Roxxon causes trouble in Wonder Man and throughout MCU history

Wonder Manis a grounded story with little connection to the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and its best episode is even further removed from the sprawling multiverse. Episode 4, “Doorman,” is practically a surreal standalone short film about DeMarr Davis (Byron Bowers), a bouncer who gains a particularly weird superpower while taking out the trash in the early 2010s. While his origin story is mostly important because of how it impacts the acting career of Wonder Man protagonist Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), it also has ties to Roxxon – a corporation with deep roots in Marvel Comics and the MCU.
