Supergirl Hank Henshaw Friend or Foe?

[LaughingMage]

I know, I know in the comics he's the cyborg Superman but in the show things seem to be a bit different this time around. I think I got a pretty good hunch who he might be and I though I run my theory by you guys.

Spoiler

I think he's the Martian Manhunter.

 

[BH/HHH]

Yeah this has been discussed a lot on here, I think it's possible but given who he is I reckon he is just a Cyborg. Although given he knew what Alex was doing in the last episode it would fit with MM's mind reading skills although she was on a Computer so maybe it was Cyborg Superman tapping into the Computer she is using.

 

[The Guard]

I'm fairly certain that if they were to put the Martian Manhunter on this show, he'd be detective John Jones.

They have at least a little regard for the basics of the source material.

 

[BH/HHH]

Probably true but we can speculate, it's fun

 

[Rowsdower!]

Nonsense, we all know General Swanwick is Martian Manhunter.

 

[Cybermaxis]

Perhaps in case Supes went rogue Henshaw may have undergone some "ehancements" thanks to Dr. Jeremiah Danvers' research on Superman. Maybe the red eyes has to do with Red Kryptonite?

 

[Mysteryman]

After last nights episode,
I don't think John Jonnz would work so actively against alien species, red eyes or not.

 

[BH/HHH]

Nonsense, we all know General Swanwick is Martian Manhunter.

I really wish they'd have done a teaser at the end of MOS with his eyes glowing red.

Depends how long he's been "active". There is no reason he could not have been a detective "John Jones" in the past. After what happened in Flash I'd not be suprised if SG is gonna pull a Dr. Wells on us.

 

[metaphysician]

I continue to hope not, because Henshaw's behavior and personality is about as far from what I'd want to see from J'onn without going outright villainous. I suppose its possible J'onn replaced a prior actual Henshaw, and is staying in-character, but that seems a stretch.

 

[superboy13]

Maybe he's not MM OR Cyborg Superman. Maybe he's Cyclops!

 

[BH/HHH]

Having not yet scene Human For a Day I did see the reveal that Henshaw is

Spoiler

the Martian Manhunter

as many of us had speculated.

Admittedly I wasn't sure they would go down this route but I did speculate and enjoyed the speculation about it. Some were too happy to say there was no way it would be that.

 

[Cain]

After last night the thread starter deserves a no prize.

 

[Webhead2006]

ya this thread is now moot from the reveal last night.

MM looked ****ing awesome as hell.

 

[Boy Scout]

I'm glad they made him a real suit. Although the effects last night were far from terrible, it was obvious that his outfit was computer generated.

I don't care for him being seven feet tall, though.

Actually no its not....IF, Hank Henshaw is still alive. t:

 

[metaphysician]

Bear in mind that Hank Henshaw "died" in his own comic origin story. As long as the circumstances of his death could plausibly allow him to become a cyberkinetic ghost, he could still be around.

I think he will be, wouldn't shock me if they changed the MM actor somewhere down the line and gave him become detective John Jones.

 

[DigificWriter]

I think we're more likely to see Jeremiah come back as a version of "Cyborg Superman" than we are to see the real Henshaw show up, especially since we've already seen Harewood bring that character to life via flashback.
