When Marvel began producing shows for Disney+, it took some big swings, succeeding with hits such as WandaVision and Loki, but also had some significant misses, like Secret Invasion. One of those disappointing misfires was Moon Knight, which wasn’t the exciting series that fans had envisioned. However, after two seasons, Daredevil: Born Again offers the perfect blueprint for Marvel Television to take another shot at Moon Knight in a similar format.

When Disney+ first launched, executives were hesitant about putting any programming that wasn’t family-friendly on the streaming service, limiting content to a PG-13 rating at most. However, that all changed when the Netflix-era Marvel television shows were finally added to Disney+ in 2022. Although Marvel’s Netflix franchise originally concluded with The Punisher Season 2 in 2019, its inclusion on Disney+ ultimately led to Daredevil’s return in a new revival series, Daredevil: Born Again, which faithfully continued the Netflix legacy of darker, TV-MA-rated shows. The first season, which saw all the major cast members of the original series reprising their roles, proved to be a success, both critically and with viewers.

Four powers, and four completely different kinds of person behind them. Here is what you would wake up with, what it would cost you, and why the MCU keeps handing it to somebody exactly like you.

You get the power that is really about taking the hit so that nobody else has to. Strength in the MCU always lands on people who were already carrying too much, which is exactly why it suits you.

You get the power that never switches off. Spider-sense is a gift and a nervous system on permanent alert, and the people who get it in these films are always the ones who were already worrying about everybody.

You get the quietest power in the building, and quietly the most useful. Invisibility comes with force fields for a reason, because the people who prefer not to be seen are usually the ones holding a shield around everybody else.

You get the biggest and least comfortable power on the list, the one that runs directly on feeling. Chaos magic is not really a superpower in the MCU so much as an emotional state with consequences attached.

Daredevil: Born Again perfected Marvel’s new television model, proving that shows comparable to the ones that saw great success on Netflix, such as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, could perform on Disney+. Comic readers may recall that in the late 1990s, Marvel Comics launched a new imprint titled Marvel Knights. These edgier, street-level stories were still set in the main Marvel 616 continuity, but they were more self-contained narratives rather than being connected to major events. With Daredevil: Born Again serving as proof that the Marvel Knights formula can work on-screen, the door is open for more revivals to follow suit.
