the ranks of this Marvel team may be
ever-expanding
but there are some names we’ll likely
never see join the on-screen roster
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 Avengers members you’ll never see on
the big screen are you excited for
Avengers infinity war
are you wondering who’s gonna bite the
bullet we’ll head on over to mojo toss
where we discuss some theories that have
been rattling around inside our brains
check it out at the link below for this
list we’re looking at characters who
have served on some iteration of the
Avengers in the comics including as
reserve members but who are simply too
odd obscure negatively complex or
downright silly to ever fit in as
members of the MCU version of The
Avengers the characters can have been
hinted at as Easter eggs so long as the
chances of them becoming actual members
remains highly unlikely
number 10 Moon Knight are you seriously
talking to the moon as in the cow jumped
over there is more to the moon than
childish stories with this gritty
street-level crime fighting style and
brooding demeanor this agent of
vengeance would definitely feel
laughably out of place amidst the
wisecracking members of the Avengers a
mercenary turned mentally unstable
vigilante marc spector is known for his
excessive use of force and no-nonsense
attitude when it comes to punishing the
wicked his origin story involves a trip
to Egypt a near-death experience and
possession via the Egyptian god cone
shoe so while he did join the West Coast
Avengers for a time he comes with way
too much baggage for the current
big-screen lineup on the other hand a
Netflix series that’s something we could
see working very well the moon doesn’t
talk well if you are not talking to the
moon don’t know why are you talking to
no one weirdo number 9 wizard
oh-ho wizard cuz you’re fast I always
think wizard care to share your joke
basket God no sir no with a name like
wizard we really need to elaborate as to
why this one time Avenger will never
make it to the big screen the only way
it could work would be as a minor easter
egg in which one of the Avengers gets a
dog that pees everywhere names it
Whizzer
and joked about making it a member of
the team in the comics however he’s
called the Whizzer because he could run
at superhuman speeds meaning you know he
whizzes around after his Golden Age
heroics he spent years as an amnesiac
homeless man before being placed under
the care of
starke which is how he briefly became an
Avenger in the 1970s I have just one
question for you why did you call
yourself the Whizzer hey that’s the
sound I make sure these days it sounds a
little corny but back then it was a
swell name number eight rage
thirteen-year-old boy in the body of a
man with superhuman abilities where have
we heard this one before
oh yeah it’s a character called Shazam
also known somewhat confusingly as
Captain Marvel who also had some
originality issues to the point where DC
sued Fawcett comics over Shazam
similarities to Superman so yeah suffice
to say that rages origin is problematic
which is too bad because in the comics
he’s also very much taken an identity of
his own but after working with the
Avengers for some time the issue of his
age saw him demote it suffice it to say
this is a can of worms the MCU really
doesn’t want to open number 7 Black
Knight back in the day it was a lot
easier to get on the Avengers you didn’t
need to be a god a super soldier or a
world-class spy sure those remarkable
types were indeed welcomed but really
all you needed was a stick and therefore
as the descendant of Arthurian Knight
Sir Percy of scandia scientist Dean
Whitman was more than qualified you’ve
got a winged horse and magic sword too
fantastic that equipment list does more
harm than good to his eligibility for
the live-action Avengers though Thor is
just about all the magical fantasy they
can handle besides did the Avengers
really want to have to build stables at
HQ number 6 swordsman what was it with
the 67 TS Avengers and their interest in
medieval types were villains locking
fair maidens and towers and employing
dragons or were they just trying to fill
some sort of quota of characters from
every period in history this conflicted
villain initially joined the Avengers
with the intention of double-crossing
them but after some time he turned over
a new leaf
and became an honest member unlike Black
Knight however he doesn’t bring any
magic to the table just unparalleled
swordsmanship though he feels utterly
useless in a modern context we do have
him to thank for introducing mantas to
the Avengers in the comics so that’s
something at least the swordsman always
has the last word
you’ll never be an Avenger you lack
honor number five
you’ll Custer honestly your pasta is a
pretty interesting character
unfortunately her backstory is just too
complicated and based on the trajectory
of the Marvel Cinematic Universe the
opportunity to introduce her has already
come and gone
she was a robot created as a partner to
Ultron not seeing eye to eye with his
nefarious ways however she repeatedly
sided with the Avengers who eventually
asked her to become a member
sadly given that the MCU version of
Ultron has already come and gone
and that vision became the Ultron
inspired member of the team it seems
unlikely that any member would repeat
the mistake of creating advanced AI but
hey at least she got a little Easter Egg
number four Squirrel Girl this plucky
Great Lakes Avenger has become somewhat
of a cult fan favorite character perhaps
it’s because she’s so refreshingly good
spirited and positive
she’s been deemed a low threat by the
office of national emergency
but her squirrel powers though not
particularly badass are still pretty
cool she can jump and climb like a
squirrel has superhuman strength a
prehensile tail and the ability to
communicate with squirrels over the
years she served as members of the New
Avengers and the u.s. Avengers but
likely still wouldn’t fit alongside the
original MCU Avengers given that a new
Warriors TV show is in the works we’ll
be seeing Squirrel Girl on the small
screen sooner than we think I could
hibernate for a week number three
super-strong son of a deity he’s like a
Greek for we’ve got one word for you
redundant though Hercules continues to
be a significant albeit plist presence
in the comic books
there is simply no room for him in the
MCU look at how much time effort and
world building went into getting Thor to
make sense within the context of this
shared cinematic universe only for an
original Avenger with enduring
popularity could warrant that sort of
labor even if they wanted to do it
Hercules would require too much legwork
with far too little payoff to make any
sort of sense one mythological God from
one culture is just about all this
franchise can handle we don’t really
need the in comic discount equivalent
number to wonder man he’s a character
with a lot of potential but given the
success of Wonder Woman Wonder Man is
disadvantaged and as far as the MCU is
concerned well that’s where it gets
complicated you see in the comics Simon
Williams became a stuntman an actor in
between stints with the Avengers and
guardians of the galaxy vol 2 James Gunn
brought actor Nathan Fillion on board to
play Simon Williams the actor just not
Wonder Man and those scenes got cut
while he may eventually get the easter
egg he deserves the fact remains that
because of the potential conflict with
DC fan confusion over his name and his
b-list status Wonder Man will likely
never serve as an actual MCU Avenger
before we unveil our top pick here are a
number one sentry can you handle the
level of power that the century brings
to the table the MCU sure can’t honestly
the heroes within the comics really can
either he’s described as possessing the
power of 1 million exploding Suns so
yeah a hero like that doesn’t leave his
teammates with much to do furthermore
Bob Reynolds has an absurdly complicated
comic-book history that involves a lot
of retroactive mind wiping and
unfortunately for him and every other
being in existence serious psychological
issues that render him dangerously
unstable
taken altogether he’s a wholly
unsuitable character for the MCU but a
pretty compelling hero to read about in
the comics so what do you think will any
of the MCU heroes be able to dethrone
