Aside from the familiar Superman, there are some other new exciting characters coming to "Supergirl" season 2. According to a scoop by TVLine, the new season will have Lex Luthor's sister Lena, a "brash leading man" named Nick Farrow, the leader of Project Cadmus and an openly-gay female detective.

[SPOILER ALERT!] Lena, expected to be a new regular character on the series, arrives in town to get out from under the shadow of her infamous brother. She's described as sexy and smart and determined to get what she wants, but her agenda remains unclear.

Nick, the son of a famous reporter, is another new regular. He is "looking to make a name for himself in the news world but the question of whether he can leave behind his former selfish and hedonistic ways will constantly arise. In hanging out with Kara, the hero in Nick might finally come out."

Project Cadmus is headed by a diabolical woman nicknamed The Doctor. She uses her surgical skills to implant prisoners with alien technology. Meanwhile, the out-and-proud lesbian cop works at the newly formed Science Police, which deals specifically with metahuman and alien threats. Both will be recurring during the new season.

One more new character to recur on the sophomore season is Snapper Carr, a veteran journalist appointed by Cat to remake the news division by going old school.
