Created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Don Heck in 1964, Wonder Man debuted in The Avengers #9. Simon Williams was initially introduced as a villain with ionic powers. Eventually, the character was reformed and even went on to join the Avengers. In the comics, it was also Wonder Man, whose brain pattern was copied to create the mental template for Vision.

Cretton, who directed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, will executive produce the series, while Guest (Community and Brooklyn Nine-Nine) will serve as head writer. The project is part of Cretton’s overall deal with Marvel Studios he signed after Shang-Chi.
