We are about a month away from the premiere of Supergirl Season Four and the CW is starting to ratchet up the publicity. The latest has been a brief trailer called Supergirl American Alien on YouTube. Here is a link:

There is a nice voice over by Kara. Here it is:
Fear
No matter how much we believe in ourselves it never really goes away.
Well I think ‘I’m not afraid of anything’
Then something chases me back down the rabbit hole
But once we catch ourselves, we have to jump right back out there.
As the trailer plays out, it becomes clear that this is Kara talking to Nia Nal in CatCo. Is this a plot about Nia being transgender and afraid by opening up?
But this plays into Kara's character as well. We have seen her be overconfident on the show in the past. So she comes to this moment of mentoring honestly.
On to some screen shots!
As we open with the line about fear, we have a shot of Supergirl, clearly poisoned by Kryptonite, plummeting to Earth from high in the sky.
Last season, there was a big plot about Supergirl being deathly afraid of Kryptonite to the point of being angry at Lena. So opening with 'fear' and this green veined Supergirl is nice pairing. But where did the Kryptonite come from and who was able to expose her to it that high up?
And then we get a shot of the something that might make her afraid anew.
Look who it is!!!
It is our old friend The Hellgrammite!
We haven't seen him since episode two of season one!! Here is that review from way back:

I wondered if this meant that Alex didn't kill him in Season One, something I assumed happened when she stabbed him in the heart with a big talon.
So I reached out on Twitter to Supergirl writer Eric Carrasco.
Turns out it is *another* Hellgrammite.
Okay. That's sorted out.
Then we get a shot of Hellgrammite fighting the 'hooded Supergirl' at a fair of some sort. It looks like he is chucking hammers from those 'test of strength' things.
There seems to be a shot that mirrors Hela catching Thor's hammer from Ragnorok.
Maybe this suit is because Supergirl is still effected by the Green K from the opening shot and needs this for protection/healing/subterfuge?
We also get a shot of Mercy and Otis.

Is this Agent Liberty? Steel? Some other villain?
Who the heck is this?
I love a mystery!!
Can't wait!
