Supergirl Reveals First Look At New Female Guardian
Arrowverse fans know by now that it’s an unwritten rule that pretty much every supporting character on The CW’s roster of DC TV series has to become a superhero themselves at some point. Sure enough, before it bows out after its sixth season,
Supergirl is set to give a new identity to one of its few main cast members yet to get one. Yes, Azie Tesfai’s Kelly Olsen is due to suit up as Guardian, taking on the mantle once sported by her brother, James (

National City’s newest Guardian is coming. Azie Tesfai’s Kelly Olsen will be taking up the mantle from her brother in the back half of the final season of “Supergirl,” and she’s got a brand new look.
To refresh your memory: After James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) exited “Supergirl” in Season 5, fans immediately began hoping his sister Kelly would take the shield, having seen her briefly wield the weapon during “Crisis on Infinite Earths.” At the end of March, the “Supergirl” showrunners made it official, announcing that Tesfai would become Guardian in Season 6. This makes Kelly one-half of an official super couple, as her girlfriend Alex (Chyler Leigh) officially became Sentinel in the season premiere.
