The character Lucy Lane first appeared way back in DC’s Silver Age Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen comic book series. She is the younger sister of Lois Lane, and had an on- and off-again romance with Jimmy Olsen.

The character will have a similar backstory for the Supergirl TV show.

Recently, Sons of Anarchy alum Chris Browning was tapped to play Ben Krull, aka the villain Reactron. He joins Peter Facinelli (The Twilight Saga, Nurse Jackie) who was confirmed as DC Comics character Maxwell Lord at Comic-Con.
