Superhero series that you can watch without having to know the entire universe behind the characters

Over the years both Marvel and DC have managed to build their universes of stories on the big screen and also on television, such as the Arrowverse chain, The CW or the new Disney+ productions that are part of the UCM, but there are several superhero series that you can enjoy from your home without having to know all the history behind it.

These superhero series can be the perfect option to do a marathon without having first seen a prequel, either in a film or in a series, and its plot is almost completely far from other productions that Marvel and DC have led to success in the past, although they are obviously based on the comics.
