In tonight’s episode of Supergirl, titled “Crossfire,” James Olsen decides it’s time for him to become a superhero of his own. He comes to this decision after watching many of his friends, especially Superman and Supergirl, risk their lives over and over again to protect the innocent. Unlike them, though, Olsen doesn’t have any super-powers, but he won’t let that stop him from making the leap from sidekick to heroic masked-avenger.

And just now, The CW has released the very official stills from next Monday’s “Changing” episode, and they feature Olsen wearing his silver-and-black Guardian costume for the first time. Check out the preview images in our gallery at the bottom/top of the page.
