Marvel Comics has had some of the most amazing characters in history. Many of them were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, but there were others that these two did not have a hand in. Regardless, what Lee and Kirby have done for the comic book world is legendary. The best and worst thing that ever happened was the decision to make movies based on the Marvel Universe. Obviously, we're a victim of recency bias when we see current movies from the MCU, but these are not the first Marvel films.
In fact, there have been older Captain America, Nick Fury, and Fantastic Four films that were absolutely terrible. Do we really need to bring up Spider-Man? So when the 90's came, the idea presented was that they would sell off some of their universe to studios so that could make better films with a bigger budget. This sadly broke up the universe between three different studios. 20th Century FOX, Sony Studios, and Disney Studios. Eventually, Marvel Studios came to be and now makes every single Marvel film within the studio that has the rights.
Disney owns the larger universe and made a deal to use Spider-Man in the MCU recently. This erased the other two versions of Spider-Man from use. 20th Century reset their universe as well, allowing for a future use of the X-Men to be compelling. They are in a deal with Disney to sell the studio and thus the rights to major characters, like the X-Men and Fantastic Four. The characters within the universe are seemingly endless, regardless of any deal. Disney still has the rest of the Marvel world, so why have they not used more characters?
In fact, there are so many amazing people they have yet to use that many are wondering when Disney will decide on the use. The real question for most will be if they do choose to use a character, who will play them? Plus, why would they want to bring that character in, to begin with? That is where we come in with our list today. A bit of a note, characters like Carnage, Adam Warlock, Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell, and others are expected to be in movie form relatively soon and thus not included. That said, we hope you enjoy our list.
Squirrel Girl (Anna Kendrick)
People might be surprised to learn there is actually a character called Squirrel Girl in Marvel Comics, but you might be even more surprised to learn she is a fan favorite. In fact, the character has been rumored for the movie world for many years now. She has appeared in some of the animated shows Marvel put together, but that is the most we have seen of her. The overwhelming thought from fans is that she would be perfect for a movie in some form. So what about her makes this a movie character worth seeing. While she has some features of a squirrel and can talk to them, this isn't all.
She has enhanced strength, speed, and agility due to the squirrel connection. Her reflexes are almost off the charts too. All of this makes her a tough person to beat. In addition, she has large teeth similar to the animal and claws that can cut someone to pieces. She even has a retractable knuckle spike and semi-prehensile tail. She even once took it to Thanos, who struggled to fight her. Likely the best person to use for this character would be the person always rumored to play her, Anna Kendrick. She has very similar looks, height, and weight to the character's human side. With make-up, the squirrel addition could be pretty amazing on her, and she very well could be the best possible choice.
Captain Britain (Christian Bale)
When the Captain America character became a huge star in the comic book world, everyone loved the character but often wondered if someone similar would come along. Marvel Comics wanted to expand to areas around the world, especially the United Kingdom. This was where they were able to come to Captain Britain, who is quite similar to Steve Rogers. However, Rogers does not even come close to the power this Captain has. He can lift up to 90 tons and has enhanced reflexes, stamina, and senses. The senses are similar to that of Wolverine, which makes him a brilliant tracker and detective. To top it off, he can fly up to 770 mph. However, it is only for short periods of time.
The power comes from energies between dimensions, so it did not come to him similar to Steve Rogers received his powers. There is some belief that he has prophetic visions due to tied memories from experiences throughout history. He developed this when he was lost in a timeline at one point. The question is, who would play such a major role? Christian Bale is perfect. He has proven he can play a hero when he took on the role of Batman, but due to his real-life British upbringing, the character hits home pretty well. To top it off, he has some similarities. He is also young enough to get in impressive shape to play the role and be on par, somewhat, with the comic book look.
Hope Summers (Chloe Grace Moretz)
There is a theory among some Marvel fans that the studio may end up doing a future movie whenever Disney owns a good bit of the X-Men universe. If this does happen, the daughter of Cable, Hope Summers, is likely the best character to see. She is absolutely incredible. She has more power than people truly understand. She was taught amazing hand-to-hand combat skills from her father, which means without power, she is an effective butt-kicker. But with power, she is incredible. She is a mix between Mystique and Rogue. She has the same ability of Rogue in that she can take someone's power once she sees they have some, but like Mystique, she does not have to touch and can use her power by just seeing them.
