SUPERGIRL 1x07 Clip - Hank Henshaw Revealed (2015) HD Melissa Benoist

[@SFascetta777]

I remember watching this live. There was no hints that this was going to happen, at all. The writers managed to keep this under wraps. It was stunning, and incredible, and one of the best scenes I've seen on television.

[@devinbrown6650]

Well originally they had no plans on making him Martian Manhunter. It was the actor's idea that he pitched.

[@ghidorah15]

@@devinbrown6650 Actually, it was the idea of Geoff Johns and the showrunners.

[@Suedeash]

I'm really glad they did this. I remember being flabbergasted too. Supergirl wasn't exactly the best show but it had some great moments

[@kylewarren5268]

What?! Yes there was. His red eyes, putting his hands directly through the wall of a bomb, getting out of the cuffs as he said. Also, if u know the Hank henshaw story then u knew where this was going. Lol. But your right. It was still a very well done reveal. However I had figured before this that he was manhunter. Lol

[@hammer-0]

​​​@@kylewarren5268lol the hank heshaw stroy means nothing there literally no version of this stroy in comics or any other media a part of your comment a complete lie I can tell because hank heshaw is cyborg superman Red eyes, phasing, etc could mean anything that isn't a direct conformation of Martian manhunter since we literally have several dc characters with Martian manhunter exact powers. I can see some figuring it out before the reveal but it makes sesne not everyone gonna know.

[@adeona5202]

There's something about the moment he reveals his identity.. Goosebumps!

[@charlesneely]

Yeah everybody knows how she didn't panic? And the reason for that is because he trained her not to and her job involved handling aliens that's why she didn't freak out and he trained her very very hard. Looked at him and said okay ?

[@charlesneely]

He actually went and sought her out gave his word to Jeremiah that he would look after his daughters for sparing his life and he honored that. Commitment to looking after them when they became adults that's when he acted and told them who he really was

[@lisamurphy7028]

@@charlesneely I'm not sure for sparing his life so much as trying to save it or even just treating him as an equal before Henshaw came charging in, but still, absolutely yes. He showed he was a good alien. And attacking her fathers friend would have been poor gratitude.

[@vexjaeger4314]

I loved this episode and moment. This actor captured to noble and honorable nature of Jon.

[@venkatesharunram27]

This is one of the greatest scene from the Super girl and also from all the arrowverse shows.

[@Battmatt22]

As soon as I heard “shapeshifter” I was thinking wait is he Martian Manhunter

[@baronsamedi7659]

3:11 "My name... is J'onn J'onzz, " one of the best quotes I've heard in the show

[@londellpatton8806]

This reveal was dope as hell. When the CW shows were good, they were DAMN good.

[@SnowmanTF2]

Technically this was still a CBS show at the time, it only transferred to CW the 2nd season.

[@joshua2764]

​@@SnowmanTF2 lol and that's when it went to shit S3 was cool tho

[@kingbeauregard]

I figured it out as of episode 2. There's a scene in which Alex has been captured, and Kara is yelling at Hank for being so heartless. "She's my sister! Don't know know what that means? Don't you have any family?" And then Hank gets the weariest saddest look on his face and says, "Not any more". And I knew. There's nobody in any DC Universe who's more gutted by the loss of their family than my man J'onn. It owed everything to David Harewood's acting, where he's playing this tough aloof guy, and Kara just deflates him by hitting his "lost family" button; David absolutely sells it.

[@lapourjenkins9724]

I'm the soul survivor of my Planet. The last son of Mars. My name is Jonn Jonz.

[@ashhillier8381]

*J'onnz*

[@arpitjosiahmaseeh5724]

I’m the SOLE survivor of my planet

[@scotty6858]

This was a legitimate "holy shit" moment. I think people were expecting Hank to be Cyborg Superman...having him turn out to be J'ohnn Jones was something I don't anyone saw coming..

[@lisamurphy7028]

I was enough of a Flash fan I could tell he had the same kind of secret as fake Harrison Wells: Hiding who he was. But unlike with Thawne, he wasn't hiding his loyalties. Then again, I didn't know who Martian manhunter OR Cyborg Superman were. So having a blank-slate and nothing to compare it to, probably helped on my part.

[@t-spiders1035]

Me, leaping from the couch, pointing at the screen: HE AIN'T A CYBORG AT ALL!

