Badass Superhero Nicole Maines Makes Variety’s Power of Pride List

This Pride month, we’re excited to see Nicole Maines get special attention for her acting and activism in Variety’s Power of Pride List. As the first transgender superhero to ever appear on TV, most people know Maines from her ass-kicking role as Nia Nal, or ‘Dreamer,’ on The CW’s Supergirl. However, Maines has been our LGBTQ+ superhero since she was in middle school.

Since her court case win, Maines has been a fierce advocate for trans visibility. On-screen, we’ve had the pleasure of watching Nia’s character develop as she grapples with both supervillains and transphobia. You can also catch her starring in the 2019 feminist vampire flick, Bit, where Maines depicts a teenager who stumbles upon a ring of queer vampiresses who use their deadly powers to rid the streets of predatory men.
