Part 5/11:
In a bizarre twist that diverged dramatically from her comic book origins, Maya’s powers are amplified by her ancestral lineage—specifically, her Native American foremothers—who empower her with a range of abilities akin to those seen in comic book universes like Marvel's "Taskmaster." Rather than maintaining her comic-based skills, the show introduced the idea that her ancestors have various powers, which she can tap into, share with other women, and use in combat. She becomes essentially a super-powered figure fighting alongside her female relatives, ultimately adopting a "girl boss" persona.
