MCU: 9 X-Men Heroes Who Marvel Studios Should Introduce First, @theDIRECT.com

By Russ Milheim, Posted: January 16, 2023


The X-Men have a long list of characters that fans are dying to see enter the MCU, but which should Marvel focus on first?

Marvel Studios creative executive Nate Moore stated in late 2022 that the company "might be a few years out from the X-Men" in the MCU. However, that hasn't stopped the universe from mutant-centric teases.

The first time an MCU project confirmed the existence of a mutant was Kamala Khan in Ms. Marvel’s finale. Then Black Panther: Wakanda Forever came along and casually revealed Namor as being one himself.

The integration of the X-Gene has only just begun—but moving forward, there are very specific characters who deserve priority on making it into the MCU.

X-Men Marvel Studios Should Consider First

Honorable Mentions


Marvel

Before getting to the core of this list, it’s best to start with three important, honorable mentions: James Howlett aka Wolverine, Charles Xavier aka Professor X, and Erik Lehnsherr aka Magneto.

Why aren’t these on the core list? Well, because they are obvious choices for Marvel Studios to bring in, and they will almost certainly make the cut.

But who knows—maybe Marvel will surprise everyone and give those insanely popular characters some space after their former actors likely have a last hurrah in Avengers: Secret Wars.

If Marvel Studios does throw a curve ball and avoids creating a new version of someone such as Wolverine, exploring the idea of a grown-up X-23 would be an interesting direction to go in. ...

5.) Iceman


Marvel

A common theme on this list is all the potential many of these mutant characters have that could still be tapped into.

So what’s so special about Iceman? Well, for one, many might be surprised to learn he’s an Omega-level mutant. Yes, that's right—he’s tangled with Celestials, has literally frozen over parts of Hell itself (did someone say Mephisto?), and can control his powers on a molecular level.

Then there’s the semi-recent addition to Iceman’s character in the comics, which revealed that the character is gay. This change, in particular, was officially made in 2015’s All-New X-Men #40. Including Bobby in the MCU’s first wave of mutants could be an important step for representation in the superhero space. ...

Yay, Iceman!

I hope he makes it as one of the ones chosen!

All of the original X-Men were involved in the Dark Phoenix Saga except for Bobby Drake, who was too busy jerking it to professional wrestling.

Poor Bobby, 2022 really left him out in the cold, even worse than AleX & Lorna in some ways. I feel any momentum he had built-up comin' outta '21 & into last yr., has pretty much evaporated, now.

Hopefully, TPTB@MARVEL will actually deliver on their promise(s) for the Iceman this time...

New year... JDW said Bobby is one of the big characters to watch in 2023 in his recent X-Men Monday so let's hope that pans out for our favorite icicle.

"...and Stefano Caselli 🙏 beautifully illustrates...
WHY you shouldn't make an enemy of Iceman. A really wild 2023 is gonna hit like a ton of bricks in X-Men."



... Love seeing [THIS] Iceman and I hope big things are indeed on the way for him.

Also this interesting tweet from Duggan:
https://twitter.com/GerryDuggan/stat...31107871145984

"We had our regular Krakoa zoom today and went over details for Fall Of X that have been ratified since Marauders had the placeholder title of "Buccaneers". We're still executing on major outline beats from...2018. Tray tables up, folks. Hope you survive the experience."...

I have a feeling they're about to get back on the main road and that's what Fall of X is all about. All I know is that I'm excited!

... FINALLY, we seem to be pickin' up right from where Marauders left him, and when I was A LOT more eXcited about his future prospects. Hopefully, this means Duggan will stick to what was workin' & already had Bobby ridin' his BEST, high wave of recognition, IN YEARS!!

and MAKE 2023 COUNT & BE most MEMORABLE, to make up for any lost ground he'd gained.

Hope he's gonna be okay, he's soundin' awful overconfident.

I mean he is an Omega Level mutant who's practically immortal and almost caused an Ice age at one point not sure if that counts as overconfident or just confident lol

I was referring more to the way it's being shown in the story, not so much what we know he's capable of. I mean, practically immortal is being almost, but not quite. It's for like... an all intents & purposes kinda thing or a... as far as we know. Him saying it though, then gettin' stabbed, just seems like a set-up for... incoming humbling, lesson to be learned, comin' right up. There's supposedly somethin' different about these Brood now, too, don't forget. They could be enhanced in ways they weren't before, and far superior to past versions. Unfortunately, Bobby's powers don't offer him plot armor, and he's not immune to having his own... kryptonite moment(s). And this just makes it seem like he's due, to me.

Better horniness than constant complaining about the misuse of how Iceman should be the center of everything X.


Also, apart maybe for Pacheco's twunk Iceman, I would NOT qualify him for beefcake. Especially as a teenager.

LOL was that about me or a reference to somebody else? I thought I was pretty good about keeping my complaints about Bobby's usage seasonal. I've only done one so far this year, lmao.

Can't be you. I think broad assumptions are frequently made about posters whose user names reflects their favorite character, because many a poster prone to such practice is typically prone to such behavior -- that of either constant complaining or the exhaustive insistence of their favorite being superior to other characters in all facets.

You're an exception. Per usual.
