In the Supergirl episode ‘Star-Crossed’, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) admits that being a superhero and being in love isn’t easy. While her man Mike tells her to be safe — “I always am” she replies — there’s a real threat in National City and it involves the statuesque Rhea.
Rhea is portrayed by Teri Hatcher. She’s known for her roles on The Odd Couple (Charlotte), Desperate Housewives (Susan), Seinfeld (Sidra), Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (Lois Lane), MacGyver (Penny Parker), and The Love Boat (Amy, the Love Boat Mermaid), among others. Supergirl airs Mondays at 8pm on CW.
