Maybe they can get Shaquille O'Neal to guest star as Jeremy Irons's father as a nod to the movie.
Awesome reveal. I actually joked to myself saying "Hehe he could make a good Steel. Even has the suit". Then they dropped "John Henry Irons" and I lost my mind.
I'm disappointed by the general lack of excitement from the "reactors" on youtube. Some of them didn't even know who he was. I guess I'm an older fan. I've been wanting to see a live action Steel redeemed since that awful Shaq movie.
I really wanted to see that in Supergirl, because CW are pretty good with fan service. (Casting Dean Cain and Helen Slater etc).Maybe they can get Shaquille O'Neal to guest star as Jeremy Irons's father as a nod to the movie.
Yea the hardcores and older fans were excited, but this reveal was lost on younger fans.This.
And honestly, I'm upset at the lack of big "comic book fan" youtubers not talking about this. I've seen a few videos early on, but it feels like a lot of them aren't even talking about it anymore. And this show has a lot for comic book fans to be excited about.

Jimmy really should have been Steel instead of Guardian, and Shaq/John Henry Irons should have been his mentor.
Not only would Steel fit his physique, it would make WAY more sense that Guardian because Guardian was supposed to help Supergirl, but was far weaker and was damn near useless lol.I've always thought that Jimmy should've been Steel instead. As Jimmy, Mechad Brooks was miscast. It would be far more fitting for his physique to be Steel, especially since Shaq was tall as well. Would've been a better use of him, although would he have seemed like a version of Lex Luthor if he had starred in Superman and Lois instead?
I just noticed that in the re-run, too. I think it's safe to say she didn't KNOW him personally, since he looked the same on this world and she would have recognized him if so, but it seems like she recognized the name. The way he died on this world might have been newsworthy.Did Lois know who John Henry Irons was? Had Superman fought another version of him before? I just realized once she was told who he actually was, she seemed to know and sort of panic.
I think you meant to say John Henry Irons. You said the name of Simon Gruber, the butler who taught Diana Prince how to properly prepare tea.Maybe they can get Shaquille O'Neal to guest star as Jeremy Irons's father as a nod to the movie.
Could explain why Lois wondered if his accent is real. Original Morgan Edge is American but the kryptonian inhabiting him could sound British like jor-el in this showSomething else I noticed in the re-run: Leslie Larr flinching when Edge said for her sake, her plan had better work. She seemed genuinely afraid of him in that moment. Which to me suggests two possibilities: He's got something that can kill these "resurrected Kryptonians," or he IS one of the resurrected Kryptonians in Morgan Edge's body.
Ever since Derek Powell talked to Superman as a Kryptonian in episode 5, the popular belief (including from Lois and Clark) is that Edge isn’t “giving humans powers,” but rather bringing back Kryptonians in human hosts. This is reinforced by that Edge flashback in episode 4 when he found what he was looking for in that meteor shower and said something like “the resurrection begins.”As a follow-up, did I miss something? What resurrected Kryptonians?!
