TV network The CW has announced plans for a series based (loosely, I might add) on the Street and Smith pulp The Avenger.
According to a story at Deadline: Hollywood, the proposed series centers on Alice Benson, who thanks to “genetic bio-hacking” allows her to alter her appearance.
I’ve always thought that The Avenger would be one of the best candidates for updating as a TV series. I don’t have a problem changing Richard Benson to Alice Benson. But, as it always seems, who needs to use the original story when you can just turn it into whatever you want (a “biopunk version,” in this instance).
Hat-tip to Fred Kuentz.
