Wonder Man might be Marvel's most unique TV show yet. Its hero, Simon Williams, is also an actor in the comics, but beyond that, creators Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest have massively diverged from Wonder Man's arc in the source material.
There's no affiliation with the Avengers here, no big superhero fights to speak of. This Simon, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, just wants to succeed at acting. But in the fourth standalone episode, the writers give Simon a break between auditions to focus on another super-powered story instead, one that also feels unique but actually draws surprise inspiration from The Simpsons (of all places).
