On Tuesday night’s episode of Supergirl, “Blind Spots”, Kelly Olsen officially became the superhero Guardian, picking up the mantle left behind by her brother, James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) after he left National City. The episode, co-written by Azie Tesfai who plays Kelly on Supergirl, saw the newly-minted hero step up for the people most in need of one: the underserved and largely minority community left devastated when Nyxly (Peta Sergeant) caused the collapse of the Ormfell building. Now, to mark the hero’s debut, The CW has released a new poster of Kelly in her Guardian suit. In the new poster, Kelly isn’t wearing the new Guardian helmet, but she is wearing her black and gold themed super suit and for a character whose super identity and civilian identity both share the power of compassion, it’s a perfect way to celebrate and represent the newest official member of the Super Friends.
