4.5x01: Comic Con 2019

Frank and Tim pop in to recap all the biggest San Diego Comic Con 2019 news about Supergirl, Crisis on Infinite Earths, and the rest of the DC CW.

Note: this episode was recorded before it was announced Bitsie Tulloch would be returning as Lois Lane in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Frank and Tim are, of course, excited beyond belief.

• Ma'alefa'ak J'onzz (New Earth) | DC Database | FANDOM powered by Wikia — Ma'alefa'ak was the architect of an extinction-level event, which has since become known as H'ronmeer's Curse (or H'ronmeer's Plague). A plague of fire, this curse attacked Martians via their telepathic abilities. Whenever a Martian attempted to use their psionic gifts or commune with the Great Mind, they would fall victim to the Curse and ultimately burn to death. With the exception of Ma'alefa'ak's brother, J'onn and himself, nearly all Green Martians on the planet died as a result of Ma'alefa'ak's handiwork. For centuries, Ma'alefa'ak continued to live in the ruins of Mars, unaware that his brother had survived the plague, and had been transported through space and time to the planet Earth.
