Entertainment Weekly has learned that Rahul Kohli will guest-star on an upcoming episode of The CW's hit superhero drama Supergirl as Jack Spheer, who DC fans should probably recognize by his villainous mind-controlling alter-ego, Biomax.

This iteration of Spheer is being described as a charismatic tech genius who has spent decades working on a medical innovation that will eradicate major illnesses and change the face of the world - that is, if it works. He'll arrive in National City to showcase his latest innovation to members of the media, which includes both Snapper Carr and Kara Danvers, and to possibly rekindle his old relationship with ex-girlfriend Lena Luthor.

In a statement, Kohli, who currently stars on the network's zombie/medical drama iZombie, expressed his immense excitement at getting another opportunity to play around in the world of DC Comics: “I’m so excited to be working on Supergirl starring as Jack Spheer. It’s given me the chance to continue my relationship with The CW as well as fulfill my goal of meeting a Kryptonian.”

Kohli will debut in episode eighteen, titled "Ace Reporter," which is an episode that executive producer Andrew Kreisberg says will tackle the importance of journalism and the importance of journalism ethics.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

The hour-long drama centers on Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, who was born on the planet Krypton and escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she has been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.

Supergirl features:
Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl
Mehcad Brooks as James 'Jimmy' Olsen
Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant
Chyler Leigh as Alexandra 'Alex' Danvers
Jeremy Jordan as Winslow 'Winn' Schott
David Harewood as J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter

iZOMBIE is the CW's best show. No question.

ConnorHawkeye - 3/1/2017, 9:28 AM

This could be good, I like him on iZombie

SimplyAz - 3/1/2017, 9:36 AM

Man, finally getting some Brown Asian dudes on TV and Movies, and Three British Asians like me in Dev Patel, Riz Ahmed & Kohli.

Times are good.

GhostDog - 3/1/2017, 9:38 AM

@SimplyAz - Dev is one of the best actors working today. Criminally underrated. I want to see him get more roles.

SimplyAz - 3/1/2017, 9:42 AM

@ComicsBornAndBred -

Looking forward to them getting more diverse roles, just strange that we have got so many at the same time.
Although I don't want Dev to be Nightwing, would rather he played a Brown Asian Superhero as would have a bigger impact.

ConnorHawkeye - 3/1/2017, 9:43 AM

@SimplyAz - Don't forget Ben Kingsley and Kunal Nayyar

SimplyAz - 3/1/2017, 9:49 AM

@ConnorHawkeye - Oh wow. Didn't realise Kunal was from England. Got to love Ben "Trevor" Kingsleey as well.

ConnorHawkeye - 3/1/2017, 9:55 AM

@SimplyAz - I always thought that they could revamp characters like the atom or stingray as an Indian guy, or with the abundance of IT based brown asians, make one of the IT sidekicks Indian, and change their name, but give them the same code name.

ConnorHawkeye - 3/1/2017, 9:56 AM

@ConnorHawkeye - Yeah, I still think marvel messed up shane black's vision

blackandyellow - 3/1/2017, 9:38 AM

iZombie is the best CB show. Still not watching Supergirl, but good for Rahul.

SimplyAz - 3/1/2017, 9:40 AM

@blackandyellow -

I need to check it out, on my list.

sKeemAn - 3/1/2017, 9:42 AM

@blackandyellow - Supergirl wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. It got better towards the end of season 1. I haent watched Izombie.

blackandyellow - 3/1/2017, 9:45 AM

@sKeemAn - I watched the pilot then threw in the towel on Supergirl. It doesn't help that it airs opposite Monday Night Football for half the year.

sKeemAn - 3/1/2017, 10:14 AM

@blackandyellow - lol! I waited for Netflix, so I could take my time.

GAThrawnIGF - 3/1/2017, 12:33 PM

@blackandyellow - Wow, what a mistake you made.

MrAisA - 3/1/2017, 9:44 AM

So Green Arrow gets all of Batman's villains (that the CW is allowed to use) and now Supergirl is getting Green Arrow villains? Weird.

ConnorHawkeye - 3/1/2017, 9:46 AM

Side Note, Wonder Woman final trailer is coming on the 11th

2013venjix - 3/1/2017, 12:49 PM

@ConnorHawkeye - this month?

LordHarryLatts - 3/1/2017, 9:54 AM

This guy is nothing short of tremendous on IZombie...which is all but ignored on this site for reasons I don't know.
