    This is Disney Marvel so Simon is going to be a buffoon with a savvy girl assistant who is the real hero and by the final episode will get superpowers of her own.

    I’ve always said that Wonderman has never looked as powerful as when he was in his original costume. He just looked like a total powerhouse. It’s a shame that we are unlikely to see him wearing it ever again.

    I have always said the same thing as well!

    I could see he wearing an over the top super outfit in flashbacks-- similar in concept to his original comics costume, but not so over the top. Then for current time when he's only a part-time hero and part-time actor -- going with something less showy. On the other hand, I'd think an actor would want something showy for publicity.

    If they lose the origin where he turns on the Masters of Evil and 'dies' in the process, they will be losing a lot. If they are just going for yucks, I guess they'll downplay the drama. May be interesting to see Greer Grant as a lab assistant who tinkers with the equipment that gave Simon his powers in order to get her own powers. That could be followed up with a Cat/Tigra series.

    I think he'll still get his powers from a shady group without outright being a villain.

    Yeah, I like this best for on-screen.

    I could see this happening, however, I can also see them ignoring the industrialist struggling to keep his business afloat and simply going with the vain actor looking to improve his resumé. It'll be "funnier", and Disney Marvel always goes with what is "funnier" (read the inbetween quotes with heavy dose of sarcasm).

    Peace

    This.

    I really wish HBOMax was doing this show instead of D+. A Wonder Man show in the same vein as Peacemaker with a dash of Titans could be amazing!

    Me too. One of the best designs in comic book history (IMHO):

    Yeah, those issues not only had great stories, but really showed us just how powerful our Man of Wonders really was!

    Was Simon's original design by Kirby or by Don Heck? Does anybody know?

    Don Heck drew Simon's debut in Avengers #9, but I'm not sure if he was using a Kirby design or not...

    Here's a new article from the main page. It's surprisingly... not completely awful.