Her power is also equal to the person she copies, making Hope incredibly tough to stop. Hope once unleashed a psionic power so extreme that it destroyed Cerebro. She can heal others, up to a point. The true limits of her power are not yet known, but she is absolutely incredible and ranks among the most powerful mutants known to Marvel. If Disney keeps making movies, they're bound to land on Hope for something. As of now, who could properly play her? Chloe Grace Moretz makes sense. Chloe could change her hair color if needed, but Hope often has blonde hair. She clearly fits the character in a ton of ways, and she's the right age range for Hope Summers.
Sabretooth (Daniel Cudmore)
We know what you're thinking right now. But guys, Sabretooth has already been on screen, right? He was in the original X-Men and even made an appearance in The Wolverine movie. Btw, both are two different forms of the character, did you know that? Anyway, due to the actions of X-Men: Days of Future Past, those movies no longer exist because the universe and timeline they were in are no longer in canon. That means, according to the timeline, Sabretooth has not been used. Yeah, this is a bit technical but you know we're right, so let's move on. Sabretooth is an incredible character that was used relatively well in his use in The Wolverine (it's pretty much all they got right).
He has enhanced strength and claws that can cut through most things. Like Logan, he has incredible healing power too. This ability also makes him immune to poisons and other drugs. All of his senses are incredibly enhanced too, which makes him a brilliant tracker. Finding the right man to play this role could be tough, as you'd need a bit of a bigger guy to truly pull off the look of the character and ram home how imposing he is. On top of how great this man would be with power as a legit villain.
Daniel Cudmore comes to mind here. He actually played Colossus in the original X-Men movies and played Felix in the Twilight movies. He stands at 6'7 and is an experienced actor as well as stuntman. He'd fit the imposing nature of Sabretooth and be able to do a lot of stunts for the character that few others could pull off.
Namor The Submariner (Orlando Bloom)
Namor The Submariner could be considered the Marvel answer to Aquaman, but this is not true. In fact, Namor came first and was part of Marvel Comics' original set of heroes, and appeared in their very first comic book. Aquaman did not appear for another 2 years! That said, they are quite similar. Both are from Atlantis and both have enhanced strength and the ability to control undersea wildlife. Namor is often referred to as Marvel's First Mutant, due in part to the fact that he is half-human/half-Atlantean. He is an effective leader who has enhanced speed, agility, durability, and longevity. He can also fly in the normal air without the need to go back into the water, as flight is part of the mutant ability apparently.
He is able to survive underwater as long as he chooses, and due to the water he has lived in, he has incredibly enhanced vision. This allows his senses to be superpowered in water and even more so on land. He can also live an incredibly long time and is currently 90 years old in Marvel's timeline. A Namor movie has been rumored for some time, with the addition of Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Carribean star Orlando Bloom playing the character. We cannot say we hate the idea, as Bloom fits the role better than most. Namor is a special character to Marvel due to being one of the first superheroes they ever used. It is likely the studio would do very well by him, and likely make him as awesome as DC made Aquaman in the new films.
The Leader (Cuba Gooding, Jr.)
One of the most well-known villains from the comic book world is The Leader. He mostly comes from The Incredible Hulk series of comics, but he has had run-ins with multiple other characters. Even the Avengers have seen a good bit of him throughout Marvel Comics history. His real name is Samuel Sterns, and like The Hulk, he was affected by gamma-radiation. Sterns was a janitor for a chemical laboratory, which while not the most impressive job in the world was still useful to keep the lights on at home. He did not finish high school, however, and his mental capacity was by no means impressive.
