The plot is definitely thickening! I can see Mark struggling to keep his secret, balance high school, his love interests, and superhero responsibilities. Mark’s mom (Debbie) is understandably anxious about his safety. She isn’t painted in blue but she still wears purple shirts in nearly every scene she appears in. Danger from unsuspecting places are bubbling to the surface and I’m excited to see how Mark reacts.
Earlier, there was a fairly even ratio of male to female characters, but dramatic unforeseen circumstances have changed the ratio. There are now more white males. I’m hoping for more female characters and characters of color. Dupli-Kate may be Asian, but haven’t seen enough of her yet.

Mark’s Dad (Robert) killing the guardians of the globe! Equally as shocking in the comics as it was in the TV show adaptation. I think he framed Samson’s Butler somehow, but I can’t remember and/or I’m not sure how he did it.Earlier, there was a fairly even ratio of male to female characters, but dramatic unforeseen circumstances have changed the ratio.
