The eighth episode of season 4 saw Cavanagh return to theArrowverseafter almost a year of absence.The Flashconcluded last year, leavingSuperman & Loisas the final DC TV show on The CW from that era despite it moving away from theArrowverseconnections.
As a result, it wasn’t a surprise when Cavanagh turned up as an entirely new character this time around. In the past, Cavanagh played multiple iterations of Harrison Wells inThe Flash. At the same time, he also playedEobard Thawne / Reverse Flashand Pariah in theArrowverse.
InSuperman & Lois, Cavanagh plays Gordon Godfrey. While that name might not instantly ring bells for viewers, it is familiar to DC Comic fans. Cavanagh’s character appears to be the show’s iteration of Glorious Godfrey, a New God and member of Darkseid’s inner circle.

While Cavanagh’s new character seems to have larger ties to the Superman mythos, it is unlikely that we will see his New Gods storyline from the comics played out. With just one episode left for the show’s inevitable conclusion, introducing Godfrey’s link to Darkseid might prove a little too much. However, Cavanagh is expected to appear in the series finale to cap off his impressive run with The CW.
