Supergirl will introduce Krem of the Yellow Hills, a pirate and brigand who will change Kara Zor-El in a whole new way.

is lifted straight from the comics. Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s stunning reinterpretation of the character made waves back in 2021 in an eight-issue series that took Kara to the depths of space, forcing her to establish her own legacy and confront cosmic threats while dealing with the personal trauma of surviving Krypton.

In the comics, Kara is pursuing payback against a villainous brigand named Krem of the Yellow Hills. She’s doing so for two reasons: he hurt Krypto, and she’s been asked to help a vengeful girl named Ruthye, whose father was killed by Krem.has been cast as the DCU’s Krem, a villain who proved to almost be a match for the Girl of Steel.A pirate and assassin, Krem is something of a mystery; we don’t know his backstory, and the comics even hint that “Krem” may not be his real name. He’s selfish, ruthless, and utterly self-interested, with absolutely no code of honor. Krem sees no shame in taking a kill-shot from a distance, injuring Krypto as well as Supergirl when he attacked them with a bow and arrow. He was able to harm them because this encounter took place on a planet with a red sun, meaning neither Supergirl nor Krypto had powers there.comics, Krem left his own world in Supergirl’s ship, which he stole because he was still intimidated by her. He formed an alliance with a group known as Barbond’s Brigands, who are basically space pirates; they are described as “a wicked gathering of wicked men that went from place to place earning money off the carnage they wrought.” Working with the Brigands, he participated in several horrific acts of genocide, while developing weapons that he believed could counter Supergirl.Krem isn’t really a physical threat to Kara . He is, however, utterly ruthless and disturbingly competent, figuring out how to use exotic weapons and technology to his advantage in order to threaten Supergirl and shake her off his scent. The quest to bring Krem to justice took Supergirl and Ruthye into some of the darkest situations in the galaxy, literally bringing them face-to-face with horrors such as genocide – atrocities that Krem had happily participated in. He may lack powers, but his lack of morality is what makes Krem such a compelling villain. We don’t really know much about Barbond’s Brigands , beyond the fact they clearly share Krem’s lack of morality. It’s entirely possibleas a member of the Brigands, given the Czarnian’s own ethics largely correspond with theirs, or alternatively Krem may well hire Lobo to be useful muscle now a Kryptonian is chasing him down. Whatever the case may be, it’s reasonable to assume Lobo has been added into the mix to make for a physical challenge in action scenes rather than a philosophical one.
