It’s safe to say that any person with the last name Luthor tend to eventually become villainous. On Supergirl, Lena Luthor has been a breathe of fresh air as her friendship with Kara Danvers has been a series highlight. Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg recognizes the potential for the character to embrace that evilness of the Luthor name.
“The most interesting thing about Lena is that she is so good, and so moral, and believes in second chances, but she comes from this family of truly evil people,” said Kreisberg in an interview with EW. “As people are going to realize over the course of this season, it doesn’t take much to make you bad.”
“That’s what’s always interesting about Lena and any scenes she’s in, or any of the adventures that she and Kara go on: People don’t just turn evil; they do one small bad thing and then that leads to another, and then to another, and so any time you’re watching Lena, you’re always wondering, is this the moment when she does the one small thing?”
As season 3 draw close, fans will see if Lena’s turn is in the foreseeable future.
