Siobhan Smythe was hired to be Cat Grant's new assistant alongside Kara Danvers. Kara was annoyed by being unable to pronounce her name correctly. Cat designated Kara as "Assistant #2" to her confusion. Siobhan promptly one-upped Kara's coffee while Winn looked on uncomfortably. Cat told Siobhan to get James Olsen and Lucy Lane into her office and told Kara to cover the phone, which she then broke. Siobhan later tried to flatter James but was brushed off. Siobhan saw them talking and walked away smirking.
Winn Schott
Siobhan continued to put down Winn but she was interrupted by Cat asking everyone in for a conference call. Siobhan showed a package that Cat should see personally, but Cat wants it open for all to see, so James takes the package and opens it to find a letter and flash drive. An unimpressed Cat tells Siobhan to have the drive microwaved. Cat tells Siobhan to call her investment broker, but she stammers for a moment before Kara took the assignment. Winn offers to help Siobhan make copies, but she is upset over finding that her father was listed as a member of a cheating website thanks to Indigo and leaves Winn to make the copies.
Fired
She continued her secret relationship with Winn until Kara caught them together in a supply closet. When Supergirl has her inhibitions destroyed by Red Kryptonite, Siobhan caught her on tape letting a Khund get away. When Cat refused to run the scoop, she plans to send it to her old employer, the Daily Planet. She planned to use the scoop as her route to returning to Metropolis as a reporter. However, Kara finds the tape, and lured her away from her desk so she can print the email. When Cat found out about Siobhan's treachery, she fired Siobhan on the spot, and persuaded Perry White not to rehire her either.
Silver Banshee
Winn took her to doctors at the D.E.O., who found that she wasn't an alien. While begging Winn for help, she started hearing a piercing scream inside her head, and also saw visions of a banshee. Later, she implied that she had been dealing with these visions for some time; she said that she had believed that she had been cursed for "all her life". Later in the week, she was walking along the streets of National City when the visions and screams returned. Out of nowhere, she stormed into CatCo Plaza and screamed at Kara, sending her flying out of a window, but Kara was rescued by the Flash, who accidentally traveled to Earth-38 after using the Tachyon prototype to get faster.
Silver Banshee
Abilities
- Curse of the Banshee : Siobhan's powers come from the curse that runs in her family.
- Sonic Scream : Because of the banshee curse that effects her, Siobhan is able to emit high-frequency sound waves through her scream. The sound waves are powerful enough to shatter glass, break thick concrete and pulverize cement, as well as cushion her falls. They are also strong enough to affect two full-sized adults at once, by knocking them off their feet, disorienting them, or even killing them. Kryptonians are not immune to these screams, either because Siobhan's powers come from a curse, as a side effect of their enhanced hearing, or possibly both. She can also direct her screams over large distances and even send them at specific targets, as seen when she deafened Supergirl without affecting both Livewire and the Flash. As her powers grow she will be able to send her scream anywhere in the world by focusing on her target.
- Superhuman Strength : The banshee spirit that took over Siobhan gave her enhanced physical strength. When the spirit first took her over, she single-handedly threw off Winn without breaking a stride. Later, after fully embracing her powers, she was able to land a hard punch on Supergirl that sent the latter flying several feet.
- Skilled hand-to-hand combatant : Siobhan has shown moderate skills in unarmed combat.
- Unnamed Father
- Unnamed Mother
- William : Uncle
- Sinead : Aunt
- Leslie Willis / Lifewire : Ally
