"Supergirl" TV series will have Non and Toyman in the show and the possibility of a shared universe with other DC TV shows.
CBS's latest DC superhero TV series adds two new Supeman villains in the roster in the form of Toyman and Non. Executive Producer Ali Adler stated during the New York Comic Con event that Toyman in "Supergirl" will be a different person rather than Winslow "Winn" Schott (Jeremy Jordan). Toyman in the comics is one of Superman's notorios villains, who uses all sorts of weapons and explosives disguised as harmless toys.
This version of Winslow Schott in the series is a IT whiz at CatCo and just happens to be Kara Danvers/Supergirl's (Melissa Benoist) co-worker and next door neighbor and knows she is an alien in the leaked pilot episode.
Aside from Toyman, Non in "Supergirl" will be played by "Transporter" TV series star Chris Vance, The Hollywood Reporter reported. Comic book fan will remember Non as one of General Zod's enforcers during "Superman II" film starring Christoper Reeves and the characters is described as a former Kryptonian scientist and a "brutal" military officers who is sinister, powerful and angry.
