Oooh cool thanks for the reply! I'm almost done with season 1. So they just skipped entirely to them trying to stop Omniman and season 1 would've been much shorter if they were true to the comics?

Not really. There were more episodic setups in the comics and we saw Nolan struggling to find the best way to tell Mark. It still took a while for the big climax to happen between Mark and Omni-Man. Comics are structured differently as there are no seasonal breaks. So everything was a constant development to bigger interconnected things. Changing the things up for the show made it flow better as a seasonal narrative where there was narrative thrust for the first season. It provided a throughline.
