The
Powers pilot/show has been in long development, recent tweets though from Brian Michael Bendis has indicated the project has been gaining steam at FX.
According to
Vulture:
"FX execs are said to be very high on Powers (a pilot order seems quite likely), and thanks to his Shield work, Eglee is someone the network and studio know quite well."
News was first reported by the site Vulture and then confirmed by IGN.
IGN quoted out of Bendis:
“All I can say is he is helping get Powers on the air in a big, big way.”
Powers is set in a world where superpowers are relatively common but not mundane. It follows the lives of two detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, police officers in a Homicide department devoted to cases that involve "powers" (people with superpowers). Walker himself used to be a costumed superhero named Diamond, but became a police officer after he lost his abilities. Though stripped of his powers, he still retains his contacts within the superhero community, even becoming engaged to an ex-colleague, who is later killed.
