Sydney Freeland said, “Her power in the comic books is that she can copy anything, any movement, any whatever. It’s kind of lame. I will say, that is not her power. I’ll just kind of leave it at that.”
More importantly, Freeland does not want Echo to be the kind of hero who just fights off the bad guys as an agent for a personal vendetta, instead, she expresses that it is about the family and the cohesiveness of the Native American culture.
