A pilot episode for a television adaptation was produced for Creator/TheWB television network in 2004, aiming for a mid-season premiere in the Spring of 2005. The series executive producer and writer of the pilot was Creator/JohnRogers (''Film/TheCore'', ''Film/Catwoman2004'', ''Film/{{Transformers}}'', ''Series/{{Leverage}}''), with many high-profile names attached on the production staff, including Creator/JMichaelStraczynski (''Series/BabylonFive''), Diego Gutierrez (''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''), Ben Edlund (''Series/{{Angel}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheTick''), and David Slack (''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''). Nelson [=McCormick=] (''Series/{{Alias}}'') directed the pilot. A change in network management while the pilot was in production, and subsequent "differing creative visions and network/studio gunk" (as Rogers put it in his blog), resulted in the series not going ahead. The pilot has never been aired or officially released, but gained a cult following after a copy was leaked onto torrent networks several months later.

!!The unaired pilot contains examples of:
* BorrowedBiometricBypass: Subverted; while storming a secret prison, Miranda Zero is completely prepared to get past the retinal scanner, but runs into trouble when it turns out to be a ''password-protected'' scanner.
* HaveIMentionedIAmSexuallyActiveToday: Agent 555 Dr. Katrina Finch reels off a very lengthy list of her academic qualifications, all acquired at a very young age (she's no older than thirty), so the male lead makes a joke about how she mustn't have found much time for a social life in the process. She gets surprisingly touchy and insists at length that she did, ending with the [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial unconvincing and unsolicited information]] that she "had boyfriends". The clear implication is that she's still a virgin.
* NoodleIncident: Something happened involving the U.S Secretary of Defense in Tacumseh, Ohio that he does not want anyone to know about. Miranda Zero, of course, knows what it was.

** Some of the GF members may also qualify, given their [[DarkAndTroubledPast backgrounds]] and willingness to do practically ''anything'' (within reason, that is) to get the job done, most often involving the [[BloodKnight willingness to kill the bad guys without a second thought]]. Grushko is probably the stand-out example, but Jill Cabot, Alice April and even Wellfare's arch-nemesis, the Frenchman, all have shades of this as well, while Takashi Sato quit the GF out of fear that he was turning into this.
