Wonder Man - Self-Tape / Pacoima
In a show that continues to be more about acting than super-heroes, Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley) continues to get close to Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) while on the lookout for any dangerous powers. We get Trevor helping Simon with an audition tape, leading to a fun cameo from Joe Pantoliano, and tagging along to the birthday party of Simon's mother (Shola Adewusi) where he gets a better understanding of his new friend's backstory and witnesses Simon's powers triggered by family drama.
The episodes also provide more context to Damage Control, their recruitment of Trevor, and the big corporation bottom line needing to fill a super-human prison to meet the expectations of the government or risk losing funding. In this short sequences we see that it doesn't matter if Damage Control thinks Simon is dangerous. The need him to be dangerous, and they need Trevor to give them cause to lock him up. Even with the explanation, it's still quite an overelaborate scenario. However, it's an interesting take on private prisons taken to the next level within the MCU (but you have to wonder with all the super-powered characters in Marvel Comics why they have found so few?).
