Deep-Cut Marvel '80s Characters The MCU Wouldn't Dare Use

No. Troll Associates is not about internet commentators living in basements, pounding Red Bull and Cheetos daily.Troll AssociatesThese trolls drag their knuckles. They embody every wild idea from 1980s comics.

Their names all start with Ph-. Members include Phit, Phlegm, and Phlopp. This sounds great.phatDoes this work for the MCU now?

As an alien from another planet, Gosamyr exists.GosamyrGosamyr lives under a bad alien ruler.Spyder rules Gosamyr. She tries to escape him.Gosamyr is beautiful. She forces empathy and seduction in others.

Gosamyr crosses comic moral lines. The boys of the New Mutants all fall for her. She even flirted with eight-year-old Jack Power; he avoided her powers. Watch out for stranger danger!

Look up! Is that a bird? Is it a plane? No, it is…Comet ManComet Man has a silly name. He also borrows his origin from other comic book characters.

Astrophysicist Stephen Beckley's spacecraft hits a comet. He dies. An alien named Max takes his molecules, rebuilding his body with superpowers. This sounds like a mix of Fantastic Four, Captain Marvel, Nova, and Green Lantern.Green Lantern allone bad idea?

Coldblood-7 appeared in the MCU under his real name, Eric Savin.Eric SavinThe character debuted in Iron Man 3.Iron Man 3,acts as Aldrich Killian's Extremis-powered muscle.

The character died after the movie. Coldblood-7 might revive him, but the copycat concept makes that unlikely. This mirrors Alex Murphy's backstory inSavin was killed in the army. A team revived him as an enhanced cyborg, but they erased his memories and used him as a killer. He looks like what The CW would make for RoboCop.Savin was felled in duty. A team made him an enhanced cyborg, removing his memories and using him as a killing machine. He looks like The CW's RoboCop.

Saying something in French sounds better. Marvel made Alain Racine, maybe that is why.Alain RacineLe Peregrine, AKA.

He has a flight suit with wings, like a Falcon, and he is French.Sacré bleu! That is the end of this deep-cut character. Does the MCU need another winged superhero, especially with the X-Men's Angel debuting soon?

Forget the New World Order sub-faction in WCW. Marvel had the original Wolfpack in the comics.WolfpackArhoo!

This group's start mirrors other young teams. A mysterious man finds young people with powers and different personalities. He turns them into a crime-fighting outfit. The catch? They all wear leather jackets. Why? Think about the '80s and '90s comic book obsession with jackets.

Hell's Kitchen is not safe. Daredevil knocks out lights constantly; there's no need for a safe place!The group of skateboarding kids known as the Fatboys.The Fatboys love skating through this hellhole and trying to be heroes like the Man Without Fear. They act as meddlesome as the Mystery Inc. crew.

Imagine the MCU with the Fatboys as a group of young people now? One member is Eightball, making him sound like he belongs in.Breaking Bad.Instead.

The comic book industry once used harsh stereotypes, creating racist character depictions. While changes have happened, history keeps certain characters we cannot forget. One example isAbdul Qamar.Abdul Qamar, also known as the Arabian Knight.

Arabian Knight gets powers from Desert Gods. He also has a magical scimitar and a flying carpet. This feels incredibly silly and annoying.

A baby alien in a floating cradle? This sounds like Grogu from The Mandalorian.The Mandalorian.Marvel made its own twisted version of this idea: Joyboy.Joyboy.Joyboy is not like Grogu; he looks like a baby with a hemorrhoid. The little guy resembles a mustache-less Doctor Robotnik as a baby.

Joyboy possesses the wicked power of wish fulfillment. He grants wishes, but he never makes it simple. He ensures the wish makes people regret wanting it. If you wish for pizza, Joyboy adds pineapple and banana to screw with you.

Wolverine has lived many lives. Naturally, he has children. Daken and X-23 are his most known kids. He also has another baby boy namedErista..

During a trip to the Savage Land, Wolverine fights a dinosaur. He has a tryst with the leader of the Tribe of Fire, Gahck. Since Logan's powers don't cover birth control, Gahck becomes pregnant. Little is known about Erista or his mutant abilities, but this character seems like he will wait if the MCU features any of Wolvie's kids.

Marvel Editor:We need a new character as cool as Doc Ock, but with an animal look like the crocodile villain in Batman.Batman.With Doc Ock and Killer Croc already famous, Doc Croc seems like a dead end in the list of deep-cut Marvel '80s characters the MCU wouldn't use.

Marvel Intern:A doctor who is also a crocodile.

Marvel Editor:Say no more!

That didn't happen exactly like that, but it might as well have since.Joshua N'DingiJoshua N'Dingi turns into a small crocodile in the comics at some point. The comic book medium lets every wild idea exist without question. Initially, he was just scarred from an explosion, but Marvel Comics made him a crocodile because that name doesn't appear often enough.

In the 1980s, many companies made characters to sell toys before thinking about their backstories. Remco did the same withThe Saga of Crystar, which looked a lot like a mix ofHe-Man and the Masters of the UniverseandThunderCats. The clincher is that Crystar was made before those shows, so it was ahead of its time.

The story involves an evil demon lord who wants to take over a kingdom (Crystalium). Heroes (Crystar and the Crystal Warriors for Order) must stop him. However, the toys failed to sell to kids, and the comic book did not sell well either. The Marvel Cinematic Universe will likely not seek out its own deep-cut He-Man soon since it already has Thor and the Asgardians.
