There may be a ton of comic book characters on TV right now, but time for a truth bomb: none of them can hold a candle to Marvel’s newest hero, Peggy Carter ( Hayley Atwell ). ABC’s new series
Marvel’s Agent Carter premieres tonight, and you better not write it off as yet another comic book show or we’ll sick Carter on you. This prequel series to the Captain America movies and the network’s other Marvel series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., is everything you want in TV and in movies: A strong, fierce, capable and realistic female hero, without any superpowers other than her wit and her training. “I’m excited for everyone to see her vulnerability and her humor more than anything else,” Atwell tells E! News. “She really is a three-dimensional character with real flaws that people can relate to. She’s going to be humanized.”
