Firstly I understand your desire to have an origin story and have it early, however I'm not feeling this for a number of reasons. The first is that while I understand that not everybody is killed by Joker, Venom, Magneto or you know a "real" villian but I'm not a fan of the idea that his Uncle was killed by someone at random (it also suddenly occurs that if we know why the brothers didn't have their parents I don't recall it.)
My personal opinion is also that if you are only dedicating three episodes to the arc that all three should be chasing HAVOC not one involving Long. I'm going to assume there is some logical reason why he suspected Nate. I mean under normal circumstances you'd never figure out that Bats and Bruce or Supes and Kent are the same guy. (Though you really have to wonder how Lois, Perry and Jimmy Olsen NEVER figured it out) anyway I'm sure its explained at some point but I personally feel this deserves a longer build. If it was my call (and my vote is to) have KC somehow covertly employ Long. (Why does he think of Long anyway, had he shown truly extraordinary detective skills?)
He shouldn't be flying victims out (IMO) he should pretty much be freeing people and maybe clearing a path. The reason for this is that if you want him to improve in the handling of the suit flight should be extraordinarily difficult. I might go so far as to have him attempt flight back at the house, fail horribly (Have you seen Ironman?) and failing that take a car to as close as he can get.
This is again a personal point (as opposed to something that is actually wrong) I wouldn't view the politicians death as a trade for everybody else. Him dying didn't cause the crowd to die, the terrorist being alive did, letting the terroist escape makes the politician's death pointless instead of a sacrifice so that other may live. The way you have it IMO, I'd be double checking the politician to make certain he was dead so that such a thing didn't happen again because of him. Again this is personal opinion, and it comes from the same place that makes me question Spiderman 2 as I will explain here. *I HATE that Doc Ock throws a fucking CAR through a window at Parker and MJ, then throws Peter up against a brick wall and tells him to bring Spiderman. The only reason Parker [and MJ] survived was because Parker had Spider Sense and dodged the car and Spider toughness (or whatever he has) that allowed him to crack bricks with his skull and suffer no damage. So throwing a car was a really bad way to get the attention of somebody he didn't think was Spidey, and if he knew why not just take him there? End rant* It just doesn't seem like the charachters are making logical decisions based on the information that they have available to them. Though they don't truly need to that is my opinion.
I've been the first and formost person saying to ignore Batman connections when you can and maybe it's your AV but I ever realized until right now that KC was a black clad hero who could reasonably be described as a "Dark/Crow/Raven, Knight" I blame myself here (and your Shocker AV combine with your chosen handle) but. . .honestly I'm not sure what to do with this scene. . .feel free to bludgeon be about the head and shoulders though on this. It might be better if he chose his own name intentionally, or maybe if he'd been intending to call himself Crow, or Raven something that was a play on his name and then the Knight part was added because of something he did, you know maybe saving a girl who says "My knight in shining armor"
I'm not feeling the abandoned warehouse. Based on Havoc (the way I understand him so feel free tell me I didn't understand something) he's nanotech and being in an abandoned warehouse doesn't seem to offer him any strategic advantages. Maybe an abandoned factory would be better, lots of stuff for him to take over.
Here's another idea I just had.
A Murder of Crows: Some cosmic event draws several alternate reality versions of KC into the same reality. LOL. (Necrow, a vampiric KC. Mecha-crow, android made by Malc on one world where the real KC died prematurely. Tempest, Bethany using her nightmare powers for good, while wearing a similar suit to KC. Dire-Crow, a KC that was horribly transmutated by Dr. Taunt performing medical experiments on him, all bone spurred and feathered.)
