The haze of Comic Con is slowly dissipating and we are starting to hunger for more information about Supergirl season 3! Yesterday, ThatHashtagShow.com gave a juicy bit of new information to whet our palettes! DC Comics villain Bloodsport is going to be coming to the show! The specific version of the character is Robert Dubois and it sounds like he is going to be an agent of Morgan Edge. That Hashtag Show went on to release casting call notifications about the new characters. Caution spoilers ahead:
ROBERT DUBOIS/BLOODSPORT – Male, 30-40s…Looking for memorable, and distinctive performers. This evil and threatening Merc is an ex-military man who has infiltrated his former base and stolen a variety of articles that he uses to cloak an underwater nuclear device. As we later learn, he is in the employ of Morgan Edge, and he has been hired to blow up the waterfront with an underwater nuke…PRINCIPAL
Robert Dubois' actor has not been revealed yet, however, the casting notices for the other new characters was also included in the article. They have revealed some pretty exciting connections about Reign. (we covered it on our spoilers page but because these are out in the public now, we'll share below. Stop reading if you don't want spoilers)
SAMANTHA MARCH/REIGN – Female, late 20s to early 30s. Diverse. Samantha is a professional, young single mom (Trying to balance work and life), who begins to struggle to hold onto her humanity when an alter-ego, Reign — ruthless, righteous, superhuman — begins to take over her personality. Most important in Sam’s life is her young daughter, Ruby, who Sam would sacrifice everything to protect. ONE SEASON – FRACTIONAL SERIES REGULAR.
RUBY MARCH – Female, Caucasian or Latina, 11 to 14. Smart, sensitive, funny, but a bit of an outsider with her peers. An independent think who doesn’t like to follow the crowd. She’s fiercely loyal to her single mother, Sam (Odette Annable) and the two make a great team, looking out for each other and enjoying each other’s camaraderie. But Ruby’s not shy about speaking up for herself – even to her mother – when she feels she’s in the right. MAJOR RECURRING GUEST STAR THIS SEASON WITH A SERIES REGULAR OPTION FOR NEXT SEASON.
GAIL MARSH – Female, Late 20s, early 30s, Open Ethnicity. The deadly and seductive PSI (aka Gail Marsh), a DC Comics foe of Supergirl, possesses psychic abilities which allow her to bring out her victim’s darkest fears. While she is a physical threat, her real power comes in bringing the Girl of Steel to her knees without throwing a punch. LEAD GUEST STAR
MORGAN EDGE – Male, 40s, Open Ethnicity. As corrupt as he is intimidating, he intends to clear the area one way or another, and he has enlisted the services of a madman to blow up the area during a special ceremony in Supergirl’s honor. This savvy and formidable titan of industry is pushing through a huge new redevelopment plan for the city’s waterfront – and he doesn’t care if he has to uproot the entire indigenous immigrant population to implement his money-grubbing scheme. …RECURRING GUEST STAR

Hey where I can find that fanfic of yours? I tried to search on fanfiction.net but not so much luck :/
Reign: ONE SEASON – FRACTIONAL SERIES REGULAR. "Fractional" sounds like a half-season Big Bad; I wonder if they like that formula (splitting between e.g. Cadmus and Rhea) and are sticking with it.
Psi: LEAD GUEST STAR. Sounds like a VOTW to me; hopefully she'll return eventually as I think Psi's a great character. I'm just glad that they're finding villains that really are Supergirl's own. I don't think she'll lead to "overcrowding".
I remember reading Bloodshot in the John Byrne run of Superman back in the 80's, looking forward to seeing him.
Agreed - I hope we don't get into too many characters with subplots again.
