She lifts bro! Supergirl's Melissa Benoist muscles up on Vancouver set of The CW hit
Melissa Benoist is proving to be quite the heroine.
The 28-year-old actress was snapped on Friday on the Vancouver, Canada set of her hit series on The CW, Supergirl, looking healthy, fit and strong as she filmed a scene in which she took on a monster.
In the action-packed sequence, Benoist was seen wearing her superhero outfit of a shirt, cape, boots and skirt as she engaged in battle with a reptile-like monstrosity with multiple horns.

She's also been seen on TV shows such as Homeland and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit; and in film such as Whiplash, The Longest Ride, Band of Robbers and Patriots Day.

As cameras rolled north of the border Friday, news broke from the show's executive producer Andrew Kreisberg that Supergirl will have plenty of new playmates, as producers are planning to team with three other fantasy shows on The CW - Arrow, The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow - on 'a true four-way crossover' between the programs.
Kreisberg, according to TV Guide, said that network president Mark Pedowitz's decision to renew a slew of shows last month has opened the door for unprecedented collaborations featuring characters on all of the aforementioned programs.
