And while this allowed the show to expand on the fabulously cinematic montage of his Smallville youth, early romance with Lois (Bitsie Tulloch) and first rescues, complete with a homemade costume, it also offered a counter-balance to just how bad it was for Clark\u2019s supersibling before Krypton went kaboom.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we know what Rho is up to (reviving his doomed planet) and what he\u2019s willing to do to fulfill his mission (threaten the Kents until Clark submits), it was time to talk with Adam Rayner himself for some insight into this insidious and completely original character being introduced to the Superman canon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s pretty brave of the show to go and introduce a brand new character into this iconic family tree.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Adam Rayner:<\/strong> Yeah. I was as surprised as anyone. I signed on to be the troublesome billionaire, which was fine with me. And I was already out here ready to go when [showrunner Todd Helbing] introduced me to this idea. And I was, of course, thrilled because it just seemed to be so much fun. And also the idea of being related to Superman!? Yes, very brave in the sense that there\u2019s no precedent for it. It\u2019s sort of breaking new ground in the mythology of it all, which I suppose they have to discuss with DC Comics and all that kind of stuff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I can only imagine the conversations that had to h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en for this character to be introduced.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Me too! I don\u2019t know who\u2019s ultimately in charge, but there must\u2019ve been long conversations. I\u2019m just so glad to have been at the center of that. It\u2019s so much more than what I signed on for, so it\u2019s always nice when that happens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So after seeing this episode, what would you say is his major gripe: Why is Tal-Rho so pissed that Clark isn\u2019t using all of his powers to dominate?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a fanatic in a sense, ideologically. He has this overriding mission, but at the same time, he has this emotional need to unite with his brother and, in a sense, have a family again. In his mind, the two go hand-in-hand. But of course, for Clark, they\u2019re completely opposed. We can\u2019t be brothers and have one destroying humans, whereas for Edge, in his very extreme ideology, this is totally fine. We kill humans and we\u2019re now good Kryptonian brothers again. Everything\u2019s great! [<em>Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nothing bonds brothers like destroying civilizations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<em>Laughs<\/em>] Exactly. And he doesn\u2019t see any contradiction there. History shows us that ordinary people with the same sort of wants and desires as all of us do terrible things to people they don\u2019t consider to be legitimate. And that\u2019s sort of how Edge is behaving. A human\u2019s life is of no value to him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And what would you consider his weaknesses?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, I mean, he ends up having almost no weaknesses at all, as you\u2019ll see. His weakness as Morgan Edge would be that he still values his own life. He values being Morgan Edge. He values his place on Earth. So we\u2019ll see how that [plays into] his ultimate destiny as prescribed by his father.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaking of, we got a scene at the end of the episode that sort of reveals that he did <em>not<\/em> have the best father.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, no. Zeta-Roh is a piece of work. And he could really actually be considered the mastermind villain here rather than Edge himself, because Zeta-Rho doesn\u2019t show <em>any<\/em> sympathetic traits whatsoever. He has a mission, this resurrection of Krypton, so even he can sort of hide behind a \u201chigher goal,\u201d I suppose. But he\u2019s such an unpleasant character.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1003222\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1003222\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1003222\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SML104fg_0044r.jpg\" alt=\"Superman &amp; Lois + Adam Rayner\" width=\"1280\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SML104fg_0044r.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SML104fg_0044r-450x205.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SML104fg_0044r-1014x461.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SML104fg_0044r-768x349.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SML104fg_0044r-570x259.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1003222\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>We know Superman has the Fortress of Solitude.
