“Based on the classic DC Comics character, Roulette runs an underground alien fight club in National City and she is eager to get Supergirl in the ring,” reads the official description from the CW.

Originally created by Geoff Johns and Derec Aucoin for 2001’s JSA Secret Files #2, Veronica Sinclair took up the ‘Roulette’ name after her grandfather – who also operated as a villain under that name previously. In comic books, Roulette was primarily an adversary for the JSA – who are coincidentally scheduled to appear in the upcoming season of Legends of Tomorrow. She previously appeared on CW’s Smallville, played by Steph Song.
