Supergirl Season 2 has been surprisingly upfront with its decision to introduce Mehcad Brooks’ James Olsen as a new incarnation of DC’s Guardian, quickly debuting the costume as well. Now, new looks at an upcoming November episode reveal not only the full Guardian costume in practice, but also the human alter-ego of a very parasitic known Superman villain.

The CW released the first official photos for November 14 episode “Changing,” as Olsen secretly steps in to fill the void left by Supergirl’s diminished powers. Worth noting, William Mapother plays the role of Dr. Rudy Jones (Parasite), while the photos and synopsis, definitely support Alex fans shipping her and Maggie Sawyer.

THE GUARDIAN DEBUTS IN NATIONAL CITY – The Guardian debuts to lend a hand after a parasite alien drains Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) of her power. Mon-El (Chris Wood) considers a less than desirable new career which then leads him to contemplate his motives. Alex (Chyler Leigh) struggles with a new reality.

You can check out the full set of photos above, and stay tuned fore more on Supergirl’s Guardian debut.
