Brian Michael Bendis has confirmed on his official Twitter feed that Supernatural and Veronica Mars fan favorite Alona Tal has been cast in Powers as Zora.
Here’s how Wikipedia describes the character (but beware of spoilers if you’re unfamiliar with the Powers world!).
ZORA – Deceased. A power, like Christian Walker she appeared to have immortality, but unlike him, she possessed a greater capacity for memory. She and Walker knew each other for years but according to her, for much longer since the time of Ancient China. They were shortly engaged before she was killed by a government-created power known as Boogie Girl who went insane. Zora claimed that her abilities came from her complete lack of belief in all things spiritual and her acceptance that she was her own God.
When we first see Zora in the Powers pilot, she is “shrouded in white flame and orbs of plasma that swirl around her” – unless, of course, a TV budget wouldn’t allow for that.