[@master-of-many-fandoms2020]

It’s the original Hank Henshaw turned into Cyborg Superman

[@NicoleMay316]

It's funny to think that when I watched Supergirl live on CBS and later CW, I really wasn't that big into DC. I had no clue who J'onn was, or what Cyborg Superman was, or CADMUS, or even Supergirl herself! Now I can appreciate scenes like this a heck of a lot more.

[@kingdomofaphalas.2485]

Looking back at this scene, during Crisis J'onn get's a new suit but maybe it's to signify after his struggles in season 4 and early season 5 that he is now at peace with the fact that he is the Martian Manhunter so yes he doesn't always switch to Martian form fully but he is still willing to fight like that and honour his past.

[@allentan7090]

I love that Alex gave J’onn J’onzz some cookies 😂👌🏼 Martian Manhunter really loves oreos 🤣

[@eec589]

Even in the JL animated series.

[@adeona5202]

This was one of the illest scenes in the whole show!!

[@thatguyluke242]

When I first saw this I was shook

[@anthonywilson9782]

when they first showed his eyes glowing red i knew i just knew lol 😂♥️

[@joshua2764]

I watched this 7 years ago To this day the same chills r all over my body

[@khayamakhoba]

I literally had a heart palpitation after this reveal

[@dacollector8995]

Man this scene gets me every time

[@madamminalost]

J'onn was my favorite on JL in the DCAU so I figurdd it out. I was chanting say it during this scene

[@HeavyLegion96]

That hit when his eyes went red

[@teagan8908]

for this scene they made him look so tall. Now he's just human size

[@manjugupta8958]

He was acc gliding

[@johnduckworth3866]

Well he has shape-shifting abilities i guess he doesn't keep a particular appearance.

[@Syndur]

I suppose it's a problem when you're on a TV-budget. For me, this looks like a rather simple scene -- there's just Alex and J'onn (mostly) standing there, no action or anything, static background. Me first idea was camera angle, but then there was a shot with Alex and J'onn in the same frame, so I figure a simple greenscreen with either J'onn or Alex filmed separately and then added together in slightly different scales.

[@plausibleg.3170]

Martian Mann Hunter, The Incredible Hulk and Green Bay Packers were my favorites as a child. This was before they won the Superbowl. Yes, I am happy with my choices.

[@lisamurphy7028]

The very next episode J'onn mentions that Kryptonians are impervious to his telepathy 'a fact that Superman finds hilarious'. So we finally have an answer to who the one other living person was. And it's always been there.

[@MatthewCWelch]

nice swerve. didn't see that coming.

[@BleedinggreenDrakeford7]

And then he should've said. I am The Martian Manhunter

[@ForeverWinterandHope]

Big plot twist!

[@juliansummers5983]

The shows biggest plot twist.

[@wayneadams9102]

CW DC shows always start out with such promise.. Arrow Flash, Supergirl.. hell even Legends.. It always goes off the rails eventually.. but that first season.. or first few seasons.. amazing. Except Gotham.. fuck that show.

[@huntermoore7669]

I love this scene. She doesn’t know.. but we do.. this is Jon Jones… the Martian Manhunter! One of theirs fiercest and yet more empathetic defenders a hero

[@tauhid9983]

ngl the reveal was far better than ZSJL

[@xanderm6090]

Probs cause this one doesn't feel like it comes out of nowhere and we actually got to know J'onn/Hank.

[@ghidorah15]

@@xanderm6090 Bingo. There's actual buildup and effort.

Then they ruined his character by hooking up with his niece

[@abbytan2684]

Still is

[@joshua2764]

Season 1 nights>>>>

[@Tesseract.2012]

Knowing that the show was using the opportunity to bring in Martian Manhunter was what got me into the show besides knowing they build up to crossovers every season.

[@lamario295]

He went from being like 7ft to barely 6ft in later seasons

[@joshua2764]

He can shapeshift so size and appearance obviously vary

[@MarkGuerrero-cz9bh]

weird he was never as big as he seemed to grow in this scene

[@BrandonWillard-op6hi]

The guy who played Martian manhunter in smallville was good as well

[@jmeechum]

Who is the only other living person J’onn refers to? Wondering if it was Clark, since when he first appears at the DEO, it appears he may know who J’onn is (unless Kara told him at some point).

[@lisamurphy7028]

It's subtle but in the very next episode J'onn mentions that Superman is aware of his telepathy. Implying Supes knows what he is.

[@captain_malaysia6855]

He is DC’s Vision
