They totally mislead people with the Immortal scene in the trailer.

Oh hey, Kate's brother!

Glad to see Donald back!

Showing how important Eve is to Mark that even in a universe where he's evil he can't outright kill her.

I now know how to pronounce Angstrom's last name!

More RobotxMonster Girl set up.

Amber is in full nice and supportive girlfriend mode but I wonder how people will react when the cracks start forming before they break up. But it does feel like they're trying to sell people on the Amber relationship still.

Oh Cecil if only you knew you were putting your faith in a guy who would kill you and take over the Earth.

Didn't expect Olga to come back. I guess they need someone to replace that other Superhero wife friend because I think she was associated with another Image property?

The beginning of Debbie's alcoholism.

Eve talking about feeling lonely and then immediately talking to Mark? I don't think that's a coincidence.

I like how they introduce Bulletproof as someone who can take Rex's BS.

Mark getting a taste for how Cecil missions go and it not jiving with him feels like foreshadowing how their partnerships will ultimately go.

Interesting set up where part of Angstrom's hatred of Mark is partially fueled by his AU counterpart who experienced Mark destroying his Earth. I guess that overrode his compassion and altruism, on-top of driving him insane.

He’s a robot now. He was a cyborg in the comics i think the whole time.

Yeah, if I remember correctly he survived the Omni-man debacle in the comics because he was able to have his head detach and escape.

It seems like in the show they've decided to use the Omni-man incident as an explanation for his reconstruction as a robot - which I personally like. It feels like clean storytelling.
