Former Superman Dean Cain was blasted as “disgusting” after making “cruel” remarks about “Supergirl” newbie Milly Alcock’s appearance.
The “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” alum, 56, took to X Sunday to reshare a photo of Alcock, 26, dressed up as Supergirl but with several ear piercings.
“Wait … if Supergirl’s skin is bulletproof, how does she have ear piercings?” the user wrote, as Cain responded with a thinking face emoji.
The user then followed up with a photo of Cha-Ka from the 1970s series “Land of the Lost,” writing, “And why does she look like this guy?”
“Dang it … I laughed,” Cain candidly commented back.
“you are shallow and cruel,” one critic wrote in response to the actor.
“Some ‘Superman’ you turned out to be, huh?” another added, as a third chimed in, “You are old enough to be her father and have a big voice. Maybe don’t empower her bullies.”
“What a shame, I used to admire you,” a fourth wrote.
“How unprofessional and disgusting of you to say that,” another agreed.
Reps Alcock and Cain weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Cain portrayed Clark Kent on the 1990s series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” alongside Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane.
He stuck with the series for four seasons from 1993 to 1997.
Alcock, meanwhile, will portray Supergirl, aka Kara Zor-El, in the forthcoming superhero film, set for release on June 26.
She worked alongside David Corenswet, who is the current Superman in the DC Universe.
The Australian actress’s other notable roles include the HBO series “House of the Dragon” as a young Rhaenyra Targaryen, and the show “Upright” as Meg Adams.
