'Young Justice: Outsiders' season 3 episode 7 review: Evolution charts origins of the first Meta-human

For all Vandal Savage fans out there, this episode covers the backstory across history of how he became the immortal conqueror

While the first few episodes of the show this season may have been fast paced, by the time we come to episode 7 things have slowed down considerably, and for a reason.

This episode ('Evolution') takes us to Warworld, which is circling Earth, and is being controlled by Vandal Savage, who views an oncoming armada of alien spacecrafts as detrimental to his deal with Darkseid and proceeds to take action against them.

This is not before we get a glimpse of the immortal human's backstory, where we see a caveman-like Vandal killing a bear with nothing but a stone and his bare hands.

This development is important, as it gives Vandal the confidence and the curiosity to approach the "Skyfire" (a green meteor) without hesitation, even though he saw the level of destruction it brought along with it.
