The series' 10-episode first season is the latest blossoming of scripted TV adapted from the graphic novel by the same name published by Marvel Comics.The graphic novel is co created by Brian Michael Bendis
an iconic writer popularly known for his outstanding work on The Avengers, Dare Devil , Spider man and other amazing Marvel comic books that we all know and love! Powers premiered on March 10, 2015.The first two episodes of the series were written by Charlie Huston and directed by David Slade.The first three episodes were released on March 10, 2015 on the PlayStation Network.
"Powers" is set in a two-tier society where ordinary humans must coexist with a superior class who, thanks to random distribution, are endowed with any of a smorgasbord of superpowers.
Maintaining order among super-humans places a heavy burden on law enforcement. "Powers" focuses on a pair of homicide detectives, Christian Walker (Sharlto Copley) and Deena Pilgrim (Susan Heyward), who investigate cases involving those people of disruptive privilege known as Powers.
Such police work would be a challenging, often thankless assignment for anyone, but it's all the more so for Walker: He used to be a superstar superhero, with a super-bad-guy reputation adding spice to his renown. But then his powers went away.
Today, he's remembered, even jeered, for his bygone spandex-clad identity, Diamond, as he plods through his workdays as a standard-issue gumshoe.
"What's more heroic than 'I lost my super powers, but now I'm gonna speak for those who don't have them'?" asks Brian Michael Bendis, who co-created the "Powers" comic and is an executive producer of the series. "That's massively heroic - probably the most heroic thing he's ever done!".
