Well it is kind of forshadowed in Season 1 by James wanting to be his own man. He realized in some episodes of the first season that he just moved from Superman's shadow to Supergirl's shadow. He was fine with this until in Season 2, criminals with alien weapons hurt him and made him feel helpless. He decided that he is no longer sitting on the sidelines and became Guardian. It is very similar to Mr. Terrific's origin in a way.
