Red Tornado will be portrayed by "Salem" actor Iddo Goldberg. The character is described by CBS as "the most advanced android the world has ever seen. Red Tornado is designed by T. O. Morrow, a mad scientist, to be the "ultimate super weapon," against the U. S. Army's enemies. According to Entertainment Weekly (EW), Goldberg will appear as both Red Tornado and as the mad scientist creator of the android. The android will have the ability to create powerful winds, and also a member of the "Justice League" in the comic books.
