Yes. I'm convinced Hank Henshaw is a red herring for us nerds and that he's really Martian Manhunter.
I mean, I'd love for the Cyborg Superman to show up on this show but it seems unlikely.

David Harewood, the guy who plays Hank Henshaw posted:

Hopefully we can keep an essence of that Hank Henshaw but make him very fresh, very new, and I'm certainly going to embody a lot of that essence. In the comic books, he's very revengeful and has a deep, deep loathing for Superman. I'm hoping to bring elements of that in, but if I can keep it original and still bring the Hank Henshaw fans with me, I think I will have succeeded in doing my job.

He's not Martian Manhunter.

I'm not saying he is because I don't think he is, but if he was then: a) the writers probably haven't told him yet and b) if they had, he's not going to go and blab his character's big twist to the press.

I may have been way off about Martian Manhunter but I'm sticking to my theory that Cat has known Kara was Supergirl since their first face to face.

The whole scene with Kara facing down Maxwell Lord had me thinking back to Image Comics's Invincible and how a Viltrumite female in Kara's situation would have just puled Maxwell's head off before he'd even finished gloating.

If your going to watch a Super show, you are just going to have to accept that Supergirl or man are unrecognizable in their civilian forms. That's just a part of the universe. People don't wonder who they really are, they think they are just always Supergirl or man.

We've only seen female Kryptonians use heat vision so far so it might just be a thing they're doing with them, but their eyes actually glow red anyway.

Also I really like the detail they went into with the skin around the eyes going and red and angry-looking when they use heat vision. It's a nice touch.
