Supergirl Mitch Pileggi and Cara Buono Join Cast:

"Buono will recur as Gamemnae, an ancient alien, who with others of her kind, have been safeguarding the Earth from the follies of humanity throughout the ages. Gamemnae’s aim is to use technology to subjegate humans."

"Pileggi will recur as Rama Khan, an ancient alien who is able to control the four ancient elements — fire, water, earth, and air. Arrogant and willful, Rama Khan has been entrusted to use his powers to protect the Earth from mankind for millions of years but now his agenda puts him at odds with Supergirl."

"In the comics their ancient magic and grand schemes are tied to Atlantis, the fabled city that exists beneath the waves of the ocean."

So, essentially, we're getting atlanteans

Isn't an alien using technology to subjugate humans to save earth from them what season 1 was?

The big twist is just that the alien isn't related to Kara?

and super old!

I expect it will be what ties supergirl to crisis

Well then, totally different and new

also, deadline says ancient aliens, but another site specifically calls them atlanteans

who...are not aliens so much

/nodnod

but you know. aquaman people

Sounds like maybe the show is making them aliens but they are Atlanteans in comics.

maybe! Guess we'll find out!

In the comics, the Atlanteans were, in some origins, aliens before they came to Earth.

oh you're right