Then one day while trying to move radioactive materials to an underground storage area, the material explodes and hits him with the gamma radiation. As a result, he came out of the experience with superpowered intelligence, as well as telepathy and psychokinesis. The character is notably small, but not as small as people assume. He's about 5'10. This would allow him to be played by many actors in Hollywood unless they want to stick with the smaller nature. Since he is black in the comics, before turning green, the best actor might very well be Cuba Gooding, Jr. He stands exactly at 5'10 and has proven himself as an actor after winning the Oscar for the movie Jerry Maguire. He was also impressive in Radio, Selma, The Butler, Red Tails, and American Gangster. He also fits the age that The Leader typically would be under.
Doctor Spectrum (Jensen Ackles)
When you think about some cool cosmic characters to debut, Doctor Spectrum ranks near the top. He has never truly been used in any true form across the movies or even animated shows. Due to the CGI world being better, the character could easily work. The story behind him is pretty interesting. Joe Ledger is a good looking guy and the hot young upstart for NASA. Ladies loved the guy due to both factors. He came across something pretty significant when he was in space, a Skrull ship named Skymax. He would save a Skrull's life, and as a reward for his savior, the Skrull gave him the Power Prism. This prism was designed by The Grandmaster, who is practically a God.
While Joe holds no power of his own, the prism contained a great deal of power. It allows him to become Doctor Spectrum, a relatively good hero throughout Marvel. The Prism allows him to create photonic energy at will, and the power allows him to fly or become intangible. He can even use it to take over any mechanical device. It has also had some success in the removal of powers for some. Basically, think of him as the Marvel version of Green Lantern. That said, who would fit the character best? There's a lot of talented men who could fit the role. Since you need a good-looking guy who makes sense, a guy like Jensen Ackles would make sense. He's most known for Supernatural but he has a huge love for the superhero genre and has taken part as a voice role for several animated movies and TV shows.
Miles Morales (Kolton Stewart)
Miles Morales would likely not be introduced right away to the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to their newer use of Peter Parker, but it does make sense to debut him in a few years. One of the better people for the job might be a kid by the name of Kolton Stewart. He is under 21 right now, and within a few years he could still likely pull off the age we'd need for a Miles Morales. For those who do not know the character, Miles becomes Spider-Man after Parker in the Ultimate Marvel universe. This area of Marvel allowed for a black Spider-Man to exist, which the team wanted to add in to cater to a bigger audience. They also wanted to connect to the Latino crowd. The hybrid gave us Miles Morales.
The debut happened shortly before Barack Obama won the election for President of the United States, where he was the first black man ever elected to the position. Knowing the world well it seems, Marvel knew a black/latino Spidey replacing Parker could work. But they wanted to be slow with it, which is why he stayed in one universe, to begin with. He eventually became so popular, he crossed over into other universes. His powers are almost everything the normal Spidey can do, as well as the ability to camouflage himself and the clothes he has on as well as a cool venom strike. Stewart has a similar look to Miles, and would likely fit him well by the time the MCU decides to bring him to the big screen...or by the time Sony decides to do so. He can pass for the mixed ethnicity Morales happens to be, which is pretty essential.
Ms. Marvel (Dar Zuzovsky)
When we refer to Ms. Marvel, we refer to the woman by the name of Kamala Khan. Carol Danvers once held the title, but is more known for being Captain Marvel and will be debuting in her own solo movie and joining the larger MCU in Avengers 4. Khan, on the other hand, is a bit different than the cosmic being with the power of Captain Marvel. Khan is usually relatively young when she is seen. While there have been different looks and forms, the youthful nature tends to always be present with her. Khan's powers are under the label of morphogenetics. Basically, she can stretch like Mr. Fantastic. This ability also allows her to not be harmed as easily and heal rapidly.
The ability to stretch and alter her body gives her another cool ability. She can adjust her body and face to look like anyone she chooses. Though if it is a superpowered being, she will not have their powers. She comes from the Inhuman side of the aisle, so it'll be interesting how they set her up. The MCU has sort of planned out a possibility for a Ms. Marvel film, but it will not be for some time if they do it. The question is, who could play her when they use her? Due to her youth and Italian/Muslim heritage, we'd need to find an actress that fits this. Israeli actress Dar Zuzovsky would make sense. She did the mandatory two years in the Israeli Armed Forces and has been modeling and taking part in various TV shows. She's relatively new, meaning Disney could do a lot with her as a character.
