some characters are simply too big for
the pages of the comic book I never
imagined I’d meet a human so
complimentary to myself welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten
superheroes that need their own movie
I’m with this city needs for this list
we’re looking at superheroes or
comic-book stories that have not yet
been the star of a theatrically released
motion picture starring in a TV movie or
a made for video movie doesn’t count the
main man’s contracts complete number 10
marbles ahhmm be superheroes are popular
on the screen zombies are popular on the
screen so why haven’t the Marvel Zombies
lumbered into the movie theaters across
the country the premise is pure
cinematic gold
in an alternate reality a deadly virus
is turning the metahumans into the
walking dead with a taste for human
flesh once their food supply on earth is
depleted what can stop them from taking
their super zombified selves into space
and spreading the virus on a cosmic
level well only a three-picture deal can
answer that question number 9 Martian
Manhunter we have to discuss this he’s
big he’s green he can kick criminal but
with the best of them what more does a
person need in a superhero maybe a
little tragic backstory well he’s got
that covered too when did you turn into
a coward he is not a coward men who have
seen battle are often among those who
hold life most dear the origin of John
John’s the Manhunter from Mars has
undergone alterations throughout the
years however in many versions he is the
sole survivor of the Martian race I’ve
already lost one home I made a promise
to protect my new one that fact gives
the character a bit of drama that would
work really well on screen plus with his
shape-shifting abilities he’s a visual
treat for the modern CGI world I’ve read
his mind he’s telling the truth
regardless we have a responsibility to
the millions of people being oppressed
on his world number 8 Power Girl it’s
really important originally conceived as
the counterpart of Supergirl in the
alternate reality known as earth to
power girls origin has changed in a
confusing manner throughout the years
about all that remained consistent was
her distinctive peekaboo costume and
even that got the ax in the new 52 and
borings good isn’t it
whatever her origin the character’s
awesome power set and emotional
complexity would invigorate any film
that’s built around her go
number seven Spectre I am vengeance I am
The Spectre Hey The Spectre was charged
by a mysterious heavenly voice to
eradicate evil as you wish but you’ll
never escape me or thing as such there
could be broad cross demographic appeal
for a movie starring the ghostly
Guardian with his magic based powers and
his unquenchable thirst for vengeance
The Spectre would attract both
traditional superhero fans and horror
flick devotees who can’t kill a dead man
the guilty must be punished for their
crimes
as a matter of fact staying true to the
spirit of the Specter and his penchant
for graphic punishment would almost
guarantee an nc-17 rating number six
Deathstroke battlestations Deathstroke
isn’t exactly what you’d call a good guy
but he is such an awesome character that
he needs his own movie he’s often forced
into a reluctant heroic role and that
makes him an especially interesting
character to bring to the screen
betrayal
destruction revenge we really do think
alike cunning ruthless and brilliant
Deathstroke gains superpowers as part of
a top-secret US Army experiment with his
enhanced skills he is almost an
unstoppable mercenary and assassin
whether playing the villain or the
antihero Deathstroke’s presence means
plenty of action subterfuge and
adventure problem that was vicious
dishonorable and excellent work number
five
Lobo punch so lobos got thangka Lobo
started as a DC parody of Marvel’s
Wolverine an unstable badass with a
tendency towards blood-soaked lunacy so
one more time surrender or die a bounty
hunter from another world he often gives
new meaning to the term over-the-top
tooling around on an awesome
interstellar bike called the space hog
Lobo creates a special brand of darkly
comic hyperactive chaos well time to die
crow though it’s possible that his
outsized personality might be too big
for the silver screen but with the right
actor director combo it could create
some very special movie madness okay big
guy let’s see how much MIT you could
hurry jay-z fan thinks she could take
down the main man number 4 Teen Titans
it’s tempting just to create a film
around Raven the enigmatic empath with
some really serious daddy issues
this party is
everything’s pointless want to talk
about but starting off with the film
featuring the old Teen Titans crew is
probably the way to go the youth that
grew up with the animated version of the
team on TV would jump it seeing them in
the theaters with Nightwing and star
fires halting romance cyborg and Beast
Boy strobe and ring and Ravens dark
night of the soul routine there would be
no shortage of paths to explore on
screen nice intensity yeah have any good
freak outs lately I just got sick of
being pushed around the problem would be
deciding which other members from the
team’s decades-long history to include
let me guess
cyborg pleased to meet you little lady
number three Silver Surfer do we talk
okay so the second Fantastic Four film
was a huge fumble but we can’t blame it
on the surfer oh that is cool
the dude is the essence of cool first
there’s the look with the awesome silver
metallic skin and bizarre but epic
surfboard then there’s his outsider
status he doesn’t belong on earth but he
doesn’t really belong anywhere else and
he’s got that mournful melancholy thing
that’s mixed with a lot of righteous
anger all the to know is that an end
listen just give the project to a
director with an original flair for
visuals and the picture will practically
make itself for the first time since I
became the Silver Surfer do I fully
understand why the universe needs me I
will not allow it to die number two
Nightwing that’s Nightwing he was the
back first sidekick the first Robin if
his mentor Batman can have a whole
string of movies then why can’t
Nightwing catch a break no offense to
the Caped Crusader but Nightwing can do
a lot of what the Dark Knight can do and
without all the brooding need a hand No
plus he’s a generation younger so he
brings extra youth appeal that can’t
hurt at the box office
a Nightwing film to feature the same
kind of detective stories and colorful
villains as a Batman film but can do it
all with a somewhat more relatable lead
character you wouldn’t lose anything in
the action or drama but might gain
something in tone and heart oh bird boy
you’re so much less fun now all grown up
and in your big-boy pants before we
reveal our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions number one black
widow Hayes hammer the biggest female
superhero on the silver screen and she
doesn’t have her own movie talk about
injustice the superhero world is largely
a boys club but Black Widow is the equal
if not the superior of any of her fellow
Avengers
besides her Russian superspy turned
agent of shield back story holds
countless dramatic possibilities for a
film honey pageant ScarJo herself has
proven that she can carry a movie on her
shoulders
come on Marvell you can make this happen
yeah it’s gonna be fun do you agree with
our choices that’s impressive
nothing we haven’t seen before what
other amazing superheroes deserve to
throw their punches on the big screen
