Mon-El Costume Change!

Some pictures have been leaked of Supergirl episode 314 and in it Mon-El is in a much more familiar costume and this Legion fan is pretty thrilled. Here is a link:

One of the things that strikes me is that I am honestly in a golden age of my fandom. If you asked me what are the two properties that have spanned my lifelong love of comics it would be Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes. Heck, I run a fan site for one and contribute to a fan site for the other!

And now I live in a time where Supergirl and the Legion are right there on screen.

While I didn't mind the black Legion stealth costumes that the members have sported on this show, this comic accurate costume is fantastic. Just embrace it. And I like the subtle S-Shield pentagon sewn into the shirt. Awesome.

I mean, this is Mon-El's costume. Sure, it is a clasp and not the big round buttons. And yes it isn't that shirt style with the belt. But all is well. Perfect is the enemy of the very good.

I have a true Mon-El on television. I can only hope that Saturn Girl and Brainiac 5 get similar upgrades.

And just a reminder that the first time we saw a Legion ring on the CW was on the Flash 2 years ago, on 2/9/16!  We saw a glimpse of it as Barry went through the breach. And then we saw it on Supergirl in Superman's Fortress.

This has been a long play and so far so good.
