The Silver Banshee is coming to Supergirl

I have long believed that the Silver Banshee was Supergirl's greatest enemy! Back before the show even started she was my top pick to see on the show! Well now that seems to be true and Italia Ricci will play the part!

Chasing Life alum Italia Ricci has joined the cast of CBS’ freshman superhero drama Supergirl in a recurring role. She will play Siobhan Smythe, Cat Grant’s latest hire who at first becomes a work nemesis for Kara (Melissa Benoist). But she later proves a more deadly foe for Supergirl when she takes on the mantle of the DC Comics villain Silver Banshee.

Sounds like Nasty, aka Nasthalthia, from the Mike Sekowsky era of Supergirl when Linda Danvers was at KSF-TV.

[EDIT: Does make me wonder how many Americans will be mispronouncing the Irish/Gaelic name Siobhan right now. ]

We can try to get it right. It's reported as being close to SHIV + AWN. But in listening to a native speaker say it, I heard it as having a bit of SHIV + OON in it. English equivalents include Shevaun, Shavon, Chevonne.

So that problem's solved here. Be interesting if they get it right on the TV show.

I learned how to pronounce it from watching Smallville.
