However, Matt Murdock is killed, and even though Frank successfully avenges him, it won't bring him back. And while Logan manages to kill Eric and take back his life, he's likely going to be a fugitive for the rest of his days]].

See also ''ComicBook/BulletPoints'' for a series that similarly turns the MarvelUniverse on its head, and as such, for example, in Italy got reprinted together with Powerless in a single book. The ''ComicBook/MarvelNoir'' books also tread a lot of the same ground but transfer the setting to the 1930s.

* CrapsackWorld: This series shows ''very well'' what living in the same city where either Osborn or Fisk, in a real world without superpowers, is like. But with this being the MarvelUniverse, this is a given.

Not surprising since the title is "Powerless".


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** The prototype Iron Man is much more in line with real-world modern military technology, as it lacks the ability to fly or fire repulsor blasts. It also apparently isn't powered by an arc reactor, meaning it'd likely have a much shorter battery life before shutting down.
** The spider bite that gave Peter incredible superpowers in the original comics just made him sick and disfigured his arm in this version.
** Matt Murdock isn't a BadassNormal ninja vigilante with SuperSenses, but just a normal blind man. He actually stumbles and trips during his first appearance, something that would ''never'' happen to the mainstream Matt Murdock. [[spoiler: When he is finally confronted by the Kingpin at the end, he's beaten to death rather easily.]]

* TheCameo: Issue #5 has Creator/BrianMichaelBendis (or a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version thereof) talking to Dr. Watts about the ideas for a comic he wants to write-- "... this one idea called Jinx that I've had in my head forever..."
