Is Brainwave putting on a show for his ISA counterparts, so that they see that he is not going to falter in their plan? However, there is a part of me that doesn’t believe this is the end for Henry. DC’s Stargirl is an American superhero teen drama web and television series. This is all speculation since we donât ever see Henryâs body after his own father kills him.
