Blue Marvel - Adam Brashear Appreciation 2021

[Tofali]

Why would they do what?

Combine Marvel Boy and Blue Marvel in the MCU

[Agent Z]

Every superhero eventually turns to the dark side.

Why should black superheroes be excluded from that?

Admit it: Anti-Marvel would make a badass supervillain.

Because those stories are generally not very good and often done for shock value.

Combine Marvel Boy and Blue Marvel in the MCU

Oh. To add a twist to the canon and avail themselves of creative license. Kind of like how they made Scarlet Witch not just a mystical adept, but a special, rare class of witch. Or removed Monica Rambeau's father from the picture entirely and made her not only a child, but altered how she got her powers and her place as the second Captain Marvel after Mar-Vell perished.

Plus, I figure it's a movie about Marvels, so I'm wondering if they'll try to loop in as many characters who bore that name as possible. Given that Adam is actually the second Blue Marvel (the clone of Thelius, who assumed the identity of Marvel Boy, was the first in terms of publication date), it wouldn't surprise me if they considered combining the two. It would also be one of many possible ways to introduce a version of the Quantum or Nega Bands to the MCU. Adam, astrophysicist and multidimensional explorer, stumbles upon them while strolling the NZ, becomes an unknown hero from the 1960s for a minute before SHIELD quarantines and black-sites him.

Or something like that.

I've been batting around this idea in my head for awhile;
How would you guys go about spicing up Blue's look (to signify a new era)?
This is just me but I feel like he's missing that extra color in his suit to add more contrast/intensity, like an orange or gold. Doesn't have to look aggressive or flashy, but some more contrast would be cool imo.

I'm always open to costume changes for Adam. I think most people have grown used to his current weekend warrior outfit with the vest, but that get-up doesn't come across as iconic to me. I agree that exploring different color combinations might enhance the overall presentation. While he may be the Blue Marvel, the costume doesn't have to be limited to blues only. Pretty much every color goes with blue, depending on which hue you use.

Breh....mind....blown!! If it gets Adam on the screen, I could deal with this idea.

Thanks, man. Just wondering "What If?" aloud,mostly.

I think as long as Blue Marvel makes it into the MCU somehow, someway, we'll be happy. But I haven't heard any news about what Shamier Anderson's role will actually be, so I can't get too hyped up just yet.

If you could move Blue Marvel to a different city which would it be? I think Atlanta would be a great fit for him.

Atlanta would be good. Perhaps Seattle. Austin? It could be interesting to send him to the middle of nowhere in the mid-west...

I'd move him out West to San Diego. It's shocking to me how few heroes (or at least notable ones) are in the area given that it's home to the Comic Con of all Comic Cons. It'd be an even bigger deal if they started him off in SD in the MCU and announced him at SDCC.

Birnin Zana, Wakanda.

Chicago of course

Seconding!

Shamier Anderson in Halle Berry's new movie. Not sure what role he'll play in Marvels, but if it is Adam, that's fine with me.

Just watched The Harder They Fall last night. And now I'm back to wishing there was someway they could cast Idris Elba as Dr. Adam Brashear. If and when the time comes.