Nighthawk (Josh Holloway)
Nighthawk is an interesting character. While a movie about him in solo form would not make sense, he would be a terrific addition to the movie world as a useful villain. His real identity is Kyle Richmond, and the character overall is pretty cool. He's something of an anti-hero rather than major villain or hero. He could be similar to Deadpool in this way, but nothing exact. He gets his powers from the effects of an alchemical serum. The effects of it are quite interesting in that he gets his powers truly in the night period while the daylight forces him to go back to his human-like form. At night, he possesses super-strength, endurance, and speed at times. He can even recover fast from attacks and major injury.
The name Nighthawk obviously comes from his lack of skill during the day and mostly at night. The hawk name comes together due to the fact that he rarely misses anything and has his eyes on a lot. Similar to a Batman type in this context. There are many who could fit the role of Nighthawk in Hollywood. But due to his rugged type, and the age he is usually presented, a lot of people could fit him in the over 30 crowd. However, Josh Holloway may make the most sense. The age and size are both right to help, and he's known enough to be recognizable in the role and could give it so extra power to stand out. While he has been in a number of movies, Josh is most known for the TV show Lost.
Northstar (Sterling Knight)
Born with the name Jean-Paul Beaubier, he learned he was a mutant at an early age. When we talk about people who have yet to truly be tapped into, this man is as amazing as they come. While away from his superpower, he is an incredible athlete due to his world-class skiing and trapeze abilities, he is also very intelligent. He is French and speaks it fluently, as well as English. His superpower is likely tough to understand, but basically, he can channel kinetic energy of the atomic motion in his body's molecules. They have to be used in a single direction, however. This allows him to accelerate to high velocity. It is theoretical, but Northstar has the potential to reach the exact speed of light if he were to want to. This is 186,272 mph. He cannot do this very well as he cannot breathe at this speed, and his body would become damaged.
The problem with Northstar is that he has to pay a price for using his power. He is robbing his molecules of their atomic motion, so they bind forces within and between to increase. This gives him a second power of amazing toughness of his entire body. This has allowed him to develop durability on his skin to stand the speed of Mach 10 (7672.69 mph) without injury. He can also light up protons in his molecules with acceleration, hence the name of Northstar. But who could play him? It would likely need to be someone under 30, so a person such as Sterling Knight makes sense. He is known for movies like 17 Again, and Disney DCOMs and shows such as Sonny with a Chance, Starstruck, and So Random! He is good for the part and looks a lot like the character, so it could be a good hire.
Magik (Veronika Vernadskaya)
When you think of impressive female mutants yet to be explored, Magik is the perfect person to truly use here. We know a great deal of the female mutants like Jean Grey, Kitty Pride, Storm, and others. However, in the new class of X-Men characters, we truly have to rank Magik among the most impressive of the bunch. She has the power to teleport through time and space. She is able to do this by creating portals into what is pretty much a pocket dimension, known as Otherplace (Limbo). Here she can get caught up in some magical forces alongside magical demons. So it's quite unique. She can travel to most any time and any space, but the further the distance is the more likely an error occurs within time and space.
She has also been known to be a relatively impressive sorceress, who uses her power mostly while in Otherplace. Yet on Earth, those magical powers are pretty limited. She does have astral projection, which allows her to sense magical beings in any presence. She can also summon the Soulsword here. This is a magical sword that is powered by her own life energy. Though it can only work on magical beings. She is the younger sister of Collusus and goes by the name Illyana Rasputin. A Russian woman would be needed to play her, or an actress who can pull off the accent. Veronika Vernadskaya is a sensible choice. She's Russian and is fluent in her native language as well as French and English. She would make perfect sense, and at 23 but looking younger, she could pull off the age incredibly well.
