Mockingbird live-action series coming to ABC Family

[Specter313]

Marvel’s fledgling television division has added one more live-action series to a development slate that already boasts Hulk, Cloak & Dagger and AKA Jessica Jones.

Head of Television Jeph Loeb announced this afternoon at Comic-Con International in San Diego that Mockingbird is in the works for corporate sibling ABC Family, depicting Marvel comics character Bobbi Morse as “a Peter Parker nerd” recruited as a spy by a secret organization. He described the premise as “Alias meets Felicity.”

In the comics, Mockingbird is a scientist turned S.H.I.E.L.D. agent turned Avenger. She’s an expert hand-to-hand combatant with a PhD in biology who’s trained in a variety of weapons, but is partial to using a pair of batons.

Good to see Mockingbird getting some love. I hope she eventually makes it into a movie. However, the premise of Alias meets Felicity doesn't make any sense. Felicity IS the inspiration for Alias. JJ Abrams' initial premise for Alias was "what if Felicity were to become a spy?" so comparing it to "Alias meets Felicity" is no comparison at all, as it's like saying "Alias meets Alias".
