The Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Echo is a bit confounding. The creators of this TV mini-series openly disparaged the comic book version, who is already not a particularly well-known character. The comics version was already a bi-racial (First Nations/Hispanic) deaf woman, yet they chose to cast a performer with a prosthetic leg too, which seems like cluttering her up with attributes instead of honing her character. But Vincent D'Onofrio reprised his performance as the Kingpin and for some reason Graham Greene is present to supply comic relief so the series itself wasn't a total waste of time.
Below are the comics creators whose work I noticed being represented on the Disney+ series Echo. If you saw something I missed, please let me know! My full list of Marvel Cinematic Universe creators is found here!