Quasar (Ben Barnes)
Quasar can be compared to someone like Doctor Spectrum, as both do similar things for Marvel in that they are the Protector of the Universe. Quasar as born Wendell Vaughn, and would graduate from the S.H.I.E.L.D. academy. Though a good agent for them, he was pretty low on the scale until he came across some Quantum-bands. Other agents tried to wield these bands, but no one could do it as well as Vaughn. That ultimately led to Nick Fury adding him to the Super Agents for the team. While on a mission in space, the Guardian of Cosmic Awareness, Eon, contact him. He would bestow the Protector of the Universe tag on him, which formerly belonged to Mar-Vell, before his passing.
These bands allow Vaughn to fly faster than the speed of light. His body also contains the body of Ego, who we last saw in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. He is deceased but his entity was stored in the Quantum Zone, so many believe the bands merely offer the access point to Ego. He can "Quantum Jump" or teleport, energy manipulation and construct. So he can absorb energy to make stuff. Though everything is mostly powered by the Quantum Zone, he can absorb energy from anywhere. The character is amazing, so a proper actor would need to play him. A man like Ben Barnes makes a lot of sense. He played Caspian in the Chronicles of Narnia films, Billy Russo in The Punisher series on Netflix, and is now a main cast member (Logan Delos) on the hit HBO series, Westworld. He's clearly a perfect person for this role if you think about it.
Spider-Man 2099 (William Levy)
Spider-Man 2099 is similar to the original Spidey in many ways. Like Spidey, he earned his power from some scientific thing gone wrong. For Peter Parker, it was a radioactive spider with various abilities that gave him his power. But for a man named Miguel O'Hara, it was far more complicated. He was working for a tyrant of a boss at a place called Alchemex. He has an advanced degree in genetics, so when he realizes his boss was handing out pills to people such as himself to get them hooked as well as do his bidding, he wasn't happy. He decided to remove his bond to the meds by doing a risky procedure. Unknown to him, a co-worker of his came in and saw it happening. Wanting to do anything to move up the ladder, the co-worker turned all the settings up in order to take out O'Hara.
Somehow, Miguel survived and the area he was working blew up with chemicals going everywhere. His co-worker passed as a result of it all but Miguel attained superpowers. Like Parker, he has super strength, agility, speed, stamina, and durability. Unlike Parker, he has shown some telepathic ability and can move so fast in his speed that a decoy is left in his place. It is sort of like leaving a hologram behind. This allows him to confuse his enemies.
He also has advanced healing factor and ages very slow, so longevity is here too. He also has spinnerettes as well as talons that are insanely sharp and venom teeth that can take anyone out. He is Hispanic, so any actor playing him would need to fit this area. William Levy is perfect for this. He's a good-looking guy, Hispanic, and in incredible shape. He has been seen in movies like Girls Trip and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
Gambit (Channing Tatum)
We know, this another technicality we're throwing out there. Like Sabretooth, Gambit was used in The Wolverine. While he was not terrible, the version used in this movie was not nearly as good as he could have been used. The character is also now currently not within the universe and deserves a chance to debut. Remy LeBeau is from New Orleans and has a thick Cajun accent, considering where he is from. He is fluent in English and French as a result of all this. His powers are quite unique, but before we talk about them, we have to discuss his non-power ability. He is an impressive skilled and accurate thrower of various objects. This includes cards, knives, and whatever he wants to throw at the time.
His powers only serve to enhance this. His mutant powers allow him to tap into potential energy within an object and transform it into kinetic energy. This allows him to throw an object and have it explode upon arrival. He also has some superhuman agility and dexterity. He can even create static interference with objects as well as interfere with detection and mind intrusion by powerful telepaths like Emma Frost, Jean Grey, and Charles Xavier.
He's also a skilled thief and can pretty much talk his way into and out of anything. The man who has been connected to the part of Gambit for the longest is Channing Tatum. Though he is from Alabama, Tatum has developed a pretty impressive accent to pull off Gambit. Tatum is also a pretty popular actor who could give an ensemble or solo movie the ability to get a pretty sizable audience.
