Producers Peter Chernin and David Engel will be heading the feature film, which has Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan attached as screenwriter, reports Deadline.
The creator-owned Icon title tells the story of Zack Overkill, a superpowered criminal who enters a witness protection programme after testifying against his boss.
"We've all seen the story of a good person who goes undercover and gets corrupted," said Brubaker.
"This is a bad person forced to live among regular people, and how he's affected by that. He once ran around with a mask, but now he's got the fake name and the fake job.
"My goal was to have you rooting for him as he grows a conscience."
