The first episode of Marvel’s latest show, Wonder Man, drops viewers straight into footage from a fictional, in-universe Wonder Man movie. For fans of the 1970s tokusatsu TV show Kamen Rider, it probably looks familiar. The hero wears a jetpack and a Super Sentai–style suit reminiscent of his comic-book design, battling alien enemies that resemble the fictional terrorist group Shocker and its Combatmen troopers, with all the cheesy dialogue and action the Japanese series is known for.
