Her character is described as brash, funny and equally as successful as her older sister.

She will appear alongside Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin who decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become Supergirl at the age of 24.

Lucy is also the ex-girlfriend of award-winning photojournalist Jimmy Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) and will apparently make her debut in episode three.

Supergirl - which is produced by Arrow and The Flash's Greg Berlanti and Family Guy's Allison Adler - premieres on CBS on October 26.
