Marvel Comics Heroine, Jessica Jones, may be ABC's new series star


Jessica Jones from Alias and The Avengers may be getting her own show on ABC.
Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg adapting a TV series called AKA Jessica Jones, based on the gritty, sarcastic comic book detective.

Jessica, under the superhero name is Jewel, had a short-lived superhero career that ended in horror. She was kidnapped via mind control by one Zebediah Killgrave for 8 months. During this time she was forced to strip and watch him rape other women (also under his mind control). Jessica eventually escapes and is promptly beaten into a coma by the Avengers she was ordered to attack while mind-controlled. Once she's safe from Killgrave, Jessica quits the superhero lifestyle and decides to fight crime by opening up her own detective agency.
Melissa likes the character because she a bit flawed. I also like that about Jessica as well. Her character is quite interesting, so if Melissa and ABC do it right, this show could be good.

That's a bit dark of an origin for ABC. no, Ordinary Family, Hulk, and Alias, i doubt ABC will have 3 super hero shows.
