Winn's Girlfriend Gets Bigger Role

Lyra Strade's role in Supergirl is getting bigger as season 2 contunes! Guy walks into a bar, meets beautiful woman who is an alien, goes on Valentines day dinner date, the rest writes itself right? Well not exactly, because as we know Winn is the man in the van and with a hobby like that and powers like Lyra's, she could become a valuable asset to team Guardian! In a Spoiler Room interview with Natalie Abrams, Jeremy Jordan had this to say:

In our world strong-willed women and women who are powerful in their own ways tend to have other things going on, so we find out that there are secrets. But for the first few episodes that we see Winn and Lyra, it’s more about discovering how their relationship fits into this new world that we’re discovering on Supergirl.

The trio of Winn, Guardian and Lyra could make a good B team for when Supergirl is off world. Further more, you could combine them with Alex and Maggie's dynamic duo and have a real powerhouse! We know Winn is in the musical crossover probably making him a traveler in the interdimetional song fest which will leave, Maggie, Alex, James and Lyra to deal with National City!

If James and Winn do have a fallout over Lyra, I hope Lyra joins the DEO and Winn stops working with James to resume his DEO job.


I don't know, it looks to me like the writers are doubling down on Guardian, I don't see him going anywhere...

Solution to Team Arrow scenario is simple, remove Guardian. Plus Lyra is not going to be permanent character by the looks of it.

I think the CW should create a show for characters in other shows to go when they want to develop their storyline and make them into superheroes fighting crime. That way these characters can develop on their own show and leave the main show, they come from, intact. There are too many superheroes in SuperGirl. The main character and focus are getting lost on these secondary characters.

Lets get one of our better comic book gurus to help, but I wonder if Lyra ends up being Dawn Star or connected to her in some way. Dawn Star is from Legion of Superheroes!!.


She could be Dawnstar or Wildstar from Starhaven....if she does become part of the crew, I hope they show a little bit of her culture, it is very similar to Native American culture....should be interesting to watch.

Dawnstar is a bounty hunter in the comics, and they mentioned another bounty hunter in the first season that I thought we would have seen by now, Lobo...

I enjoyed the character, I liked the actress. BUT, I found her makeup job to be totally distracting. Hopefully they'll find a way to evolve her look, not to something more human or sexy, just not so much like "stick a bunch of random stuff on her face in thick layers."


If they evolve her look to look more human, then IMO that totally takes away from the sweetness of Winn seeing past anything that others see as unattractive, or too alien. You might as well bring in a cop or something that is human for Winn to fall in love with....

Oh goodie just what the show needs another hero taking screen time from Supergirl. When did this turn into team Arrow. I like the fact that Winn is getting a love interest,but another hero. Please NO.

The character is good in that its nice to see Winn with a love interest. However, if she is going to be given a bigger part, please do it without taking additional time away from the main characters of SuperGirl, Alex and the DEO.

I like how they designed her Makeup, it reminds me of the Bajorans in Star Trek.

NO, that totally looked like Vampires from Buffy


I can't speak to Buffy as I never watched it, but I actually thought Nana Visitor was cute as a Bajoran. This makeup design is more reminiscent of Odo to me in its glaring-ness.

But regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing more of her!

It seems we have 2 or 3 parties fighting crime - Supergirl/ Mon-El, Maggie/ Alex, and now James/ Winn/ Lyra.
