Had this not been delayed by the writers' and actors' strikes, Wonder Man could well have been a trailblazer in the post-"superhero fatigue" discussion. (I put that within quotes because, to a dyed-in-the-wool comic book geek, there can be no such thing.)

Even now, a couple of years after the genre was (IMHO) unfairly lambasted by certain cinematic titans for being anti-cinematic, this show still ventures onto new ground where the Marvel Cinematic Universe is concerned.
