ECHO: New Details Emerge On The Title Character's New Superpowers And A Big Kingpin Flashback Scene

Some new details about Echo have emerged ahead of the show’s Disney+ debut this November, including Maya Lopez’s newfound superpowers and plans for a flashback featuring Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk.

We recently learned that Marvel Studios will release all episodes (we still don't know how many there will be) of Echo on November 29. It's a new approach to MCU content on Disney+, and potentially Bob Iger's way of seeing what these shows actually do for the streamer's subscriber count. 

It remains to be seen how important Echo is to the wider MCU, but some new story details have found their way online today. 

According to a reliable social media scooper, Maya Lopez will have superpowers and is set to unleash them through tattoos that manifest on her hands. On the page, Echo had no extra abilities before being bonded with the Phoenix Force, and that's something the show appears to be pulling inspiration from.

However, the live-action of Maya will make use of powers that are tied to her Choktaw ancestors. 

In related news, it's also said that one of Echo's flashbacks will revolve around Wilson Fisk offering Maya some advice following the death of her father at Ronin's hands. This is a good reminder that The Kingpin survived The Blip and likely used that time to consolidate his power in New York City.

As for whether Daredevil was among those blipped, that remains to be seen. 

The origin story of Echo revisits Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox), whose ruthless behaviour in New York City catches up with her in her hometown. She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots and embrace the meaning of family and community if she ever hopes to move forward.

As noted, all episodes of Echo will premiere on Disney+ on November 29.

@Origame - You know they will market the Hell out of the daredevil cameo just like She Hulk did.

So are they introducing the dark phoenix in this series?
Or are they just making everyone have cosmic powers now?

@S8R8M - neither , they’re just changing the source of her powers probably also changing what they are

Did she have powers in the comics? Was she a mutant?

@tb86 - the article you’re asking this question on answers it

@Cap1 - But the article is wring because Echo did have powers in the comics. She has the same power as Taskmaster. She's able to watch someone perform a physical action and copy it.

In fact, in her first appearance when she was training to go fight Daredevil, her training consisted of watching old Kung Fu movies likes Zatoichi The Blind Swordsman and Enter the Dragon.

@tb86 - She did have powers in the comics. This article is wrong when it says she didn't.

She has the same powers as Taskmaster. She can perfectly mimic any physical action she sees.

Translation: She’s a boring character about whom nobody cares so now we have to force in some mystical powers with no explanation and hope that will people want to watch our show.

I am going to watch this because the character interests me even though most of the D+ shows have sucked.

My question is how long to we get to enjoy Daredevil in the MCU before they turn him into a young chick and/or black?

Oh, and will Kate Bishop show up?

No she shouldn’t have powers. Actually be creative and show her kick ass while being deaf.

@MartianManHuntr -I remember him and always thought there was a connection the more we heard about Echo. But I think they're either not linked in any way or that character was created specifically for the film.

Echo could turn out to be a surprise and the number of heroes that there are out there that draw their powers from ink in mainstream media are very few. And the actress carried herself well enough in Hawkeye so it deserves a chance.
