If
he's infatuated with Kara and thus feels some duty to protect her, that could work. Help complicate his motivations. He doesn't think he's a villain, etc.

But I thought they cast Henry Czerny as
Toyman

Any chance we could ever get
on the show? Wasn't there a rumor a while back that they were looking to cast
Superboy
a young Clark Kent?

Oh you're right. Just looked it up.
Still think Winn
will go left at some point. His frustration with Kara represented the opposite of the "good underdog that deserves a chance" trope. That blistering rebuke he handed her made me feel more bad for her, not him.

Holy Shit. Ain't even mad I spoiled it for myself. It's Martian Manhunter. I'll still be surprised when I finally watch. My kids are going to be so amped!!!

The way Winn was being a shitlord last night I can believe it.
His powers will be based on his friendzone abilities.

Winn is going to end up being another one of those bitter Reddit users and all his villainy will be centered around that.

Please, Supergirl writers, realize the amazing opportunity you have. Kick Winn's ass to the curb and don't have Kara falling for this stupid 'give the nerd dude a chance' shtick.

I really wish they had made Max Lord his own thing instead of a Lex Luthor rip off.

I would imagine it's Superman, could explain why Clark isn't that concerned about these escaped alien prisoners and shit because Martian Manhunter is on it.

HOLY SHIT SNACKS!!!
MARTIAN MOTHERFUCKING MANHUNTER! WHAT THE FUCK....

True, he said person. Still hope they have more Dean Cain.
Also want to highlight my first experience with the green dude.
Let's not make him OP, okay?

Add M'Gann and Kori as Kara's alien BFF's.
I'm the last of my race, until the next 20 people.
I must start watching this show. Holy crap.

Nobody saw that shit coming.
Episode 13.
I knew it was coming and I was still like this during the reveal.

I'm not sure how they can hit on the message of women being strong and empowered every episode and not be aware.

Oh shit, you're right. Not even the sun could escape his friendzone vortex.
I love the reveal
But to be fair, Martian Manhunter was in Smallville and was handled alright

That was really good.

Actually, I thought the red eyes implied MM, but that's only because I forgot that Cyborg Supes was Hank Henshaw.
Or are you talking about Wynn being a total m'lady hat tipper?

Now that he's here, what do we think his powers are? We know he has shape-shifting, and he also has super strength (snapping Jemm's neck or just pulling apart that bomb in an earlier episode), but do we think he has his whole Swiss army knife power set? He also doesn't seem Kryptonian strong, since he couldn't break free from Astra's grasp without a kryptonite knife, but that could very well be an act.
I hope he doesn't stay that way. But if he becomes the ultimate neckbeard I look forward to seeing Winn... Lose. (This joke will not die).

Why does he wear the mask!?
Probably has his phasing ability
I'd imagine the Astra bit was him keeping his cover
Septimus Prime

I think phasing and mind reading/control are implied but never shown. Regarding phasing, the biggest question is why he didn't phase through the bomb, and shapeshifting could resolve the cuff issue (morph into a smaller body). Mind reading/control is implied when the projection of Kara's mother says no living species could resist Jemm.
All caught up! That was a lot of fun. Pretty clever misdirection with the Martian Manhunter reveal, although he was probably second in line with people's predictions. Still a real surprise, and he looks freaking awesome to boot.
Is Supergirl's suit the same as Super Saiyan hair? It just appears when she needs it? lol
Thematically that episode was on point. The whole "you don't need superpowers to be a hero" is a great message and one that's rarely addressed in the other comic shows.
Regarding Winn, I can't hate him... because I used to be him. I know he looks like such a simp pining over Kara and then trying to "warn" her about getting involved with James while having an ulterior motive, but I understand the emotion behind it, and the shitty things it can make you do. I hope there's some kind of redemption for him later down the line.
Astra needs to make a big powerplay soon, to establish herself as a credible threat. Villain reveals (Reverse Flash, Merlin, Slade) work best when the character is someone we're already familiar with, but we haven't had that opportunity with Astra yet.
And the Astra symbol is that S you drew in school

I think they just don't show her popping in a phone booth every time.
What's a "phone booth"?
Astra is lame so far, but I'm hoping she does right by this winter break episode. At least give us a cool fight.
And lol @ the S.
They have to do it at least once, right? It is mandatory for Superman jokes.
I saw that coming. Still funny.
