Famed defense attorney Perry Mason (Perry Mason) teams up with a prosecutor wrongly forced out of his job by corrupt politicians--Jack McCoy (Law & Order)--to form a private firm of their own dedicated to justice for those the system fails. They bring in as their first associates a small-time Southern attorney with a reputation for unpopular cases, Atticus Finch (To Kill A Mockingbird), and a slick New York City attorney known for fighting government corruption, Matt Murdock (Daredevil). Sensing that Mason & McCoy is attracting potentially dangerous attention, Murdock recruits a lateral hire from a corporate firm who can help him quietly handle any violent retaliation--Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk). The resulting show is an emotional legal procedural, with the intense courtroom conflict mirrored by the conflict in the streets.
Charles Xavier (X-Men) is winding down the Spring Term at his School for the Gifted, when his newest mutant--Claire Bennet (Heroes)--reveals a prior letter from Hogwarts School inviting her to enroll. In conversation with emissaries from Hogwarts, Xavier becomes intrigued by the idea of a "magic education" that could expand powers, while Hogwarts in turn is interested in Xavier's ability to develop inherent biological powers, given that magic appears to be inherited (even if from distant ancestors). Xavier and Claire are given three young Muggle-born pupils for a summer program: Hogwarts's brightest young student, Hermione Granger (Harry Potter); a very young but terribly precocious talent, Matilda Wormwood (Matilda); and a teenage genius whose prior school failed her magical training, Elphaba (Wicked). The result is a high-fantasy take on the X-Men, with some battles but more deliberate exploration of the capabilities and limitations of "magic" and other superhuman power in this world--and the ethical problems posed by same.
Tony Stark (The Avengers) is working on a simple wearable time travel device when he discovers a disturbance somewhere around 1740--that travel can't occur to that year, and the number of "untravelable years" is spreading further from that date. He reports this to government authorities, who decide to sent a two-man investigative team that pairs their best agent--Ethan Hunt (Mission Impossible)--with their most experienced time traveler--Agent J (Men in Black). Stark insists on going with them, and in 1740, they meet up with a man that appears to have information about witchcraft being used to provoke some kind of apocalypse--Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean). Once on their mission, they are joined at a pivotal point of danger by a man sent from the future government to protect them and ensure their success--the T-800 (Terminator 2). The result is an insane summer blockbuster mashup that plays with the tropes of each character in a manner both charming and bizarre.
