In the debut edition of MVP, we asked for your votes to determine the greatest heroine of the Golden Age of comics, and the votes have now been tallied, giving us a solid top ten of some of the most iconic heroes in comics. While a few of the entrants on the list may come as no surprise, there's one or two entrants who cracked the top ten that could benefit from a modern age revival.

Welcome to Supergirl Guys, our regular feature breaking down the highs and lows of CBS’s Supergirl TV show starring Melissa Benoist. Your travelling companions on this journey are Superman super-fan Chris Haley, and Flash recap veteran Dylan Todd. This week, Kara goes up against a big red robot that looks like it escaped from Starlight Express, the nerds have a game night, Lucy Lane's dad is horrible, and Cat Grant's mom is also horrible. “Red Faced" was directed by Jesse Warn and written by Michael Grassi and Rachel Shukert.

Before Supergirl took flight with her October premiere, CBS offered up a sneak peek of Salem star Iddo Goldberg in the role of notable DC android Red Tornado, to mixed reception at best. Now, with November 30 installment “Red Faced” inching closer, Supergirl shows off a much better look at the character in action with new photos, as well as a synopsis.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from our years on the Internet, it’s that there’s no aspect of comics that can’t be broken down and quantified in a single definitive list, preferably in amounts of five or ten. And since there’s no more definitive authority than ComicsAlliance, we’re taking it upon ourselves to compile Top Five lists of everything you could ever want to know about comics. The Justice League is known for having not only the heavy hitters of the DC Universe, but some of the most popular fictional characters in the world, so it’s really no surprise that numerous worthy heroes fall through the cracks and never get the attention and accolades they deserve. Today we’re going to try to remedy that just a little and give five such characters their moment in the sun.

The establishment of CBS’ Supergirl as its own separate DC universe left us curious as to how the super-series might handle design on some of the comics’ more outlandish characters differently than Arrow or The Flash. To wit, we have our first look at Iddo Goldberg as DC super-android Red Tornado, and he’s certainly a vision of … well, something.

Costume design is one of the great strengths of the superhero genre, a way to establish distinctive visual shorthand for a character and reveal key details about concept, purpose, and personality. But which is the best superhero costume of all time? This month, we’re asking you to decide, by voting up your favorites and voting down the rest. When we have your votes, we’ll compile a list of the greatest super-costumes of all time. We're wrapping up our super-poll with a few unusual takes on classic superhero design, from a 00s Superman pastiche to a very 80s Green Lantern, plus an arguably under-appreciated Kirby classic, and two particularly quirky robots.

Here at ComicsAlliance, we value our readership and are always open to what the masses of Internet readers have to say. That's why we've given Senior Writer Chris Sims the punishment pleasure of stepping into the grand tradition of the Answer Man as he responds to your reader questions...

When DC Comics revealed that September's "Red Tornado" #1 by Kevin VanHook, Jose Luis and J.P. Mayer would introduce the android to a robot family he never knew he had, the publisher's other artificial family the Metal Men probably felt pretty threatened - especially when the first of the bunch turned out to be a lady bot by the name of Red Torpedo...

There's a new robo-woman in town. Her name? Red Torpedo. DC Comics' The Source blog premiered Ed Bene's cover art for the upcoming "Red Tornado" miniseries by writer Kevin VanHook and artist Jose Luis today, giving readers a first look at the mysterious new character with the highly-suggestive name...
