I am – Hercules!!

A liquidy wupervillain goes after the host of “Soul Train”!

Here’s what we said in Coax’s July 21 “Birds of Prey” spoilers:

* It’s common knowledge that the pilot’s villain-of-the-week is a fellow with a Scarecrow-like flair for exploiting one’s worst fear; what’s less known is the nature of Harleen’s subsequent evildoing minions. We’ve learned she’ll be using a mutant assassin named Slick, who can transform himself into water and back. He also likes to drown people with his own body.

* One draft of the pilot script established that Barbara taught a computer lab. Though that scene isn't expected to air, it will be established in the Slick episode that Barbara does indeed oversee a classroom at New Gotham High School.

* "Prey" producers also seem keen on generating lots of sexual tension between Helena "Huntress" Kyle and Reese, the quasi-adversarial police detective she keeps bumping into as they investigate the same supercrimes.

9 p.m. Wednesday. The WB.
