Supergirl: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

Sam Witwer's arrival brought with it another incredibly layered character for the Smallville veteran, as Ben Lockwood a.k.a. Agent Liberty ended up following in Reign's footsteps and ultimately proved to be another check in the win column for the show.

Initially a good-hearted teacher who defended aliens, grief over the loss of his alien-hating father marred his outlook and sent him on a journey of rediscovery, as he slowly evolved into the bigoted, hate-spreading and fear-inducing monstrosity known as Agent Liberty.

Dominating the first half of the season with his compelling storyline, Lockwood would unfortunately find himself playing second-fiddle in the second half, as the writers teased us with both an Agent Liberty resurgence and redemption in the final act without ever pulling the trigger on either. That wasn't enough, however, to overshadow the strength of Witwer's performance.
