The superhero sitcom is modern television’s white whale. Many dramas have found a way to incorporate humor, like Amazon’s hit superhero series The Boys. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, comedy is best done either as a parody like in WandaVision, or with a full metatextual bent like in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. But the closest modern TV has come to fully embracing this niche subgenre was the 2017 NBC sitcom Powerless, which was unceremoniously canceled after only nine episodes.
