For Liberty: Supergirl "Man of Steel"

This episode we see the man behind the steel face of Agent Liberty. Here's a recap!

"Man of Steel" might be one of the best supervillain backstory episodes so far.  It captures the center backstory of Agent Liberty; Ben Lockwood was a common family man who worked as a professor at a university. His father's opinion about aliens grew and grew on him. Ben's frustrations grow and at the point sees his dad died during the season two finale event. That's when Ben is introduced to Mercy and how he got his suit.

From then on, we see the events as Liberty killing and causing trouble in National City. But when Mercy and Otis come back with Jensen, instead of killing him he thinks it best to use him to get inside the DEO. 

Meanwhile, J'onn saves Kara and they try to figure out how to save her from the kryptonite that Mercy used. With no options at the DEO, Alex calls Lena for hep and gives the one option to save her, for now, a prototype armor.

As I said before this was such an amazing episode and another strong, well-developed character story too. Sam Witwer did a fantastic job in this episode and really captured the meaning of what Agent Liberty is fighting for. Not only that but the moments or scenes with Alex trying to figure out how to save Kara was emotional and when bring in Lena was even more emotional too. Does anyone think it's time for Lena to learn that Kara is Supergirl? I think it might be time, but I don't like to pull that plug on it yet.
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl on Sundays at 8/7c on The CW.