She-Hulk (Pauley Perrette)
She-Hulk has been a character people have wanted to come to the big screen for years. Disney did hear the cry for the character and made her a big part in the Hulk animated series on Disney XD. However, this is the most we've seen of her outside the comics. While there are many versions of her, we're going to want to Jennifer Walters version. Jenn has a degree in Criminal Law, making her a useful person to have due to her smarts in that world. Her cousin happens to be Hulk himself, Bruce Banner. She was able to get her powers from Bruce, due to Banner trying to save her. She was severely wounded by thugs of a local crime boss. Bruce gave her a blood transfusion and thus, she was able to become She-Hulk.
She is pretty much like her cousin in many ways. She has incredible strength, durability, endurance, and healing. However, she actually retains her full intelligence and personality and has complete control when she changes to She-Hulk. Due to the character likely being CGI, anyone could truly play her. Yet if we're going to make her like Banner, she would need to be a bit smaller and pull off the geek pretty well. There are a number of women who would be perfect, but someone like Pauley Perrette, better known as Abby from NCIS would be perfect. She seems like the best candidate. She plays the geek version very well on NCIS but she is also incredibly beautiful. She is one of the most popular and beloved TV actresses and it's likely she would have a huge following as She-Hulk.
Mysterio (Jonathan Rhys Meyers)
The character known as Mysterio is considered one of the greatest villains in all of Marvel Comics, and likely any comic universe. He is mostly known as a Spider-Man villain but he has also crossed paths with several other heroes, including Doctor Strange. His real name is Quentin Beck, and he was once a Hollywood special effects designer and even stuntman. He realized his ability in special effects would make him a skilled supervillain. He was an excellent technology man as well, so mostly he uses illusions and tech to get the job done. He is a trained hypnotist, psychologist, and physiologist. This allows him to know the bodies and brains of most, and have some control over them.
His learned ability in chemistry and tech helps. This ultimately helped him learn to make amazing hallucinogenic drugs and gases. He once tricked Wolverine into ultimately taking out almost all of the X-Men, which is sort of the beginning of the Old Man Logan story. Mysterio overall would be a great person to bring to the MCU, but who would play him? A great guy might be Jonathan Rhys Meyers. He's notable for his work in movies like Bend It Like Beckham, Mission Impossible III, and August Rush. He was nominated for several awards for his role in the miniseries Elvis as the title character. But he's likely most known for his work as King Henry VIII from the show Tudors.
Kang The Conqueror (Isaiah Mustafa)
Kang The Conquerer is quite an amazing character in the Marvel Universe. He travels throughout time usually, and that is often what allows him to be such a threat. Due to his ability to attain technology from throughout time and from any planet...he's almost unstoppable. He has been one of the biggest threats The Avengers have ever seen, and at one point removed the normal team and the back-ups had to find a way, just barely, to save the day. He ages slower than most humans, so he's able to be relatively old without slowing down. The tech he has is insane. He has an anti-matter defense screen generator, an electromagnetic field-amplifier, a neutrino-ray warheaded missile launcher that is freaking handheld!
Not to mention energy paralysis generator, nerve gas sprayer, and a molecular-expander. This is not including the army he commands. He is hard to find, as he resides in a land known as Purgatory, which is in-between time and realms. Kang can shift through time so often and is part of the council of other Kangs from other time streams and realms. This allows him to save himself, quite literally, from traps or periods he could be caught and/or taken out. There are several men who could play this part, as age won't truly matter due to being under a great deal of make-up. That means we need use an impressive actor with a good voice and great control over emotional facial expressions.
This makes us land on none other than Isaiah Mustafa. Most known for his appearances in the Old Spice commercials, he's also appeared in movies like Madea's Big Happy Family and Horrible Bosses as well as TV shows like Chuck and Shadowhunters. He tried to get the role as Luke Cage in the new Netflix series but did not get the part, so it seems pretty clear he'd love to get into a Marvel movie and Kang could be his opportunity.
Agent Venom (Liam Hemsworth)
Unlike the new movie coming out, Venom, this version of the character isn't Eddie Brock. Agent Venom involves Flash Thompson. His hero is Spider-Man and wants to be a hero just like him, which inspires him to enlist in the armed forces and fight in the Middle East. Sadly an explosion occurs, injuring him to a point that his legs were paralyzed. He fights through it to save his superior officer. Sadly, as a result of this, he would lose his legs as they were amputated up to the knee. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is keeping the Symbiote, Venom, and want to weaponize him to use to protect the country. Flash volunteers to take on the symbiote and does well with it. It also restores his legs, as long as he remains with the symbiote.
