Since the actual Man of Steel (Tyler Hoechlin) isn't expected to make an appearance next week, it appears that the episode title instead refers to this season's primary antagonist, Agent Liberty (Sam Witwer), who we'll be learning a whole lot more about when the series pays a lengthy visit back to his past.
While details remain somewhat under wraps, the synopsis does seemingly tease a fairly straightforward origin story that will reveal exactly how Ben Lockwood's father (Xander Berkeley) played a part in turning his son, a mild-mannered college professor, into the radical alien-hating terrorist that's been causing Kara (Melissa Benoist) so much trouble.
"Man of Steel" - (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (TV-PG, V) (HDTV)
XANDER BERKELEY GUEST STARS IN THE ORIGIN STORY OF AGENT LIBERTY - Ben Lockwood (Sam Witwer) didn't always hate aliens. Through a series of incidents, and input from his anti-alien father (guest star Xander Berkeley), Ben slowly transforms from a mild-mannered professor into the villainous Agent Liberty of today. Jesse Warn directed the episode written by Rob Wright & Derek Simon (#403). Original airdate 10/28/2018
Season three saw Supergirl stop Reign and the other Worldkillers’ threat to humanity and our planet, and in the process, Kara was shocked to find her mother Alura alive and living in a salvaged Argo City that survived the destruction of Krypton. Reconnecting with her past caused Kara to realize that her true home is now here on Earth, where big changes are taking place for her and all of her friends in National City – and also, it appears, for a doppelganger in Russia! Season four promises to be full of surprises, action, adventure and lots of big revelations for Supergirl, Alex, James, J’onn, Lena and Brainy.
