Casting continues for Supergirl season 1, and we’re learning more about a couple of iconic comic book roles on the freshman series.

First, Iddo Goldberg will play “Dr. T.O. Morrow (aka Red Tornado).” This is interesting, as it seems to indicate that Supergirl is somehow combining the roles of Red Tornado (an android and a member of the Justice League) and T.O. Morrow (his creator and a villain).

Says Warner Bros. Television: “Red Tornado is the most advanced android the world has ever seen. Designed by scientist T.O. Morrow for the U.S. Army as the ultimate superweapon, he soon becomes sentient, posing a grave danger to National City — including the people Supergirl cares about most.”

EP Greg Berlanti recently teased that Red Tornado would have a connection to General Sam Lane, which makes sense as he is described as being designed for the Army.

Goldberg’s roles include Tut, Salem and Mob City.

The role of General Sam Lane has also been cast. Veteran actor Glenn Morshower will play the father of Lois and Lucy Lane. Morshower, we’ll note, has a lot of experience playing military roles in both film and television.

The character is being described as “a powerful military lifer — and an overprotective father to both Lucy Lane and her sister, Lois. His arrival in National City stirs up trouble for Supergirl when he enlists her in a dangerous government initiative.”

This news comes on the heels of our first look at Lucy Lane, as played by Jenna Dewan-Tatum, on Supergirl.

Morshower’s many credits include X-Men: First Class, 24, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Friday Night Lights.

Supergirl season 1 premieres Monday, October 26 at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
