When Supergirlreturns in a few weeks , Kara ’s get some extra friend in the form of the Legion of Superheroes , the iconic future - set squad from the comics . Among the Legion submarine sandwich appearing is Jesse Rath ’s Brainiac-5 , who we ’ve ultimately receive a spirit at in costume … and something ’s kinda off .
Brainiac-5 makes his brief debut in this extended trailer for Supergirl ’s midseason premiere , ably entitle “ The Legion of Superheroes . ” Kara ’s still in her coma following the event ofher battle with Reign , demand the Legion — in the pattern of Braniac-5 , Mon - El , and Saturn Girl — to don their flight rings and protect National City . Check it out below .
But … we need to spill the beans about how rough this take on Brainiac-5 is . Supergirl ’s premature Brainiac - adjacent character , season one ’s Indigo , didn’t look expectant either , but Rath ’s makeup here just depend frightful . And also , he looks nothing like theBrainiac-5 of the comics . For reference , here ’s a side - by - side of Rath and his risible counterpart , to compare to the image up top .
After a decidedly mixed chemical reaction reach the internet overnight , Rath himself stepped in to offer Bob Hope , saying that he gets better looking as the episode progresses . Whether that means a costume alteration or something else remains to be determine , but it ’s probably not run to be a ultra change in the character ’s makeup .
I get well looking throughout the instalment . I promise … Just wait till I start talking . I ’ll grow on you . 😉 # supergirl#brainiac5

look comics - faithful matters less than looking good , period — although the series ’ change of the green - skinned Coluans into bluish aliens will always be a small weird — but this version of Braniac-5 is neither . This might stand as one of the CW ’s weirdest adaptations of a DC character . Supergirl returns January 16 .
