🧠 Who Is Wonder Man? (Powers & Origin)

In Wonder Man (2026), Simon Williams starts as a down-on-his-luck actor in Hollywood — but things take a turn when his dormant superpowers begin to emerge. The trailer hints that he’s far more than just an aspiring star, bringing chaos and power to the screen. Screen Rant

🌀 Comic Book Powers (Inspiration)

In Marvel Comics, Wonder Man is known for:

Ionic Energy Transformation — giving him incredible strength and durability.
Superhuman Strength — rivaling other heavy hitters in the Marvel universe.
Enhanced Durability & Stamina — nearly impervious to harm.
These powers make him a formidable presence in both his civilian and hero life. Marvel

The MCU version seems to follow this archetype — though the trailer teases we’ll see these powers unfold over time. Hypebeast

🎭 Plot & Theme

Unlike typical superhero series, Wonder Man blends:

Superhero action
Behind-the-scenes Hollywood comedy
Character drama

Simon Williams is eager to land the role of Wonder Man in a big movie remake — but as his actual powers begin to reveal themselves, things get complicated both on and off the set. Marvel
