Supergirl’s First Foe Revealed?

Who will Supergirl face in the CBS pilot?

TV Line has some scoop today in this week’s Matt’s Inside Line column. Here’s what they had to say:

Do you have any scoop on the upcoming Supergirl TV Show? –SuperSurfSurf
Kara Danvers née Zor-El will have her work cut out for her from the get-go, seeing as her adversary in the series pilot will be the DC Comics baddie Lumberjack. To that end, the CBS freshman is seeking a hulk akin to “Rory McCann, the 6-foot-6 actor from Game of Thrones” to play this “big, burly monster of a man, who has battled Kara’s cousin” — that’d be you-know-who — “in the past” and shows up to ascertain her level of power, on behalf of an unseen superior.

We aren’t familiar with a Supergirl villain named Lumberjack, but the DC Comics Wiki came up with a picture of this guy, who appeared in an issue of Wonder Woman back in the day. Could “Lumberjack” be a codename for something else – or someone else? You can read the TV Line scoop column here.
