Comic Book to TV: 5 Iconic Characters Hitting the Small Screen This Year

While Hollywood keeps on remaking comic books stories, the small screen is not missing out on the trendy pop culture.

These five iconic characters from comic books are reaching out to a new audience through TV shows:

Jay Garrick ("The Flash" Season 2)

The new suit of Barry Allen in the new season of "The Flash" is exciting fans, but a new character is making season 2 more special.

In the finale of the first season, one odd thing is noticeable: a helmet. While TV show fans may not recognize the helmet, comic book fans will see this as a sign that Jay Garrick is coming to the series.

According to Den of Geek, his appearance has been confirmed in the Comic-Con 2015.

Garrick is known as the first "The Flash" in 1940 and is known to have inspired the younger Flash. Since he exists on alternate universe Earth-Two, his appearance may be the sign of the existence of multiverses in the series.

The role is to be portrayed by actor Teddy Sears.

Supergirl ("Supergirl" Season 1)

Supergirl is the cousin of Superman, who arrives on Earth when she was already in her late teens. In the description by DC Comics, Supergirl comes with "all the attitude and rebellion."

Just like Superman, her powers include super strength, super speed, superhuman hearing, invulnerability, heat vision, X-ray vision, freezing breath and fast healing.

Beyond her costume, she is known as Kara Zor-El. According to Den of Geek, "Supergirl" is set to air on October 26 starring Melissa Benoist.

Lash ("Agents of SHIELD" Season 3)

During the Comic-Con 2015, executive producer Jeph Loeb announced the appearance of Lash in the third season, Entertainment Weekly reports.

Lucy Lane ("Supergirl" Season 1)

Lois Lane's sister may be coming to the "Supergirl" series, reports TV Line. According to the report, Lucy Lane is similar to her sister when it comes to confidence and beauty, but she is also strong and smart in her own way.

Furthermore, the report mentioned the possibility of a love triangle since Jimmy Olsen, Kara Zor-El's colleague who she may have a crush on, is Lucy Lane's ex-boyfriend.

Tigress ("Gotham" Season 2)

Tabitha Galavan, also known as Tigress, is the new addition to the character of "Gotham", TV Line reports.
