Without a doubt, the second season ofSupergirlcertainly gave us a lot to remember. Not only did we get to see Kara Zor-El interact with the Arrowverse, but we also finally met her cousin in Superman, played to perfection by Tyler Hoechlin.

As for the constants that have remained for the series, David Harewoods take on Jonn Jonzz/Martian Manhunter has delighted many fans and, to be completely honest, has become my favorite character on the show. Seriously, Harewoods ability to play an absolute badass and to juxtapose that by showing a softer side whenconveying the loneliness that comes with being the Last Son of Mars as well as the affection hes developed for his new family always makes for good television.

What hasnt gone as smoothly, however, is the other role hes taken on, that of Hank Henshaw/Cyborg Superman. For those unfamiliar, Henshaw went missing years ago, and Jonn assumed his identity. This past season it was revealed that Henshaw is not only still alive though, but that hes had some cybernetic enhancements as well.

I could go on about why I havent taken to this character, but Harewood himself echoed my sentiments verbatim when speaking at Supanova in Australia:

I dont like playing Cyborg Superman. Its boring. They didnt really flesh it out, they didnt really write for the character. They just gave me this rather cheap-looking mask and no costume, and said Okay, youre Cyborg Superman. But it didnt really pan out they didnt really go into why he was a cyborg, how he became a cyborg, what his powers were it was just kind of randomly calling him Cyborg Superman.

He sure is right about that. When they first revealed him as Cyborg Superman, I was a bit perplexed because he wasnt wearing the costume, nor did they ever explain his motive for taking on the Superman name. So, unless he gets some stylish new threads in season 3, we expect Harewood to keep on saying things such as this:

I was very excited about it at first, but then I very quickly realized that there wasnt really much to it so, its kind of boring. Whenever Im walking to my trailer and I see that costume, I just switch off. Because I know its going to be a really boring day.

Supergirlreturns for its third season on Monday, October 9 on The CW. Will you be tuning in? Let us know in the usual place!
