Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.)

We have been taught that Superman is the icon for truth, justice, and the American way. He is the ultimate superhero, and always does what it right. He is also an alien with more strength and power than anything we can imagine. There are no counters to him. Well except Kryptonite which is unbelievably rare. Besides that, there is nothing we can do to stop him. Luckily he is on our side…but what if he wasn’t? This week, The Brain Trust looks at other Super Men who have the same powers as Kal-El, but without the same moral and ethic compass. We even look at a world where the he lands in Soviet Russia and spreads communism throughout the world!
