Guardian (TV series)

Guardian is an American web television series created for Netflix based on the DC Comics character of the same name. It is set within the DC Cinematic Universe, and shares continuity with the films of the franchise. The series focuses on Jim Harper, a police officer in Civic City who woke up in a laboratory five years before and discovered that he was a clone. Harper has been physically modified to have enhanced abilities, and he uses his skills to fight crime in Civic City as well as dig up all the secrets from his past.

Premise
Jim Harper is a detective in Civic City who has spent the last five years coming to terms with the fact that he is a clone. After Jim realizes that his city is controlled by crime, he decides to take on criminals that the police can't bring in.

Characters

 * James "Jim" Harper/Guardian- Jim Harper woke up in a laboratory five years before the start of the show, and had no idea how he got there. The only thing he knew was his name, and the name of the organization that created him—Cadmus. He now works as a detective in Civic City and soon takes up vigilantism to fight Warren White's crime empire. He takes the name "Guardian", based on the military codename of his original counterpart.
 * Malcolm "Mal" Duncan- Mal Duncan is Jim's detective partner and best friend. Jim and Mal investigate crimes together, which most of the time result in them being told they can't convict anyone. Contrary to Jim's adamant hatred for corruption, Mal is a bitmore neutral to the subject, as he does not like it but does not wish to interfere with it.
 * Artemis Brooks- Artemis Brooks is a fitness instructor in Civic City who is targeted by Warren White. She is one of the first people Jim saves as Guardian. Artemis and Jim become close friends, and eventually lovers. However, Jim will soon realize that Artemis has more secrets than he first realized.
 * Jason Bard- Jason Bard is a detective who transferred in from Gotham City. Jason has a limp and uses a cane due to injuries he developed on the job. Jason, like Jim, is adamantly against corruption and works with Jim to break down Warren White's crime empire. Jason is one of the first people to find out that Jim is Guardian.
 * Ted Grant- Ted Grant is the man who took Jim in when Jim was living on the streets. Grant is a veteran soldier and veteran boxer, and trains Jim in various combat techniques. Grant visits Civic City when he finds out that Jim has taken up vigilantism. It is soon found out that Grant has a connection to Jim's original counterpart.
 * Warren "Shark" White- Warren White is the crime kingpin of Civic City. He previously worked for Gotham crime lord Roman Sionis, but he struck out on his own after he felt like Sionis didn't respect him enough. White is very charismatic and charming, and pretends to just be an innocent businessman. He controls many of the cops in Civic City, which results in most crimes remaining unsolved. Despite White's friendly appearance most of the time, behind closed doors he is psychopathic and maniacal.
 * Lawrence Crock- Lawrence Crock is an assassin who uses sporting equipment (such as a hockey mask, javelin, and hammer) as gear and weapons. After Guillermo Barrera is brought in, Crock becomes Warren White's new head of security. Jim soon discovers that Crock is more connected to his situation than he could've ever imagined.
 * Guillermo Barrera/Brutale- Guillermo Barrera is a Corto Maltesean assassin who works as Warren White's head of security. Barrera is an expert in throwing knives, and severely injures Jim during their first fight. Barrera is also thought to be the man who killed the original Jim Harper.
 * Richard Tyler- Richard Tyler is a forensic scientist who works at the same precinct as Jim. Tyler helps Jim with some of his needs for his fight, such as bulletproof gear and a suit. Tyler is kind of quirky and awkward, and Jim frequently defends him from the cops who pick on him at the precinct.
 * Isabel Rochev- Isabel Rochev is a businesswoman who visits Civic City during an AmerTek convention, where she plans to purchase the company. Rochev is one of the first people Jim discovers to have a connection to Cadmus.
