On the television series’ own Twitter account, the network debuted an official poster teasing Mon-El’s Legion of Super-Heroes look. With his very own Legion flight ring in tow, we can see that Chris Wood’s Mon-El will be sporting a costume that is much different than his comic book counterpart, albeit one that fits in with the aesthetic established on the series.

In the comics, Mon-El is known to wear a costume similar to Superman’s, but with the colors inverted. His outfit is predominated by red with a blue cape, and a much smaller “S” crest on the left side of his chest. For the television series, it looks like Mon-El will be wearing a suit heavy on the dark blues, with only hints of red and gold on the chest portion. However, from what little we can see of the costume, it looks like the superhero will sport the Kryptonian House of El logo in a bigger fashion — or at least the outline of it.

A recent promo for the return of Supergirl teased an appearance from the Legion, who have been teased ever since the series’ first season. Now, it seems like the superhero team will have a very large presence for the back half of Season 3.
Returning Monday, Jan. 15 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW, Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist as the Girl of Steel, David Harewood as Martian Manhunter, Mehcad Brooks as Jimmy Olsen, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers and Jeremy Jordan as Winn Schott, with appearances by Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant and Tyler Hoechlin as Superman.
