I mean he could still be Reader with a completely different powerset and different origin, but that begs the question of why would they tell him to include the character and then make him completely different except for the blind thing?

His role seems to be the same; To search for and guide newly-transformed Inhumans.

Soule might just have been told "eyeless dude guides noobs, work it in", and he came up with a much cooler, and impractical for TV concept.

Isn't the reader the kid who created the Ms Marvel Pirate universe in her 2000s series?

So if this Reader guy reads the Bible does the world flood? Does it revert back to pre-creation? Does he create God if God didn't exist already?

I wanna know more about that, sounds like an interesting power that has to be artificially bound somehow...

Yes, it's not limitless. He carries braille plates around on his belt with certain words or power concepts on them to use in any given situation. He can only do three different things before his power is gone. And each of the three times he can do it he gets progressively weaker. He recharges by sleeping. He's one of several new characters that are really interesting like Iso and Frank McGee (he's the best) that Soule has created in Inhuman.

It's still so weird to me that they're doing a big Inhumans arc. Not just because the film is still years away, because the pertinent source material is no more than a year and a half old. But I do hope it works.

I doubt the Inhumans will sit idle. They could be a part of Guardians or Capt Marvel.

At least 99% of all Inhumans stories prior to fall 2013 are about Attilan and/or the Royal Family characters, so unless you're expecting to see those on SHIELD before the 2019 film, they're not particularly pertinent.

It's really only with Inhumanity that they've even attempted to develop any sort of Inhumans mythos that isn't entirely centered around those two things.

And the boots that may have been intended by the designer (Lee?) to have knee-pad-y parts, but literally everyone else has seen, drawn and coloured as having absurd gaps.

The TV outfit is pretty good. I'd say it's a bit dark, but all the DC live-action outfits are dark, so it's not exactly the Supergirl designer's fault.

I think it might actually be that the upwards pointing parts are part of the pants design, and just the rest of the red is boots.



TV: It's also a darkened photo so it's hard to say how it will look on TV.

I really like the leggings. More class than I expected.

Would have liked a high collar, though. That comic version a few posts ago is terrible, but I love my Superpeople high collared like that.

It just seems so plain overall, but I'll take that over how DC designs most of their heroines. That skirt feels really old fashioned though.

I think they're just tights/hose, not actual leggings. Unless she's a 14 year old girl from when I was in school, where skirts over leggings and jeans was the poo poo.

It's just the classic Supergirl costume with leggings. DC did design it.

Yeah, they used the tried and true design for a reason. That reason is that it's a good design.

Looks fine to me. Not sure about the lack of yellow in the emblem, but I guess that's just what I'm accustomed to. There's no harm in trying something different.

True enough. Though I think if you look closely at Wells's future newspaper in the pilot episode, he seems to be wearing the bright red costume with the white background on his chest insignia.

As far as I'm concerned as long as a costume isn't agressively bad it's fine. This is what we used to have to deal with

BE GRATEFUL.

Colors are darkened because irl people wearing tight bright colors look loving ridiculous.
