Part of the allure of seeing characters from the Marvel Universe come to life in live-action is watching how they are translated into a setting that is more grounded in reality than the art found in comic books. As a result, some characters can appear more diminished, but in certain instances, they can actually be empowered by the new medium. This applies to Maya Lopez in the new Echo television series. She has actually been empowered by the new series, gaining several new abilities that even her comic book self cannot lay claim to.Her comic counterpart is still a woman of exceptional talent, but unlike her MCU self, Echo does not possess half the abilities the live-action one does. During the show, it was revealed that, far from being an Olympic-level athlete, Maya Lopez actually possesses unique powers of her own. They stem from a form of ancestral evocation, or the ability to draw on the strength and skills of her ancestors. It has gifted Maya with a number of talents that are rife for exploration.However, where this version of Echo and her MCU version differs is that these talents belong to Echo alone. Her photographic reflexes are a talent she was born with and used to their full effect, becoming the impressive woman seen in the pages of comic books today. With that comes a level of vulnerabilities still intrinsic to being human. For example, she is susceptible to injury from standard weaponry such as guns or blades. Another example is that, due to being deaf, she relies almost entirely on visual cues to know how to act in any situation. Take that away, and her ability to defend herself is severely diminished.
