Comic series based upon another Earth Pantheon other than Nordic and Greek one?

[MaximoffTrash]

Say if Marvel feels like picking up another Earth Pantehon and its mythos as the base for comic adaption, which one would you like it to be? And who should be the protagonist?
I know most Earth Pantheon does exist within MU, but most of them are pretty non-consequential and not well defined characters, the only ones with relatively complete stories and lore within MU are Nordic and Greek(also maybe Egyptian) ones with Thor and Herc comic series.(And of course other characters who are frequently featured in solos and team books.)
BTW, the protagonist should be a god from said pantheon instead of being herald/servant/worshipper of a certain god. Or else characters like Moon Knight and Black Panther would count as representatives for Egyptian gods.
What are your thoughts on this?

I think there's a lot of potential to explore Vodou and that pantheon. I think marvel has a lot of untapped potential with Dr. Voodoo as a character.

Yeah, it would be cool if they explore the pantheon in detail.
Though I am talking about a series like Thor or Hercules, meaning featuring a god as the protagonist and the pantheon as supporting cast.(Which is why I kinda exclude characters like Moon Knight, but again a mortal protagonist won't stop them from using the broader mythos of course.)

I wouldn’t mind seeing The First return, since Marvel owns them and has forgotten about them.

^^^This.
Also Native American lore/Gods/Pantheons, via Red Wolf.

Let's see some Paganism from the British Isles, and how that might tie in to Merlin and the Captain Britain Corps.

The Chinese myth of Monkey is the obvious one. Already a popular character in fiction, tons of potential.

If I remember correctly there is a Marvel version of the Monkey King.
Anyway the OG Monkey King novel has both Taoist and Buddhist deities/elements. Should be fun to weave them into the MU.

I'd love to see Aztec mythology. When Marvel introduced the Aztec gods in Infinity Gauntlet I was excited because I thought they were going to play a role in the greater MU. I can't recall them showing up anywhere else though.

Yeah there is:

The Inua have guested in Alpha Flight and Snowbird is still active. Maybe do a limited series centered on them with a bit of horror via the Great Beasts.

Wakandan gods

Wakandan gods

Aren't Wakanda gods kinda a mix of gods from other Pantheon? Like Bast is from Egyptian Pantheon.
Kinda like how Atlanteans have Neptune as their patron god?

The Hindu Pantheon.

Sun Wukong probably derives from Hanuman.

I think the protagonist would work best as a lesser god... Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu would be overly powerful to work as a protagonist imo.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t Hindus very protective of their gods? I remember there was a big stink on the xena tv show about how they were depicted.
