Wonder Man Spoilers: Who Is Doorman and What Happened to Him?

Note: This article contains spoilers for Marvel Television’s Wonder Man series.

The full episodes of Marvel Television’s Wonder Man have begun streaming on Disney+. Episode 4, ‘Doorman,’ introduces Byron Bowers as DeMarr Davis, a dimension-phasing former doorman whose fame sparks the ‘Doorman Clause.’

Episode four of Wonder Man is a largely standalone chapter that follows Demarr Davis (Bowers), a doorman at one of Los Angeles’ biggest nightclubs, whose professionalism even earns him a friendship with Hollywood A-lister Josh Gad.

After spotting toxic waste leaking from a Roxxon dumpster, DeMarr touches the substance and is transported to a strange, door-filled alternate dimension. He later awakens in his apartment, where he discovers he can phase objects through his body.

When a fire breaks out at the club the following night, DeMarr uses his newfound powers to save Josh Gad and the patrons, leading a grateful Gad to hire him as his personal bodyguard and earning him the nickname “Doorman” in the press.

Gad casts DeMarr in the film Cash Grab, which becomes a commercial success and elevates him to celebrity status. Over time, DeMarr’s fame and wealth decline, leading to alcoholism. During production on Cash Grab 2, an intoxicated DeMarr loses control of his powers, resulting in Gad becoming trapped within the dimension.

The consequences are severe: DeMarr is put under lifetime DODC surveillance, studios push through the “Doorman Clause” banning superheroes from Hollywood, and Simon is devastated when he sees the news while working on his crime drama.

Here’s the plot details for Wonder Man:

Aspiring Hollywood actor Simon Williams is struggling to get his career off the ground. During a chance meeting with Trevor Slattery, an actor whose biggest roles may be well behind him, Simon learns that legendary director Von Kovak is remaking the superhero film Wonder Man. The two actors, at opposite ends of their careers, doggedly pursue life-changing roles in the film as audiences get a peek behind the curtain of the entertainment industry.

The series was created by Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest, and produced by Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Jonathan Schwartz, Brad Winderbaum, Cretton, and Guest.

The series stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams/Wonder Man, alongside Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery, Demetrius Grosse as Eric Williams/Grim Reaper, Ed Harris as Neal Saroyan, Arian Moayed as P. Cleary, Zlatko Burić as Von Kovak, and Béchir Sylvain as Sanford Williams.
