Fridge / Millennium (1988)

• Fridge Logic: Revealing all of your sleeper agents at the same time may not have been the best of ideas.
  • Also, you'd think those agents would have done something more than just wait until being told to attack (and get their asses beaten.)
  • Marvel's Secret Invasion used this same idea decades later... to the same results.
  • Exactly, how did the Guardians determine who got to be a Chosen One? There seemed to be no distinguishing quality; one of them in fact turned out to be a racist bigot and was rejected. Another (Terra of the Teen Titans) was already dead, too. You'd think the Guardians would have known that.
  • Several of the Manhunter sleeper agents make absolutely no sense given their previous storylines. The worst, however, was the reveal that the entire town of Smallville had been replaced with robotic duplicates. Superman had no idea, despite having X-Ray vision.
    • Actually, this is incorrect. There was only one real Manhunter in Smallville, who took the place of the local doctor. This agent's plan was to plant a mind control chip in every single baby born in Smallville after Kal/Clark arrived in Smallville, so they would operate as sleeper agents. They would then subdue every single non-chipped Smallvillian, such as the Kents, and cause Superman to be unwilling to hurt them due to being innocent, especially Lana Lang. The fact still stands that in all his years, Superman never was able to see his family doctor was a robot or that every person in his generation and younger had chips in their heads is still ludicrous.
    • There is, however, an element of Fridge Brilliance. Even with his post-Crisis origin where his powers developed over time, it's likely a real doctor would have noticed something unusual about young Clark, especially since invulnerability was one of his first powers to begin developing.