This version of Venom is similar to the original. This includes super strength, agility, speed, durability, and shapeshifting. He too has web-slinging abilities as well as wall-crawling and spider sense. Though the Venom symbiote is tough for Flash to control at first, he attains control eventually. Flash is an interesting guy too, as his skill in hand-to-hand combat and weaponry are added to Venom's abilities and it ultimately makes him an even bigger threat.
He would even join the Guardians of the Galaxy at one point! But who could play the role? There is a really great fit truthfully, Liam Hemsworth. Though he may have similarities to Thor (played by his brother Chris), he'll often be in the Agent Venom CGI. He fits terrifically as Flash and has been in multiple films where he has shown his action side.
Nova (Tyler Posey)
There are a few versions of the character Nova. However, the most popular is Sam Alexander, who debuted about 5 to 6 years ago. His father happened to be the one who had the power of Nova and often drank too much. He would, upon being in an alcoholic binge, speak incoherently about the Nova Corps among other things. Sam would randomly have the power of the Nova force thrust upon him, which was certainly interesting. He was sort of an outsider teenager who did not truly know what he was getting himself into when he joined up with the Guardians of the Galaxy and had his own heroic adventures. The powers of Nova come from the Nova Force itself and contains a ton of cool stuff.
Nova has superhuman strength, speed, and durability. He can fly as well, and up to very high speeds. He also has the power to absorb energy when it is directed against him, he can then release it as gravimetric pulses and/or beams. He can shoot these usually from his hands but he could shoot the pulses or beams off with any part of his body. The best person to play the role might very well be Tyler Posey. The Sam Alexander version is Latino, and Posey fits this well. He is most known for his work in the TV shows Teen Wolf and Scream. He can also likely pull off the age very well.
Beyonder (Kit Harington)
The Beyonder is a very interesting villain in Marvel Comics that can likely be hard to explain. There are first, two versions of the character, a male, and female. We'll be focusing on the male version mostly known for the Secret Wars. Beyonder is likely one of the most powerful characters in the history of comics, and he's so high powered that he is known to be somewhat of a God. The real rub of the character is that his powers are so high that it takes several cosmic things to defeat him. He is immune to disease, aging, and does not require food and drink. He has the power to completely alter reality on a planetary scale, which is incredible.
He can scan the minds of an entire world, neutralize psionic abilities and neutralize psychic probes by telepaths. He has the ability and has shown to have most gained knowledge from the entire multiverse, that means all worlds within Marvel. He has an insane strength that, due to his status as basically a God, is limitless. He cannot be truly offed by anyone either, and is mostly known for "Battleworld." Possibly the best person to play this character would be Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington. He has shown some interest in projects in the comic world in the past, but more importantly, this character fits him in every single way.
Spider-Woman (Kat Graham)
Spider-Woman has grown major in popularity the last number of years, and that makes a lot of sense with more women reading comics now more than ever. She has made her way into the animated television world on Disney XD a bit as well, but the overall character is amazing. She is a lot like Spider-Man, but she has some relatively big differences from the wall-crawler. She seems to be as strong if not stronger than Spidey and has superhuman endurance and speed. She also has a bio-electric energy venom blasts that she can put to stun or take out most anyone, especially normal humans. They can stick to various surfaces too. She is also immune to all poisons and drugs as well as radiation, none of which Peter Parker has in his ability column.
While she was already beautiful before attaining powers, they allow her metabolism to generate pheromones that can attract men. The character of Jessica Drew learned great fighting styles before she attained her powers. She would get them after her father injected her with an untested spider serum and sealed her in a genetic accelerator. He then kept her in stasis for many years. This slowed down her aging in appearance, but not in result. She awoke with no memory of her past or power. A number of great actresses can play Spider-Woman, but there might not be a better choice for her than the gorgeous Kat Graham. She fits the age range and looks very very well for the part. Graham is most known for her role in Vampire Diaries.
