We need people like you writing superhero comics and movies.
That’s exactly what I told them when I challenged the restraining order.
I’m way behind on Supergirl but from the first season, as I recall:
It turns out the boss at the shadowy government agency is actually J’onn J’onzz, i.e. the Martian Manhunter, using his shapeshifter abilities to appear as human. I don’t recall the episode when this was revealed, but I’d’ve liked it if Supergirl was blasé about it - she knew instantly that he wasn’t human, but didn’t mention it just to be polite.
Makes sense, since after all, she’s not human, either.
(anyone else remember that court case where real lawyers were arguing that Superman was human, but that Wolverine wasn’t?)
As Superboy, he was smart enough to be able to make Superboy robots, but not smart enough to deploy them on a regular basis so as to dispell the notion that he was Clark Kent.
