Personally feel they could have kept his job and still made him a villain. Plus it doesn't have Melissa Benoist go back to work for that bar scene, so she can still be on Broadway while her stunt double is in the Solar Suit for four episodes so it is a win-win. Ben Lockwood influences his students with his extremism as a professor, while he also takes his evil cause to dangerous levels as Agent Liberty. They could have had a cool dynamic. Instead he is just a masked anti-alien villain, but we know his past now.
