Does Echo have powers in the comics?
In the comics, Echo, the character played by Alaqua Cox in the Disney+ series “Echo”, has the ability to imitate anyone’s fighting style with great precision. This means that she can copy the moves of characters like Captain America or Black Widow and, once she learns these skills, they stay with her for future fights. This power is similar to Marvel villain Taskmaster, who appeared in the 2021 film “Black Widow.”
However, the Disney+ series takes a different approach to Echo’s powers. Instead of echoing the abilities of others, the show gives Maya Lopez a unique power tied to her Choctaw heritage. In the series, Maya’s powers are gradually revealed. She has visions of her ancestors and her abilities, and discovers that they echo her. During the climax of the series, it becomes clear that Maya can heal others by touching them. In a powerful moment, she dives into the Kingpin’s mind, taking away much of his anger and emotional trauma.
Additionally, Maya’s athletic abilities are enhanced due to her connection to her ancestors, making her a formidable fighter. The series shows her journey to discover and embrace these powers, which differ from her comic book counterpart.

After the events of “Hawkeye” (2021), “Echo” continues the story with Maya López finding herself in trouble with Wilson Fisk’s organization. To escape danger, she returns to her hometown in Oklahoma. The series, available on Disney+ and Hulu from January 9, 2024, consists of five episodes and is directed by Sydney Freeland. Marion Dayre and Amy Rardin wrote the story, focusing on Maya’s past.
The plot delves into Maya’s childhood, where she had to deal with deafness, and the murder of her father at the hands of the Kingpin, which led her to become a vigilante. Returning to her roots, Maya faces family complexities and personal betrayals within the criminal world. “Echo” goes beyond typical superhero themes, defying expectations and shining a light on communities that are often overlooked.
Zahn McClarnon reprises the role of Wilson Fisk, adding depth to the character. The series is more than just a superhero story; is a character-driven drama that explores themes of trauma, resilience and self-discovery in the context of indigenous Mayan heritage.
Explanation of the end of the echo
The ending of “Echo” is really moving. Maya López, after discovering that Wilson Fisk was responsible for her father’s death, bravely confronts him. She refuses to accept his criminal plans. The big showdown occurs in Oklahoma, where Maya uses her special healing powers, linked to her Choctaw heritage, to make Fisk confront her own painful past. At the same time, Maya reunites with her estranged family and finds solace and peace.
The series emphasizes that Maya embraces her cultural roots, shown through her Choctaw-inspired prosthetic leg and traditional indigenous clothing. The finale shows Maya’s journey from a conflicted person torn between crime and family to someone who fully embraces her heritage and says no to Fisk’s dark path.
Although Fisk survives, a scene during the credits hints that he might run for mayor of New York, following the comics. This creates potential conflicts and aligns with the producer’s idea that Fisk is the “Thanos of the street” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The finale is a heartfelt conclusion to Maya’s personal and cultural growth, while also paving the way for great things in the street stories of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
