Supergirl's Nicole Maines on playing TV's first transgender superhero: “I’m nervous because I want to do it right"
"It feels fitting to say with great power, comes great responsibility," said Maines, who was featured on the HBO documentary The Trans List. She added: "We’ve had trans representation in television for a while but it hasn’t been the right representation.”
