Fans get to see more powers in use in the CW’s Arrow as Shrapnel, a supervillain from the comics, enters the prime time arena. His body is made of metal plates that he can toss around and fling at opponents.

What’s more is that River’s over-protective brother Simon from Firefly/Serenity will be playing him. Sean Maher joins the cast alongside his Serenity partner Summer Glau.

It remains to be seen how power-heavy the realistic setting of Arrow will portray a villain who’s made of metal but the Flash is supposed to be in this season as well so we’ll see. I for one like the addition of powers and abilities. It means Black Canary wont be far behind or too far of a stretch of the non-geek viewer’s imaginations.
