Episode 7: ‘Human for a Day’

There had been lots of speculation about what Hank Henshaw’s secret was. He was clearly hiding something, and we kept being teased with “red eyes” which most people, myself included, attributed to his comic book counterpart, the Cyborg Superman. Another theory that was floating around was that Hank wasn’t the Cyborg Superman, but the Martian Manhunter. I had mostly dismissed those theories, thinking there was no chance a show like this is going to do that in it’s first season. I’m not sure I’ve ever been so thrilled to have been wrong. When Hank revealed himself as the Martian Manhunter, it was fantastic. To top it off, the character design looks incredible. Since then we have seen his Martian form a number of times, and each time has been great.
