Superman & Lois‘ incarnation of Morgan Edge is described as “an intelligent, eloquent and impassioned self-made mogul who’s innate ability to motivate is the means to his success and others’ demise.”

In comic book lore, the character started out as a media mogul who acquired The Daily Planet but, in the wake of the Crisis on Infinite Earths arc, became a leader of Intergang/enemy of Supes.

In addition to his reign as Tyrant‘s Barry Al-Fayeed, Rayner’s previous TV credits include The Fix, Notorious, Hunted, HawthoRNe and Mistresses.
