Farmboys are superior to the Leisure Class.
(Moses vs. Pharaoh.)
When Lex got kicked out of home and disowned in Smallville, and lived with the Kents mucking out the stables every morning, and doing all of Clark's chores side by side with Clark at human speed, Jonathan shakes his hand and says "i was wrong about you, you're not an evil asshole." (or words to that effect) and a couple episodes later and ever other episode after that Jonathan always says "I've always known you're an evil asshole and I have never trusted you."
If Jonathan Kent wasn't such a hard on, then Lex probably would have felt loved and decided to be a good guy, but it's Jonathan's class mentality that kept his son keyed into a war against privilege which would see him protecting the little people from the Lionel Luthors' of the world at the cost of the world usually.

I want to see John wear Doctor Fate's helm.

Has Calista gotten better? 
Interesting -- and reassuring. It suggests we need better societal mechanisms for directing power toward the most ethical and responsible people. Which is kind of what democracy is -- since it nominally gives power to those who are responsive to the needs of others -- but that's just one imperfect step, and clearly it's a process that can be corrupted by more self-serving types. Maybe in time we'll innovate further methods.
Andrew Kreisberg was interviewed in a two-part Fatman on Batman and he mentioned something I hadn't heard...
Winn's father is Toyman - which seems obvious now that I see his last name. I don't remember his surname being mentioned in the show before, though. Could be wrong.
I talk about it all the time. In the beginning some of us thought that Win was going to evolve into the Toyman himself.
And if dad dies, he does inherit all of dads shit right?

I really have a hard time envisioning Winn becoming any kind of villain on this show. No matter how jealous or upset he may get with Kara, he still seems like way too caring and friendly a guy at heart, and has already proven himself in too many life and death situations.
The only way it could work was if some alien brainwashed or corrupted his mind somehow first.

So in the DC Universe, what you're saying is that you can't see it happening in the future, because he already ran into an evil psychic alien of the week off-screen sometime between the first two episodes.
That's not it at all.
Both Schott's have the same fricking name.
Junior and Senior, I'm assuming?
Also the "new" toyman is a good guy who has nothing to do with Schott.
So Winn could also be a goody Toyman.
He could do a Hank Pym?
Create a peril only he could save Supergirl from, and therefore trick Kara into loving him sweetly because of gratitude after hes saved the Maid of Steel's life.

I figure they've been laying low until they could figure out how to get rid of Superman. But once Kara showed up, Astra wanted to recruit her niece, so that brought them out of the woodwork.
What bugs me, now that I think about it, is how much J'onn has had to hold back to keep his own secret. He's basically as powerful as a Kryptonian, plus he has telepathy, shapeshifting, and density-shifting on top of that. He could've easily brought these guys down himself, but instead he lets a bunch of fragile humans with primitive weapons throw themselves into harm's way against beings far out of their league. And all because he doesn't want to admit who he really is. Which is pretty darn selfish.
Granted, this is because the producers didn't decide to have Hank be J'onn in disguise until after the pilot had set up the premise. But still, it's a bit problematical.
Isn't invisibility one of his power set, too, or did that get New 52-ed out of continuity?
They landed well after Superman had started doing Supermany stuff. There may even be a version of the Justice League in this universe. They probably turned on the news and decided to lay low for a bit till they figured out what's what on this planet.
Maybe they didn't even have any "evil plans" at first, Astra's group has been painted more like eco-terrorists, rather than Zod's brand of "I'm the king of everything" evil.
Man, I hope they don't use the New 52 as a basis for how J'onn be depicted. That new origin alone makes that version an entirely different character.
Not going by the pilot narration -- "Earth doesn't have just one superhero anymore." Implicitly, Superman was pretty much the only game in town. Or at least the only one operating openly.
