The CW's Supergirl has a new nemesis. Van Helsing star Jennifer Cheon Garcia has joined the series as a guest star.
According to Variety, Garcia will play Midnight, "a murderous villain released from an otherwordly prison to enact revenge against the person who put her there." Appearing in the Season 5 premiere, the character is described as "the physical manifestation of darkness."
In addition to Van Helsing, Garcia has appeared in The 100, Lucifer, Supernatural, Fringe, Once Upon a Time and Arrow. Her past credits also include Minority Report and The Drive.
Judging by the character description, Garcia will play a variation of M1dn1ght. Debuting in Kate Perkins and Sami Basri's Superwoman #15 in 2017, M1dn1ght was a computer code created by Lena Luthor that took physical form. Lena designed M1dn1ght to free her from an inter-dimensional prison. After M1dn1ght served her purpose, she went rogue. She began to kidnap citizens across Metropolis, with plans to use them as leverage.
Returning Sunday, October 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW, Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers, David Harewood as Martian Manhunter, Mehcad Brooks as Jimmy Olsen and Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers.
