The wedge is obviously him being the prince of Daxam instead of his bodyguard, which seems more likely to drive CW relationship drama for a few episodes than send Mon-El off the show. He certainly could wind up lead poisoned and in the Phantom Zone or the 31st century any time they want to write him off, but not…

Kara also seems to think she's still maintaining a secret identity, so that's consistent.

It's odd how that's funny, but would be really hard to pull off in a Superman show.

Though you really have to wonder how that would look in live action.

a world that has ALWAYS been written in the comics as having been settled by representative bands of all the First Nations people of the Americas

Latino is a bit more likely, though both are relatively small minorities: "The racial makeup of the city was 95.2% White, 1.2% Native American, 1.5% from other races, and 2.1% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.7% of the population." https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…

I don't read it as "no opinion" so much as "I spend my life on the Internet and have seen this argument go round generating heat and no light one million times, so can we please not do it the million and first?"

I don't really want this to be true, but I grant that it's not out of bounds for the CWverse.

Impressively for people who were cast as elderly couples in the 1980s, a fair fraction of them made it into this century. At least two of them made it past their hundredth birthday, and one was still alive and working a few years ago at age 101.

"James, Earth is safe in my cousin's hands. But Kandor needs Nightwing and Flamebird!"

I dropped out of Smallville after the first season (give or take a handful of later episodes and the finale), so I missed that one.

I think that spending thousands of years trapped in an asteroid in the constellation Sagittarius qualifies you as a space-centaur!

I'm just disappointed they didn't show the statues of Atilla the Hun, Genghis Khan, Captain Kidd, and Al Capone.

Fair point re Mister Genie. And I'm sure it's only the cancellation of Bob Hope Comics that deprived us of the reveal that Super-Hip's guitar was actually an otherdimensional symbiote and the source of his powers.

Aquaman and Quisp. Wonder Woman and Mister Genie, J'onn J'onzz and Zook.

I also sort of like the casual drop that a character who's basically been in the show thus far to do reaction shots, get coffee, and be a hot blonde is a Yale grad. Presumably within five years she'll be running CatCo.

Thinking about it, Green Arrow may be about the only major Silver Age DC hero I can think of who didn't have either an imp or a diminutive mascot, so it's about time.

Eobard Thawne is functionally Mopee for the show's version of the origin.

There's a long history of characters defined by their attempt to transcend a villainous family legacy. Supergirl, in particular, has a long association with two such, one of whom was actually (as she was known then) Lena Thorul. While they're not hewing particularly closely to that model, there's no reason the…

Hey, Comet may be a centaur cursed into a horse form who becomes a cowboy when an eponymous celestial object is visible in the night sky, but he is 100% native to Earth!
