~ Phillip Karnowsky to Guardian
Phillip Karnowsky is a minor antagonist in Season 2 of Supergirl. His Earth-TUD25 counterpart serves as a minor antagonist in Season 2 of Superman & Lois .
He is a former Navy SEAL. After his wife's murder, Phillip embarked on a killing spree on criminals, especially if they are on technicalities.
He was portrayed by Victor Zinck Jr in Supergirl and Shaw Madson in Superman & Lois .
Biography [ ]
Phillip Karnowsky first appears in the Supergirl episode The Darkest Place . When Guardian (James Olsen) stops a burglar by stringing him up on a street light but moments after they drive away in a motorcycle, Karnowsky kills the burglar. James is stunned to find out Guardian is wanted for murder; Snapper claims he has a bias for superheroes. Winn attempts to convince James to stop, but James plans to lure the other vigilante out. The other vigilante, named Barrage, shows up to kill a drug dealer when Guardian confronts him; both vigilantes claim they want to keep National City safe, before Barrage escapes and Guardian is confronted by police.
Winn Schott Jr. traces Barrage to an ex-Navy SEAL, Phillip Karnowsky, who is going after criminals released on technicalities. Guardian arrives and defeats him just in time for Alex Danvers and Maggie Sawyer to catch the real killer Maggie allows Guardian to leave before the police arrive.
Trivia [ ]
In spite of being based on Barrage, in the Netflix subtitles Phillip is credited as "Vigilante". While in his costume, he wears a red bandana similar to Gregory Sanders, the first DC character to use the alias of Vigilante.
