Storyline:
Before she can move forward, she must face everything she ran from.
Echo picks up after the events of Hawkeye (2021), following Maya Lopez, a deaf Native American woman and former enforcer for Wilson Fisk (Kingpin). After severing ties with Fisk in an act of rebellion and reckoning, Maya returns to her hometown in Oklahoma, where the echoes of her past grow louder.
There, she must confront buried pain, generational trauma, and cultural disconnect, while also navigating threats from her criminal past that refuse to let her go. Through her reconnection with family, heritage, and the teachings of her ancestors, Maya begins a transformational journey—from weapon to warrior.
With gritty fight sequences, intimate storytelling, and Indigenous representation at its core, Echo is a bold, grounded chapter in the Marvel universe, where power isn't just physical—it's personal.
