The Flash Season 8 Adds Newcomer Mika Abdalla as Phantom Girl

Legion of Superhero member Phantom Girl is coming to The CW’s The Flash in season 8. Created by Jerry Seigel and Jim Mooney in the pages of Action Comis #276, Tinya Wazzo is an alien from a planet that exists in the fourth dimension and is a member of the 31st Century superhero team The Legion of Superheroes. The character traditionally uses the name Phantom Girl but has also gone by Apparition and has the ability to phase between objects and make herself intangible.

The character has been adapted in a number of animated series, from Justice League Unlimited to a lead role on the Kids WB series Legion of Superheroes. Phantom Girl recently appeared on the newest season of Young Justice: Phantoms, yet the character has never appeared in live-action, unlike some of her Legionnaires like Lightning Lad or Saturn Girl. Now though, it appears the character is finally set to join the Arrowverse in the current season of The Flash.

According to The Wrap, newcomer Mika Abdalla has been cast as Phantom Girl in The Flash season 8. Abdalla is also cast in the upcoming Hulu original film Sex Appeal. Her character on The Flash is described as a meta teenager who had successfully hidden for years in plain sight and whose life is turned upside down when she becomes the subject of Iris West-Allen’s latest investigation for CC Citizen Media.

Phantom Girl is not the first member of The Legion of Superheroes to join the Arrowverse. Supergirl established much of the team’s mythology with appearances from various members, including Mon-El, Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5, and Nia Nal, aka Dreamer, who is the 21st-century ancestor of the Legionaire Nara Nal. It is unclear if Phantom Girl will be connected to the Legion of Superheroes, but given the fact that characters from Supergirl like Alex Danvers have appeared on The Flash, it is likely the connection could be further established.

Phantom Girl is one of many famous heroes from the DC Universe introduced on The Flash to be part of the heroes Central City team, but how exactly her story will fit remains to be seen. The Flash is currently about to air the fifth and final part of its event series Armageddon which has seen Barry Allen face off against The Reverse Flash and Despero. While the outcome of the event has yet to be determined, the introduction of a new superhero means whatever threat awaits Team Flash, they will likely need some more firepower.
