The very mention of “Hank Henshaw” on Supergirl had DC fans excited for Cyborg Superman, at least until the series pivoted to find David Harewood a meatier Martian role.
It was before the series began that Homeland alum Harewood was first cast as Hank Henshaw, a character known in comics as a grotesque cyborg replacement for Superman.
I don’t like playing Cyborg Superman.
The concept was revisited in Season 2, though Harewood now agrees with fans the result was “cheap-looking” and “there wasn’t really much to it.”
