Question about powers

Thought the show was pretty great and enjoyable overall, however I was wondering about some things.

>! How did he get his powers? how did doorman get his? is he on the level with Sentry? !<

Having no knowledge of this character before the show's announcement, I thought that he would >! get the powers of the fictional movie character while playing the role; how that would've happened idk but thought that's how it was gonna go. !<

>! With the reveal that he already had powers I thought maybe he was a mutant, since they're finally being introduced proper, but that doesn't seem the case either. Did a quick wiki look up and it seems he got his powers from Zemo? Do you think that'll be the case with his MCU adaptation as well? !<

It's interesting to me too as well that even with him knowing >! he has powers, he chooses to live a 'normal' life. Got me wondering how many other characters in the MCU are sleeper supes like that, or if he's just an exception. !<

I’m pretty sure Simon is a mutant in this continuity.

It’s kind of implied, but it could also be argued that it could be implied he was in contact with something from Roxxon like Doorman. It’s left up in the air on purpose.

They’ve been very coy about if he’s a mutant or not, my guess if they’re holding that back until we get Doomsday

Highly doubt he’s going to be in Doomsday

GolemMaker2026-02-02 20:57

I meant more than they will use doomsday to bring Mutants into MCU fully

Mutants are already in the MCU.

If its not in the show, how is anyone of us supposed to answer those questions.

Speculation my dear friend

Your questions don't have answers at the moment (other than Doorman getting his powers from the Roxxon goo).

Etticos2026-02-02 20:54

I wish I could get my hands on some Roxxon goo. You think ExxonMobil’s got goo?

Doorman touched that Slime thing

He is a mutant, as his powers manifested during adolescence in a high-stress event. (the kitchen fire) It's just not being outright said in-universe right now as mutants aren't called mutants yet. MCU version is different, and the Zemo that gave Wonder Man powers is a different Zemo.

The Doorman got his powers by touching the spooky darkforce sludge and it made him similar to Cloak. The guy he disappeared got sent to the darkforce dimension and I don't know what that entails but I assume he's basically in super hell.

Poor Josh Gad lmao

I got really excited and thought he was Cloak for a minute until seeing how he received his powers. As a Hulu show, though, I don’t have much hope for seeing them again.

He is more than likely a mutant they just don’t like using that term just yet but all evidence points to that. As for power level. He can box sentry but he will lose but would put up a much better fight than the thunderbolts did anyway. He was in the comics stated to have sentry level strength but I do believe he would lose that 1v1

thedudeabides20222026-02-02 21:02

The flashback scene seemed to imply his powers were discovered when he was 13, right around mutant discovery age, so, he’s probably a mutant, at least that’s what the writing seems to be alluding to
