The CW is growing its superhero slate, adding Naomi to the line-up. The show boasts a good cast - here's who they portray & what else they've been in.
The CW is getting a new superhero show with Naomi — here’s a cast and character guide for the latest comics adaptation series to join the Arrowverse. Naomi is the ninth series to join The CW’s superhero slate. The DC Comics-based TV show has a sprawling cast as it follows the titular character on her adventures to discover her true identity.
Naomi follows the title character, a 16-year-old who is on the debate team and is a huge fan of Superman. Feeling close to the Man of Steel because they were both adopted, Naomi must navigate her personal life — which includes loving parents and supportive friends — alongside a mystery that hits close to home. On the road to discovering why Superman suddenly appeared battling someone above the streets of her town, Naomi realized there was far more to her past than previously believed.
Naomi was developed for television by director Ava DuVernay and Arrow writer Jill Blankenship, who is also the showrunner. The series’ vibe fits in alongside The CW’s slate of superhero shows. Here is the full rundown of the cast, including which characters they play, how they compare to their comics counterparts, and where viewers know the actors from.
Naomi McDuffie is the protagonist of the series. She’s a popular student at school who also has a geeky side that shines through in her love of Superman and comic books. Naomi is based on the DC character of the same name. With a superhero moniker of Powerhouse, Naomi was created in 2019 by Brian Michael Bendis, David F. Walker and artist Jamal Campbell. In the comics, Naomi is the daughter of two metahumans and hails from another planet in the multiverse. She has the power of flight, energy manipulation, and super strength. She is played by Kaci Walfall, who most notably played young Nala in The Lion King’s Broadway show. The actress also recurred in the TV series Army Wives and had guest roles in Modern Family , Power , and Person of Interest .
Greg McDuffie is Naomi’s adopted father and a veteran military officer. He encourages Naomi in all her activities, but he’s also hiding something when she goes snooping for the truth after the Superman sighting. Greg is played by Barry Watson , who is most famous for playing Matt Camden in the long-running drama 7th Heaven . Watson has also appeared in Sorority Boys , Teaching Mrs. Tingle , and Samantha Who? , while recurring in popular series like Gossip Girl (the original show and not the reboot), Hart of Dixie , and Masters of Sex .
Jennifer McDuffie is Naomi’s adopted mother and a linguistics teacher. Like Greg, she’s supportive and proud of Naomi, but is also keeping something from her daughter regarding her past. Jennifer is portrayed by Mouzam Makkar, who is best known for her roles in The Vampire Diaries , the TV series Champions , The Exorcist , and The Fix . She has also guest starred in Bones , Law & Order: Special Victims Unit , and NCIS .
Annabelle is Naomi’s best friend and helps her to discover what’s really going on in their town of Port Oswego. Annabelle is played by Mary-Charles Jones, who was in 48 episodes of Kevin Can Wait and had guest starring roles in New Girl , Hannah Montana , and Grey’s Anatomy .
Nathan is Naomi’s friend, who she also dated for a short while before breaking up. Nathan is also the school jock, active in sports. He’s played by Daniel Puig, who has been in a short film and a TV movie called The System before being cast in Naomi .
Anthony is one of Naomi’s friends and someone she potentially likes as a romantic interest. Anthony is played by Will Meyers, who is best known for roles in Bad Education , The Walking Dead: World Beyond , and guest appearances in the Netflix original series Orange is the New Black and Gotham .
Lourdes is also one of Naomi’s friends and someone who has a crush on the titular hero. Lourdes runs the local comic book and vintage collectibles store. She is portrayed by actress Camila Moreno, who previously appeared in the short film Lost Beyond the Stars .
Dee is the owner of the local tattoo store who Naomi suspects has something to do with the Superman sighting. In the comics, Dee is from the planet Thanagar. Sporting wings, Dee ultimately becomes Naomi’s mentor. In Naomi , Dee is played by Alexander Wraith. The actor is best known for portraying Agent Anderson in ABC's Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. , Vasily Reznikov in Orange is the New Black , and Aleki in Hawaii Five-0 . Wraith has also appeared in The Mandalorian , Snowfall , Westworld , Taken 3 , and Grey’s Anatomy .
