Supergirl: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

11. Superman

Supergirl 2017
The CW

Supergirl's first season went so far out of its way to include Superman without actually including him that, by the time Season 2 rolled around, it was in desperate need of a tangible Man of Steel. And that's exactly what they got.

With chiselled features, a comic-accurate costume and a toothy grin that would inspire anyone with hope, Tyler Hoechlin's Superman is everything that the character should be. He's strong, he's fast, and he's a mentor to Kara when she needs him to be. However, despite his stature as one of the world's greatest superheroes, he never overshadows his cousin on her own show.

Furthermore, the writers have done a great job of fleshing out multiple aspects of his iconic backstory in spite of his few appearances, highlighting just how much Lois, Kara and Earth all mean to him. And, whether he's the bumbling Clark Kent or the triumphant Man of Steel, it's always a joy to watch Hoechlin perform.
