Powerless: First Look at Green Fury

04/06/2017 09:13 pm EDT

Powerless aired a new episode tonight, and it brought a new character - with a storied history of DC mythos - into the fold.

Beatriz Bonilla da Costa (Natalie Morales) - a.k.a. Green Fury - was introduced in the episode's opening minutes, after saving Teddy (Danny Pudi) from falling off of a building. This led Teddy on a quest to woo the superhero, in hopes of getting a date with her.

Green Fury has been an element of DC Comics since 1978, when she was introduced in Super Friends #25. The heroine - who literally has the powers of emitting green flames - has gone by many alter-egos, including Fire and Green Flame. The character's most modern incarnation started out as an amateur model who later worked for Brazil's version of the NSA, which led to her getting her powers in a pyroplasmic explosion.

In the years since, Green Fury has been a member of several superhero organizations, including the Justice League and the Global Guardians. Her membership in the later group caught our eye when Crimson Fox appeared in the Powerless premiere, and we speculated what other members of the Global Guardians would follow suit.

In a world where humanity must cope with the collateral damage of Super Heroes and Super-Villains, Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) begins her first day as Director of Research & Development for Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises that specializes in products that make defenseless bystanders feel a little safer. Full of confidence and big ideas, Emily quickly learns that her expectations far exceed those of her new boss (Alan Tudyk) and officemates, so it will be up to her to lead the team toward their full potential and the realization that you don't need superpowers to be a hero.

Danny Pudi, Christina Kirk and Ron Funches also star.

Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, Len Goldstein, Marc Buckland and Dean Lorey are executive producers of "Powerless." Buckland served as the director of the pilot. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television and is based on the characters from DC.
