(It also would have been nice to have a successful show like this on television, with a black father as a part of an intact family unit in the household throughout the whole series.)
But how does the ONE character on the show with powers to render his body intangible and walk through solid matter, get shot up with bullets not once, not twice, but 3 damn times in the span of one season?!!

I agree with you on this... they didn't know what to do with a positive black male character? HELLO!! He's a hero... maybe they wanted to do something that would catapult some kind of storyline with Micah... DL was the second best good person on there... he wanted to do good from a Father's standpoint... I loved that... His whole motivation was his son... not saving the world... but making his son proud of him! What's more heroic than that? But the world we live in doesn't see things that way unfortunately, and that is reflected in their choice to kill off DL...
One thing about his power... he has to actually focus on becoming intangible... hence his being taken by surprise and getting shot those 3 times...
