Supergirl Season 1: 10 Big Questions From 'Blood Bonds'
7. How Will Kara React To Torture?
Following on from the not-all-that-crazy points that Astra makes, we then see Karas aunt essentially tortured with Kryptonite by General Lane and his men. In a real modern world where such techniques are heavily, and rightfully, frowned upon when horror stories of modern torture in the battlefield are relayed, the actions of Lane here are totally despicable. For Kara, theres a whole raft of emotions at play. Not only is the notion of torture itself a messed up concept to the Maid of Might, theres then the fact that this act is taking place on one of her own race, and even worse its happening to her aunt. Obviously where Kryptonite is concerned, theres not all that much Kara can do right now, but there has to be big questions over how Kara will react to this torture going forward and whether it will tarnish her viewpoint of whose side shes fighting for.
