Here comes another Supergirl villain. Italia Ricci has been cast as Silver Banshee on the CBS series and her first look at the iconic DC villain has made its way out via ET Online. Sporting white hair and skeleton-inspired makeup, she screams angrily.
Silver Banshee is the alter ego of Siobhan Smythe, a second assistant hired by Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) at CatCo Worldwide Media. She and Kara (Melissa Benoist) are soon involved in workplace rivalry, but Siobhan later becomes a much more deadly foe for Supergirl when she takes on the mantle of DC villainess Silver Banshee.
In the comics, Silver Banshee "has superhuman strength, speed, endurance, agility, an impressive ability to resist attacks and a gift for languages. She often uses her sonic-based abilities to weaken her victims."
Siobhan will be first introduced in the upcoming 14th episode that will air Monday, February 22 at 8/7c on CBS. Titled "Truth, Justice and the American Way", it will see Supergirl battling the deadly Master Jailer (Jeff Branson), who is hunting and executing escaped Fort Rozz prisoners.
