What Is Marvel’s Echo About?

Echo, starring Alaqua Cox, holds a special place among other Marvel shows because of the fact that it’s the first-ever Marvel show to have a TV-MA rating, as it will be displaying a lot of brutality and exposing the ugly underbelly of an organized crime circuit. It is clear that Daredevil inspired the show in a big way.

It is a five-episode miniseries that sheds light on the life of Maya Lopez, first introduced in Marvel’s Hawkeye. The series delves into Maya Lopez’s past and present by exploring her connection with her ancestors, which grants her supernatural powers. The central focus is on the conflict between Maya and her adoptive uncle, Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, as she rekindles ties with her birth family.
