on First look at Red Tornado in ‘Supergirl’

Check out this first-look image of Iddo Goldberg (Salem, Peaky Blinders) as Dr. T.O. Morrow (AKA Red Tornado) from an upcoming episode of CBS’ Supergirl.

Goldberg’s character is described as follows, “RED TORNADO is the most advanced android the world has ever seen. Designed by scientist T.O. Morrow for the U.S. Army as the ultimate superweapon, he soon becomes sentient, posing a grave danger to National City — including the people Supergirl cares about most.”

Supergirl premieres on CBS Monday, October 26th at 8:30p.m.

    Oooh. That’s pretty tough to look at. I think simplifying the look as well as removing that Styrofoam texture would help a lot. I know this is television, but my first thought is to immediately compare him to Vision, and even Vision has a more streamlined design. Hope it looks better on camera.

      We’ll have to wait for the special effects and cg they’ll use on him.

      Indeed. I can’t help but think it looks like one of those cheap, store-bought Iron Man costumes. The one-piece suit with all of the printed on detail. His head looks out of place as well since it’s the only non-textured part.

    Do people realize that the Vision is a knockoff of Red Tornado? Not that it matters, I suppose. Still, the more you know… Knowledge is power.

      But he actually looks more like a cheap Vision than Red Tornado.
      Like Vision strapped cushions from a red couch onto his body.

      Wait… isn’t Red Tornado’s first appearance in 1968? Vision came out in 1940. So….. the more you know.

    Really bad cosplay. Age of Ultron did it better.

      Yea, because comparing a tv show to a movie is logical. Then I guess I’ll throw in the same logic: Batman’s suit in BvS did it a lot better than Daredevil.

        Vision’s look was mostly practical, nothing beyond the budget of a TV show. Even for a TV show, this just looks bad and nothing like Red Tornado. I’ve seen better cosplay.

          Oh don’t get me wrong. This is horrendous. However, comparing it to a movie is illogical. I can tell you know nothing about it. It may be practical, but they are able to smooth out the suit with cgi. Trust me, if Vision would have been in AoS first.. that suit would NOT have looked like it did in Age of Ultron. You’re delusional to think otherwise.

            Yeah, it is not fair to compare it. But even in the behind the scene video where they show vision in the makeup room in AOU. The unfinished look was amazing and it wasn’t anything special. A fan with a 3D printer and makeup skills can realize a cosplay with 80% of its awesomeness if not more. There’s also Deathlok in AOS and Atom in Arrow. The two are proof that TV shows are capable of making me say “this is almost as good as Vision in AOU” rather than “Don’t do drugs kids or you’ll end up like Vision”. http://www.flickeringmyth.c…

            No doubt. Like I said, this is horrendous. However, Vision looks a lot better than Atom or Deathlok. He is very well polished and looks organic in a way. It would make more sense to compare this guy to Atom than a multi million dollar and heavy cgi movie character.

    Holy shit that looks bad. Will they use cg on his looks or what?

    Eh. I want to hope that it looks better on screen but this looks like a DBZ villain on a low live action budget. I like his facial expression, but the fact that he even has a face that can make expressions is a bit cheap for the character in my opinion. I was expecting something more like this. Just an emotionless shell of a face.

    Your assertion that the 40’s Vision, a stereotypical LGM in a cape, looks relatively the same as the Silver Age version is laughable, and renders the rest of your who-ripped-off-whom argument moot. So far as the current model looking like the movie Vision, I’d say it’s true to the extent that all bald red male-like humanoid androids are going to look alike anyway, and ask if this version would actually look better with the original yellow accents.

    Instead of being called Red Tornado he should be called Shit Storm based on how he looks…The texture makes him look like he is wearing a tracksuit covered in a body cast that someone colored. (This is coming from someone who loves the character in the comics and tv shows)
