In the original Marvel comic books, The Defenders were made back in 1971 and their team was formed by three members: Doctor Strange, Namor, and the Incredible Hulk. Contrary to this, the Netflix series and more modern issues include Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. If given a little more time, we may have even seen Sam Wilson (as Captain America) and Valkyrie added to the list. We may have also seen Bullseye, an assassin who prides himself on his near-perfect accuracy, in Daredevil. He’s Daredevil’s nemesis in the comics.
Though the series has been canceled and is no longer available on Netflix, you can still find all of the films in the list above on Disney+.
