On September 1, the network announced on its website Iddo Goldberg was cast as Red Tornado, “the world’s most nefarious android who is capable of devastating National City”.

In the pages of DC Comics, Red Tornado has primarily been portrayed as a heroic member of the Justice League since his introduction in 1968.
And here’s how he’ll look as Red Tornado. The color scheme is close to that of the original Iron Man suit from the first 2008 movie.
Here’s what Goldberg looks like outside of costume. He posesses “aerokinetic powers”, which essentially means that he can fly in the air and create tornadoes, typically using the lower half of his body. But shows like this need time to sort things out and really get footing, so hopefully the first few episodes of Supergirl end up finding their way to crafting a decent comic book show.

When Supergirl starts up later this year on CBS, it’ll be a new outlet to realize more characters from DC’s lineup for the television screen. She was adopted by an Earth family at age 12 after her parents helped her escape the destruction of Krypton.
