Supergirl Trailer: 25 Easter Eggs And References You Need To See

7. Despero

One of those alien threats looks an awful lot like Despero. He's one of Superman's greatest villains, but is likely very low on Warner Bros.' list of bad guys they want to bring to the big screen, possibly explaining the alien despot's presence in Supergirl. There are however those who believe that the pink alien on the screen is classic Superman villain Parasite. There's definitely a resemblance there, but the show's focus on alien threats makes Despero a more likely candidate. He admittedly doesn't have his fin, but that could easily be one of the sillier aspects of the comic book version they've decided to remove. Look closely at his forehead too, and there definitely appears to be something there...his third eye perhaps?
