Can supercell storms happen without radar detection and no tornado formation?
Remember spotting those mothership storms when I was little.

No and yes. Supercells get far too tall not to be detected by weather radar. They can drop giant hail, rain, and tornadoes, and often do, but not all supercells will. Oftentimes, if they form too late in the day or run out of moist air to feed them, they break apart and dissipate.
