‘Legends of Tomorrow’: Is This Our First Look at Zari’s Costume?

It’s Halloween and even on Legends of Tomorrow that means it’s a great time for costumes, and that includes the team’s newest member, Zari.

Spoilers for tonight’s episode of Legends of Tomorrow, “Phone Home”, below.

At the end of tonight’s episode, the Legends accompany young Ray Palmer out trick or treating. Little Ray dresses up as The Atom and when the neighborhood bullies decide to give him trouble, the Legends reveal themselves, each in full heroic costume including Zari. The newly-minted Legend is seen in a white costume with gold accents and she doesn’t appear to be comfortable in it, asking Amaya how they fight in these costumes.

With Zari being the Arrowverse’s take on the DC hero Isis, the white costume with the vaguely Egyptian accents is very in keeping with what the “Andrea Thomas” incarnation of the character wore on The Secrets of Isis which could indicate that this isn’t just a Halloween costume Zari is donning to make little Ray’s holiday. This very well could be a glimpse at Zari’s heroic costume, even if she doesn’t have the Isis codename. Another indication that this is her heroic look? The neckline is very similar to what the character is seen wearing on the “Crisis on Earth X” crossover poster.

The costume in tonight’s episode also has elements of the 52 version of the character’s outfit as well, specifically the belt. The largest difference between tonight’s costume and the one the character wore in comics is the modesty level. In comics, Isis wore a very short skirt and revealing halter-style top while Zari’s costume tonight looks more like a pantsuit with tunic top and cape elements, far more modest and fitting for the Muslim character.

Zari getting a costume means that the future hacktivist is now fully a part of the team, complete with a heroic identity. But will she be wearing this costume in the field or is she going to be sticking to her much more comfortable street clothes unless absolutely necessary? Fans will just have to keep tuning into Legends of Tomorrow to find out.

Legends of Tomorrow airs Tuesdays at 9/7c after The Flash on The CW.
