*** They still had to use Kryptonite to do that. There might not be an equivalent of Kryptonite for Vartox's species.

[[folder: Why isn't Jeremy Jordan portraying James Olsen rather than Wynn Schott?]]
Jeremy Jordan in my opinion should have been cast as James "Jimmy/Jim" Olsen rather than Toyman's son, Wynn. while [[Main/CanonForeigner Mechad Brooks portrays a character created specifically for the show]].

* If Kara's cape is Kal-El's baby blanket then what is ''be'' using as a cape? I always thought his cape was his baby blanket?

** Still, thinking of it from his perspective, even if he believed his reasons for not visiting were valid (and I'm not saying they are or aren't, that's a separate debate),it still seems hard to believe that he wouldn't visit his cousin for 12 years (Or so the main page says). She's not just his cousin, after all, she is, as far as he knows, the only other Kryptonian in the universe apart from himself. Think about it this way: This guy's been on Earth 36 years, and if we assume he may have only learned of his true heritage at 13-16 years old (that seems to be the age range most adaptations have), then that means he's had around 23-20 years of lamenting how he's the only Kryptonian in the universe, plus a possibly hard childhood of getting used to his powers, and the 12+ years of being apparently the only superhero on earth. Not to mention his very existence inspired the creation of a group of people who are ready to kill him, and any other aliens, should he (or said aliens) make one bad move. Then suddenly this girl comes along who is not only Kryptonian, but his cousin to boot. Which makes her not only the only other member of his species that he's aware of, but also the only member of his biological family he may ever know of. Under those circumstances, it's hard to imagine that Superman would be able to resist visiting her, even if he thought he should.

** Still, thinking of it from his perspective, even if he believed his reasons for not visiting were valid (and I'm not saying they are or aren't, that's a separate debate),it still seems hard to believe that he wouldn't visit his cousin for... however many years it's been (do we know how many years it's been? Because if we do, can someone say what it is, so I can stop saying that). She's not just his cousin, after all, she is, as far as he knows, the only other Kryptonian in the universe apart from himself. Think about it this way: This guy's been on Earth 24 years, and if we assume he may have only learned of his true heritage at 13-16 years old (that seems to be the age range most adaptations have), then that means he's had around 11-8 years of lamenting how he's the only Kryptonian in the universe, plus a possibly hard childhood of getting used to his powers, and then suddenly this girl comes along who is not only Kryptonian, but his cousin to boot. Which makes her not only the only other member of his species that he's aware of, but also the only member of biological family he may ever know of. Under those circumstances, it's hard to imagine that Superman would be able to resist visiting her, even if he thought he should.

Ok, so in the pilot, Kara asks James what Superman is like in person, implying that she's never met Superman herself. So, what, Superman hasn't bothered to visit his cousin in the however many years it's been since he found her? That doesn't sound like something Superman would do.

[[folder: Why did Vartox run away?]]
* When Vartox has Kara at his mercy, Alex in a DEO gunship fires a rocket that doesn't even come close to him, and than he decides to run away instead of taking the five seconds to chop off a helpless Kara's head or even destroy the gunship despite it posing no real threat to him or otherwise they would have used something else than ineffective rockets.
