For the longest time, Marvel has almost singularly fixated on heroes and villains that have it all. Thanos has his army and multi-dimensional prowess. Iron Man has his technology and money, a privilege Peter Parker gets to enjoy at the slightest inconvenience. Of course, there are a lot of tragic backstories, but it’s always met with funny banter and a new suit that can kill for you or a magic sorcerer at your disposal.
Echo brings in a new era of protagonists to root (or not root) for. Let’s be clear — Maya is more villain than hero, apparent from her interaction with Hawkeye. But like with Venom, she’s one you will root for.
