Putting the 'SUPER'in Supernatural DC Edition Pt.2

Like A Canary Out of Hell

Although Arrow showcased several versions of the Black Canary, it was not her first appearance on a CW TV show. That honor belongs to Smallville.  In the episode Siren, the Black Canary made her CW debut.  She was played by Alaina Huffman.  Huffman would reprise the role of the superheroine 5 more times throughout the series run.

Alainia Huffman was cast as the powerful demon Abaddon for the 8th season of Supernatural.  Abaddon would become the big bad for the following season.  This Knight of Hell would lead a failed rebellion against Crowley until her death at the hands of Dean.

Only appearing in just 8 episodes over two seasons, she was one of the most powerful villains of the entire series.  

Huffman is no stranger to being

Angel of Fire

Demore Barnes is a Canadian actor who was cast as Dr. Henry Hewitten in the second season of the Flash in 2015.  Dr. Hewitt was one of the two qualified candidates selected to be one-half of the superhero, Firestorm.  After further testing, it was discovered that Dr. Hewitt was not compatible to become Firestorm.  The doctor angered by his rejection became the supervillain, Tokamak.  With the help of Firestorm’s true vessel, team Flash was able to defeat Tokamak.

About 6 years earlier, Barnes was cast as the power hunger archangel, Raphael in the fifth season of Supernatural in 2009. He would become one of the big bads in the sixth season. Raphael fills the power vacuum left by the entrapped Micheal.  His goal is to restart the Apocalypse and end the world. In an ironic twist, Raphael is killed by an even more ambitious and power-driven angel in the season finale.

Demore Barnes has a knack for playing decent men who get corrupted by ego and power.

Really Good Playing Bad

 Christopher Heyerdahl is another Canadian character actor who specializes in villains.   He often portrays the bad guy in many of his roles. He often portrays the bad guy in many of his roles.  Supernatural was no different.  He was cast as one of the vessels of Alastair.  His version of the character was introduced in “Death Takes a Holiday”  where he attempts to break a seal by killing reapers. He would appear two more times during the season until his death by Sam.

Heyerdahl is no stranger to the DC Universe.  Most recently, he had a minor role in the HBO Max’s Peacemaker series as Captain Casper Locke.

On the show Arrow, he was a henchman of the third season’s big bad, Damian Dark.

Also, he played a minor villain named Jack Gruber on the Batman prequel show, Gotham.

 His first appearance in a DC property was in Smallville. He played the evil Zor-el, the uncle of Clark Kent and the father of Supergirl.

Without a doubt, Christopher Heyendal is really good at playing really evil.

Keep On Trucking

Lee Chambers is a hunter who is abducted by monsters after a failed hunt at a truck stop.  He is played by Ian Tracy. He is resecured later by the boys and his young daughter.

Ian Tracy would join the cast of  Man of Steel.  He had a minor role in the film. He portrays the bully truck driver who harasses and physically provokes Clark Kent at the truck stop diner.  In a form of retribution, Clark destroys the truck driver’s 18-wheeler by impaling it with logs.

It seems characters played by Ian Tracey should stay away from truck stops.

Superman referred to the struggle between good and evil as the "Never Ending Battle". For 15 seasons, these Supernatural actors portrayed heroes and villains.

These actors and actresses truly put the " Super" in Supernatural.
