Psi (Supergirl)

Gayle Marsh aka “Psi” was a recurring villainess in the Supergirl TV series. She is a bank robber with psychic powers that allow her to show her opponents their worst fears thus making them helpless. She is played by Yael Grobglas.
In episode 3.2 (“Triggers”), Supergirl confronts the superpowered criminal Psi three times. During their first confrontation in a bank vault, Psi easily defeats the heroine thanks to her psychic fear powers and escapes. Supergirl again challenges Psi with bank loot in a parking garage and about to escape in her car. Psi incapacitates her with fear, but Supergirl does get a strike in before Psi gets away. 
Next time, Supergirl is better prepared: after a short briefing by her adoptive sister from Earth, agent Alex Danvers, she is eventually able to master her worst nightmare (being trapped forever in her escape capsule after Krypton’s explosion) and confronts the super-powered girl robbing an armored vehicle. The over-confident Psi realizes too late that her powers have no effect on Supergirl anymore and is eventually knocked out with a headbutt by the heroine. Psi is taken into custody by the police, who lock a power dampening headset and futuristic handcuffs on her. Both restraints include glowing blue lights. The last we see of Psi in this episode is how she is put in a prison van.
In a later episode (3.11 – “Fort Rozz”), the imprisoned Psi cooperates with Supergirl in order to stop Reign, a very dangerous nemesis from Krypton’s old days. As she meets Supergirl and the rest of the team, Psi wears the power dampening headset again, but her hands are free. During the mission to Fort Rozz, Supergirl decides to unlock Psi’s powers so she can help them to defeat an attacker. As Psi decides to use her powers on a fellow teammate, Supergirl makes sure the power dampener is reactivated. In order to force Reign to retreat, Psi’s headset is, however, once again unlocked.
The episode ends for Psi at the DEO headquarters where she is taken back to her cell by two armed soldiers. Supergirl proposes that the prisoner is given a more comfortable cell, a proposal Psi answers with a smile.
It may be arguable if Psi reforms in this episode, thus being a candidate for a blog post. As Psi states herself, she just wants to eliminate Reign as a common threat to all beings with super powers “before breaking out of jail” herself. It seems therefore more likely that she did not reform or redeem herself.
=== Personality ===
Psi is cool, arrogant and completely convinced that her powers allow her to do whatever she wants, character traits leading to her imprisonment at the end of episode 3.2. She does not care about bystanders being injured or even killed during her bank robbing. Psi is at least slightly sadistic since she frequently smiles when she witnesses the devastating effects her powers have on other people.
=== Costume ===
She is always clad in black leather, an outfit contrasting to her light blonde mane.