Zumbado is the owner of a local car lot. He follows Naomi, always watching and she suspects Zumbado knows a lot more than he’s letting on about her true identity and past. In the comics, Zumbado was a villain who aimed to conquer his home world. With super strength and the ability to travel between dimensions, he is one of Naomi’s key adversaries. In The CW series , Zumbado is portrayed by Cranston Johnson, who is known for the series Filthy Rich , P-Valley , Wu Assassins , Hap and Leonard , The Fix , and Euphoria . He was also in the films The Best of Enemies and Women is Losers .
Aidan Gemme as Jacob - Jacob is also one of Naomi’s friends and Annabelle’s longtime boyfriend. Aiden Gemme has appeared in Tomorrowland , Deliver Us from Evil , Dora the Explorer .
Stephanie March as Akira - In the comics, Akira is an alien from another Earth who has powers and from whom Naomi seeks help. Akira is portrayed by Stephanie March, who is perhaps best known for her role as Alexandra Cabot in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit — a role she reprised in the short-lived spinoff series Conviction . March has also appeared in episodes of Grey’s Anatomy , 30 Rock , Happy Endings , and Neon Joe , Werewolf Hunter .

Naomi finally picks a love interest in the first season of her CW series, because one of her suitors has a tragic past that would spoil their future.
WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for Naomi Season 1, Episode 4, "Enigma, " now available on the CW.
One of the biggest quagmires Naomi has given the title character is deciding who she wants to spend her high school days with. She has been emotional and distracted over her alien heritage all season, getting attention from several different characters but fearing she may still end up alone. Naomi finally solved her romantic issues in "Enigma" by picking her soulmate after learning about Dee's own romantic past, which was even more heartbreaking.
Naomi got the alien disc from her nemesis Zumbado ( played by Cranston Johnson ) and it took her to Akira, Zumbado's former ally who supported his civil war back on their planet, Earth-29. Akira warned Naomi to forget the past because it would only bring death and destruction. Akira then disappeared, but her words quickly came true when a bounty hunter arrived to kill Naomi on the Port Oswego football field. Dee thankfully intervened to save her, using his Thanagarian wings to fight the attacker off. After the new villain fled, the mentor and his mentee had a heart-to-heart conversation.
Dee admitted the "Q" tattoo on his neck was for Qyeala -- his lost love. Dee didn't say how she died, but it might follow the original comic canon where he lost his beloved in a war against Zumbado's group, or it could be part of the Rann-Thanagar war that Naomi has teased. Dee hated seeing Naomi in despair, admitting that he wished he'd told Qyeala how much he loved her, but when he tried to save her, it was too little, too late. Under the tough warrior exterior, he was nursing a broken heart and urged Naomi to grab true love if she found it.
Taking Dee's advice, Naomi went to meet her ex-boyfriend Nathan, hoping to resolve their issues after she broke up with him at the start of the series. "Enigma" ended with them kissing passionately. But while Naomi may have made her choice, Naomi the series has loose ends on the subject. What about the potential LGBTQ romance between Naomi and Lourdes? Is Nathan her endgame, or will the show tease other potential suitors like Dee or Lourdes to potentially break up the renewed relationship?
See how the love quadrangle unfolds in Naomi, with new episodes airing on The CW Tuesdays at 9pm ET/PT.
I'm a former Chemical Engineer. It was boring so I decided to write about things I love. On the geek side of things, I write about comics, cartoons, video games, television, movies and basically, all things nerdy. I also write about music in terms of punk, indie, hardcore and emo because well, they rock! If you're bored by now, then you also don't want to hear that I write for ESPN on the PR side of things. And yes, I've written sports for them too! Not bad for someone from the Caribbean, eh? To top all this off, I've scribed short films and documentaries, conceptualizing stories and scripts from a human interest and social justice perspective. Business-wise, I make big cheddar (not really) as a copywriter and digital strategist working with some of the top brands in the Latin America region. In closing, let me remind you that the geek shall inherit the Earth. Oh, FYI, I'd love to write the Gargoyles movie for Disney. YOLO. That said, I'm on Twitter @RenaldoMatadeen . So holler.
