    Man that reveal had me with a face exactly like this.

    No Caption Provided

    But in a good way. I've been enjoying this show immensely although it has had it's ups and downs. However this whole twist saddens me slightly. I really want to see MM on the big screen. But I doubt we ever will.

    @dondave: Yeah, I totally thought that's who it was at first glance. Was totally thrown off when he said he was Jemm

    @avatar_of_green: Jemm, not Jim. Based on the character Jemm, Son of Saturn

    Eh good call, I was thinking he looked just like Despero. :) Though obviously that would have gone down much differently if that were true.

    Still feels like everyone involved in this show is phoning it in. Acting is sub-par, special effects are meh.

    Episode itself was mediocre in my opinion but that MM debut was pretty awesome wasn't expecting it at all.

    @avatar_of_green: Yeah. I thought that's who it was until they referred to him by name.

    Does DC have something against Henshaw? first they made Zor-El the new Cyborg Superman and now the Martian is Henshaw,the heck? are DC characters actively handled by ignorant gits? or are their writers told not to get their characters in their contracts? what's next? Jason Todd shows up but turns out to be Adam Strange all along. I find it amusing that people are saying "saw it coming" how did you see it coming? but then again DC is the master of BS,they outright lied about Talia in Rises and Arkham Knight. Pulling crap out of their asses seems to be what DC is good at,Harewood talked about becoming the Cyborg in his interviews what a bummer. It's non sense like this that leads to people coming up with Leto is Jason Todd or Affleck is Deathstroke theories.

    They actually set it up pretty well for the real Henshaw to return as Cyborg Superman, like maybe he was assumed dead but maybe he was horribly injured and someone turned him into a cyborg. He could be season 2's big bad.

    Okay, one other person knows Hank's secret according to the dialogue. Who is that do you guys think? The main candidates are obviously the real Hank or Alex's father. Or maybe it is some unannounced character or something lame like Superman. It will be interesting to find out.

    If they pulled a 10 second cameo each episode like that one, even half as good, it would make me so happy to watch this show.

    @geewhiz: @birdman400:I'm aware that Henshaw may well show up later on but this reveal was poor,you can tell they made up their minds on who he was supposed to be either while filming this episode or just before it. It's a poor reveal but I should've realized it's one of the Berlanti pandering to fanboys shows.

    I didn't exactly see the twist coming. Instead I just saw a gif on tumblr of Hank in episode 2 or something with his first red eyes reveal tagged Martian Manhunter. From then on I just concluded that everyone must've known he was Martian Manhunter..I didn't exactly count it as a spoiler until now where I'm super pissed that y'all are having so much fun being surprised and all. I was and still am worried we won't be seeing cyborg superman because he's freakin awesome.

    Was I really the only one that saw the MM reveal coming? For me it was the way they were setting it up in the past few episodes. I felt they were trying to trick us that he was a villain ... it wouldn't have been a twist if he was evil because of all those ominous "red eye" moments with Hank. So I knew he had to be a hero. And when I thought of red eyes, I thought of Martian Manhunter. I was 90% sure until Hank told Gem there was none of his family left to hurt, after Gem threatened them.

    I was still freaking out when the reveal happened though!! So excited. He's one of my favorite characters and I think he could get his own show.

    @dondave:

    Why did they chose Jemm for the evil telepathic alien? Despero was the obvious choice and he's actually a villain.

    This was my thought exactly. I mean, Jemm can come across as a little arrogant sometimes (due to his being royalty and all), but despite that he's always been pretty noble and heroic in over 90% of his portrayals in the comics at least.

    Maybe he is just out of his mind at the moment or something...

    When I look at the first episode this show already improved very much. There are still a few things they can do better but this one had me complaining about nothing. I am a bit tired of the "superhero loses his power"-trope because of the comics but I still enjoyed it. The "moral lessons" have been integrated into the story better and better. Flockhart is just perfect as Cat.

    @entropy_aegis his eyes would glow red like MM's have been characterized. he'd constantly make dialogue references to being alone, understanding isolation, and loss etc. there was that bomb that he somehow got through and couldn't have if he wasn't phasing. his flashback self was a dick and his current self (aside from the pilot) was a nice guy... and he seemingly knew things that could only be known by telepathy. it really wasn't complicated if you pay attention and have half a brain.

    maxwell lord's persuasion powers have also been used repeatedly already. he pushed alex at the table to reveal about her parents and Kara's been pushed to become increasingly more angry and volatile since encountering him.

    I honestly dont care,Hank Henshaw is an actual character distinct from from Martian Manhunter, there is no difference between this and introducing Bruce Wayne and revealing that he's actually Penguin all along,it might be a twist to brainless retards but for those with half a brain it would make no sense at all.

    Those so called clues are not clues that's just you reaching(red eyes wow you got me sir,isolation and his attitude) and making your own assumptions(bomb and the stuff he knew) . But even if this was a properly executed reveal it would still suck because HANK IS AN ACTUAL CHARACTER and no one has any reason to suspect he's anything but Henshaw. Lame twist is lame and makes the Leto=Jason and Affleck= Deathstroke theories not sound inane.

    You want a good twist read Midnighter.

    I think your analogy is flawed. In this show, Hank Henshaw is *not* the Martian Manhunter. The real Hank Henshaw is presumably dead (although I have this weird feeling that his character will show up later as possibly the Cyborg Superman) and John Jonzz assumed his identity (what better way for a shape shifter to avoid being hunted by the government?)

    I would agree with you if the show had the actual Hank Henshaw be the Martian Manhunter -- but that is not the case.

    Nicely said, i could not have done a better retort,
