“Supergirl” is set to introduce National City’s newest superhero.
James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) will take on the mantle of Guardian, the vigilante taken from the pages of DC comic books, and the first photo of him has been released.
Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg revealed James’ new alter ego to reporters after a screening of a future “Supergirl” episode Tuesday.
“James is going to decide that he can no longer sit back and be a sidekick, so he’s going to decide to become a vigilante,” Kreisberg said. “He’s going to become Guardian, complete with the shield — which is going to cause a massive problem in his relationship with Kara, because he has decided not to tell her.”
