What Marvel's Jessica Jones Cast Look Like In The Comics
12. Oscar Clemons
In The Comics:
Originally a character associated with Daredevil and The Punisher, Oscar Clemons was an NYPD detective working a case in which the two heroes were coming to a head about the fate of a criminal involved in a massacre at a wedding. An older, more experienced detective, he and his partner Walter Bolt chase Castle down, before it's revealed that Bolt was an informant for Castle for months. Though they remain partners, Bolt is eventually killed in a shooting blamed on Castle. Despite working against Castle for the longest time, Clemons eventually proves that Castle had nothing to do with the shooting. His appearance in the comics is based on Morgan Freeman.
In The TV Series:
Appearing as a detective nearing retirement, played by Clarke Peters of The Wire fame, Oscar Clemons is assigned to Hope Shlottman's case in season one, at first focusing on Jessica's involvement in the case, even finding out about her super-strength over the course of the investigation. He's eventually convinced of Kilgrave's powers, when Jessica and her team bring him in to witness Kilgrave's mind control in action, but when Kilgrave escapes, Clemons is murdered by the unhinged Will Simpson.
