Warner Bros. has confirmed that DC Comics character Maxwell Lord will join Supergirl this fall, plus a pair of new villains.

Maxwell Lord will be played by Peter Facinelli (The Twilight Saga, Nurse Jackie) on the show. In the comics, Lord is a long-running character who has toed the line between hero and villain in the past. In Supergirl, “Maxwell is a green tech billionaire who enjoys a friendly rivalry with Cat Grant and a fascination with National City’s newest arrival — Supergirl,” according to Warner Bros.

“Greg [Berlanti], Ali [Adler] and I have been fans of Peter for years,” Supergirl executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said. “We’re beyond thrilled to have him join us on Supergirl’s first adventures bringing the iconic Maxwell Lord to life.”

During a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, two new villains from the comics were also confirmed: Reactron and Livewire.

Supergirl will debut on CBS on Monday, October 26. For more, read our interview with the cast.

Andrew is IGN’s executive editor of news and thinks the name Maxwell is pretty cool. You can find him rambling about animals and Spelunky on Twitter.