Mephisto (Ian Somerhalder)
Mephisto is one of the most incredible Marvel villains that has been in need of use for years. He is pretty incredible, and would likely be able to show up in a Scarlet Witch solo project if they ever went that direction. The character is incredibly powerful and from the supernatural area of Marvel. He usually controls mystical energy that he uses to make force blasts, matter manipulation, astral projection, interdimensional portals, shape-shifting, and even illusion-casting. He is often referred to as Marvel's Grim Reaper or Devil, as he is able to capture the souls of deceased individuals. Many bargain their soul to him, and these tend to be the people he targets for such a price.
The more souls he traps within his realm, the more power he gets. This is why he tries to capture as many souls as he can. He is immune to most things, making him powerful. He's likely most known for two stories. The time he forces Spider-Man to end his marriage to Mary Jane to save the world. Another is when he messed with Scarlet Witch by kidnapping Vision and ultimately fixing him so he would lose his personality. He also took her children during birth, as he made her lose focus upon magically delivering and they were lost. This ultimately devastated Wanda and would even end up setting up the results of the House of M. Mephisto obviously is a character that can be huge for them, but who could play him? Perhaps the best man would be Ian Somerhalder. He's most known from the TV shows Lost and Vampire Dairies. He fits this world well, and could truly pull off the way this character needs to be played.
Moon Knight (Armie Hammer)
Moon Knight is one of the most popular characters in Marvel Comics and one that fans have been begging to see on the big screen or at least with a Netflix series. It makes sense. The character is pretty interesting. He has various personas he puts on, some are of a rich man and another is a poor one. He plays so many people that he develops a split-personality disorder. He learns how to fight in hand-to-hand during all this, and like Bruce Wayne, he is pretty rich and can afford amazing gadgets and equipment. He often has amazing uniforms that often allow him to be two different superhero types. He has to be different with all of these characters, so any actor who plays him has to be able to bring this to the table.
Moon Knight is basically Marvel's Batman in many ways, but the split-personality is a pretty huge difference.
He has a massive story which is too large to go over here. However, his ability to find out information and flawlessly be different people is incredible. His fighting is also impressive, and much of the comics are dark-themed. Any show or movie would likely even need an R-Rating, though he's worked in PG when he came to Disney XD for the Spider-Man series. Perhaps the best man for the job here would be Armie Hammer. He has proven to be a fearless actor in movies like Call Me By Your Name. He has shown great accent work in movies like The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and clearly showed he can dive into various character types. He also fits Moon Knight in look and overall style. So Hammer is the first choice for us.
Vulcan (Alexander Skarsgard)
Vulcan comes from the X-Men universe and happens to be the third Summers brother. This means he is the brother of Havoc and Cyclops. He's more powerful than both of them and happens to be on the high Omega-Mutant level. He came to the universe in a very interesting way. A rock was in deep space encapsulated by the magic of Scarlet Witch. As it came to Earth, it was picked up by Emma Frost and Cebro but had so much static hit it that it made Emma pass out. It crashed landed on Earth and was met by the X-Men who saw a man come out of it. His name, Vulcan.
He began to fight them right away. He seemed to recognize Cyclops but none of the other mutants. He would even incapacitate Wolverine in this fight. His powers are similar to that of what his brothers can do, with some variations. Gabriel Summers has shown psionic ability to control energy. This allows him to project radiation along the electromagnetic spectrum. Meaning anything Magneto can do, he can do it 10 times more. To top it off, he can conduct electrical energy, generate heat, and even control Cyclops' energy beams.
He can even control the psionic ability of others, which is why he's such a tough mutant to beat and lands on the Omega level. He eventually developed the powers of geokinesis, advanced adaptation, and time manipulation. He's an amazing villain in Marvel and can be used against the Avengers or the X-Men. Likely the best man to play him would be Alexander Skarsgard. He has the right look to pull it off and can act very well. He's most known from The Legend of Tarzan as well as the TV shows Big Little Lies and True Blood.
