One of the biggest mysteries from the Supergirl Season 4 trailer was the appearance of an armored woman in S-shield armor.
Is it Supergirl?
Why is she wearing armor?
Is this protecting her from something?
If it isn't Supergirl, who is this woman?
Is she a hero? Or a villain?
Is someone co-opting the S-shield for their own purposes? Is this Angel Parker-Jones' character Colonel Haley working for Agent Liberty?
There is nothing quite like a mystery to stoke the fires of anticipation!
Now on line we have seen the outfit in the day. It's brighter than I thought!
So who is this? Or why is Supergirl wearing this?
Here are my early thoughts!
The first answer is the easiest one.
It is Supergirl. She is wearing it for some reason. But it is being worn because Melissa Benoist is still on Broadway. While Melissa is Carole King, someone else is in the suit.
So if it is Supergirl, why the armor?
As a fan of the Legion and knowing that Brainiac 5 is on the show, I would love this to somehow tie into Wildfire. Maybe Supergirl is super-charged from Lena's Harun-El, crackling with energy, and needs to be in a containment suit.
There is no denying the suits look similar. So that would be my best and most favorite guess.
It also reminded me of the suits Superman occasionally wore on Superman:The Animated Series.
In particular, the one on the left, reminds me of the show's suit. This was a lead-based suit which allowed Superman to battle Metallo. Perhaps, there is an influx of Kryptonite on the streets, or again exposure to Harun-El could harm Supergirl so she has to put on a suit to protect her from the environment.
But what if it isn't Supergirl? Who could it be?
The obvious answer is that it is Lena inside the suit.
It certainly looks like the Luthor armor we have seen Lex wearing in the last few years in the Superman books. Heck, he even sported the S-Shield himself.
I can see Lena, sick of Supergirl, trying to take Kara's place as the hero of National City. That is a very Lex move and would nudge Lena more to the evil side of things.
If we are going to get wacky thought, why not make it another her stepping in as Supergirl while the real Kara is away? Maybe Alura?
The armor reminded me very much of the 'masked Superman' in Forever Evil (here is a link:

Now doubt the show's armor looks like this. Now the 'masked Superman' was actually Captain Marvel. Can you imagine if this was how the CW introduced Mary Marvel?? I doubt it is Mary. But Alura? Or Thara? Maybe Kara is on Argo and she asks for someone to step in for her so villains don't descend on National City?
What do you think?
