How Maya's Powers Became One of Echo's Biggest Mysteries
Maya Lopez goes home in Echo.
In the comics, there’s a reason why Maya Lopez is named “Echo.” It’s because her main superpower is the ability to copy and recreate any physical action she sees. An “echo,” if you must. But as we’ve seen on a previous Marvel Studios show, this Maya Lopez doesn’t have that power yet. Nor, do we think, will she get it at all. So what will her power be and how will she get it when she does?
That’s one of the more mysterious throughlines that weaves through Echo, the new Marvel Studios show debuting on Disney+ and Hulu on January 9. It’s not a mystery that Maya will have powers. Nor is it, after the show’s very first scene, a mystery where they come from. But how she herself will put all that together doesn’t happen immediately and io9 asked one of the show’s executive producers, Richie Palmer, about the decision process behind that choice. Watch a video below or read more after.

“It’s all, again, trying to stay true to life,” he said. “When you go home after not being home, especially if you’re Maya who lived in New York for 20 years and had this larger-than-life life with Kingpin ... I think that there’s a jarring feeling that a lot of us feel where it’s like, ‘Oh yeah, I haven’t felt this in a long time yet again.’ And because she’s Maya Lopez it takes a different spin.”
So basically, making the full reveal of Maya’s powers—which Freeland confirmed in another interview will not be comics-accurate—a more drawn-out experience was Marvel’s way of giving her a more personal, powerful origin story. One you can see yourself next week on Echo, which debuts January 9 on both Disney+ and Hulu.
