Photo of Adrianne Palicki in Her Mockingbird Suit from AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

Marvel has released a new promo photo from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it gives us our first look at Adrianne Palicki sporting her Mockingbird tactical suit. She also had blonde-ish hair in the photo, which is different from the first picture that we saw of her. 

The character was introduced as the head of Hydra Security in last night's episode, "A Hen in the Wolfhouse." Joss Whedon talked about the character in an interview with Marvel, saying,

"Bobbi Morse is a well-seasoned spy whose ability to slip in and out of undercover situations seamlessly will prove invaluable to our team. But her appearance comes as a gut-punch to Hunter, as the history they share is complicated to say the least."

Costume Designer Ann Foley explained how the suit design pays homage to the character's comic book origins. 

"I looked at all of her comic appearances and really wanted to try to bring elements of the look from the comics into the costume that we're doing now for the show because I know it's important to the fans. It's important to me to keep certain elements, but we had to change it, obviously, for practicality, because it had to fit into our world. It had to have a kind of tactical feeling to it too so that it made sense in our universe.

"She's got rivets that are in the straps across her chest, and those are there as a tribute to the buttons that go down the side of her [most recent] costume [in the comics], as well as the colors that we were using, [which] are a tribute as well. Her colors are navy blue and white with a little bit of black in there, [but] white would not have been pretty on camera so we changed it to grey. [We] still tried to maintain the original style of what was in the comic book because [with] that white panel that goes up her center and down her legs, [so] we've mirrored that in her costume but in gray instead of white."

I also included a piece of concept art that was released as well.
