Supergirl is becoming the DC TV show to watch. She and Superman are flying around National City together, James Olsen is about to be DC’s Guardian, Miss Martian is about to meet Jonn’z, Roulette’s Superhero Fight Club is coming to town, and Kara has found a new superpowered friend to join the team. We could see all of this play out in Supergirl Season 2 episode 4, ‘Survivors.’ Check out the synopsis below:
HANK AND M’GANN GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER; AN ALIEN FIGHT CLUB RUN BY ROULETTE GRABS SUPERGIRL’S ATTENTION — When Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Alex (Chyler Leigh) investigate the murder of an unregistered alien, the trail leads to an alien fight club run by Roulette (guest star Dichen Lachman), the ringmaster who commands aliens to fight in mortal combat for the entertainment of rich humans. While trying to stop the fighting, Supergirl and Martian Manhunter find themselves up against a surprising opponent. Meanwhile, Hank (David Harewood) is thrilled to have found another Martian and tries to get to know M’Gann (guest star Sharon Leal) better. Supergirl takes Mon-El (Chris Wood) under her wing and begins to train him.
The most exciting part of this synopsis is the arrival of Miss Martian, portrayed by Sharon Leal. Also known as M’gann in Young Justice, it’s unclear how she’ll fit into Supergirl Season 2. Whether or not we’ll see her fighting alongside Martian Manhunter and Supergirl remains to be seen. The synopsis suggests Miss Martian actually first appears in Supergirl Season 2 episode 3, ‘Welcome To Earth,’ since it refers to J’onnz finding Miss Martian in the past tense.

A recent Supergirl Season 2 trailer could have given us our first look at Miss Martian, but there’s no way to know for sure. If you look closely around the 38-second mark, you’ll see a woman wearing a skin-tight outfit engulfed in flames with red eyes. J’onn J’onnz is standing in front, could it be Miss Martian behind him?
The synopsis aligns with early speculation that Roulette, played by Dichen Lachman from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., would make an appearance this season. YVRshoots captured photos of Lachman wearing a red slitted dress with a dragon tattoo down her leg, which strongly resembles the DC supervillainess, Roulette. The scene took place at a police station. Floriana Lima’s character, detective Maggie Sawyer, was seen walking with Lachman before heading to DEO headquarters to meet Kara’s sister, Alex.
Roulette is one of the Justice League’s archenemies. She runs a casino for supervillains that has a gladiatorial arena where superheroes are forced to fight each other. She has no superpowers, but she’s a genius at calculating odds. Roulette was featured in live action during an episode of Smallville . Fans can also catch her in Justice League: Unlimited. Check out a clip of her gladiatorial arena here.
In addition to Roulette and Miss Martian, ‘Survivors’ may also bring more information about Mon-El and why he’s landed on Earth. In Supergirl Season 2 episode 3, Kara searches for Mon-El, who has escaped and she believes may be behind an alien assaulted on the President of the United States (played by Lynda Carter). Although, it doesn’t sound like Mon-El is the alien responsible considering Supergirl will be taking him under her wing to begin training in episode 4.
Supergirl airs Mondays nights at 8 p.m. on The CW.
