Strange Comic Book Characters Who Probably Won't Make It Into The MCU

Taking an ordinary word and misspelling it to make a codename sounds comic-booky. Maggott’s real name, Japheth, is almost strange. His mutant powers are even stranger.Maggott hasa digestive system.two sentient “maggots” replaced it. These maggots leave his body to find food before returning. This power is gross. It puts him on the list of “These are the most useless powers ever..” The maggots have names: Eany and Meany.

Hellcow was once a prizeddairy cow named Bessie.She managed her own business in 17th-century Switzerland. Then Dracula drained her blood and turned her into an undead heifer.

Hellcow is now immortal. She still craves mammalian blood of all kinds. Howard the Duck, her main rival, seemingly killed Hellcow. However, she returns to adventure with Deadpool.Hellcow only associates with the best.

A Hellcow appearance in the MCU would look terrible.

Her name references the Rolling Stones. Her body is full, and her head is a smooth, red globe. This is Ruby Thursday, and she is weird. Ruby’s head can detach and crawl on tentacle legs. This is great.

The villain's real name isThursday Rubinstein. (no, seriously). She has been around for over 40 years. She looks more like a horror film character, but she keeps appearing in comics. She always plays the faceless femme fatale role.

The Mandrill is a problematic character. Jerome Beechman created The Mandrill. This mutant grew up looking like the baboon-like mandrill. He gained a creepy power: the ability toMandrill emits a pheromone.that lets him control women.

The Mandrill uses this power to keep women under his control forever. He does all the awful things you might imagine now. When someone escapes his stench, they experience severe withdrawal. This character belongs in the past.

Not every promotion works. The NFL and Marvel Comics seem like odd partners. But the two companies teamed up to create NFL Superpro, a football superhero inserted intoNFL Superpro shows actual Marvel continuity..

Phil Grayfield was an NFL star. He suffered a career-ending injury saving a child. After the NFL, Grayfield got sprayed with chemicals, making him invulnerable. This inspired him to fight crime as NFL Superpro. He fights villains like The Calculator, Girth, and The Almighty Dollar.

The almighty dollar opposes this cash grab.

The Orb looks exactly like him: a guy with aOrb has a giant eyeball for a head.This mercenary has no known real name and no powers besides enhanced sight.

Writer Jason Aaron favors the Orb, so he often puts him in titles Aaron writes. This happens in the crossover "Original Sin".The Orb took one of The Watcher’s eyes and grafted it to his chest. Now, with two eyes, he should seem less creepy.The Orb ended up with one of The Watcher’s eyes, which he grafted to his chest. Now he has two eyes; he must be less creepy.

A character's name sometimes makes them ridiculous; Doctor Bong is one such character.Doctor Bong's real name is Lester Verde.He comes from the pages of classic Howard the Duck comics, which were highly satirical.Doctor Bong comes from classic Howard the Duck comics.Those comics were highly satirical.

Doctor Bong is an adult man wearing a giant bell on his head. His left hand is a big metal ball; he combines them to create "sonic vibrations" that affect opponents in various ways.

Doctor Bong earned a doctorate in psychology recently. He tried to psycho-analyze heroes like Deadpool, achieving little success. The MCU will suffer by including Doctor B.

Doop might look like a copy of Slimer from Ghostbusters.Doop looks like a copy of Slimer from Ghostbusters.However, Doop is a valued member of the X-Men mythos.Doop is a cherished member of the X-Men mythos.Fans and in-universe characters love Doop. Doop’s beginnings are quite unclear.Doop's origins are murky.Some say the US government created Doop during the Cold War.

Doop has power that seems limitless. He conjures whatever ability he needs for any situation. He is also a great lover, shown by his successful affairs with creatures of all sexes and species. Doop first appeared as a cameraman in X-Statix.Doop first appeared as a cameraman in X-Statix.He has been loosely connected to the X-People since then. However, Doop probably will not follow them to the MCU.

US Archer sounds like a mix of Captain America and Hawkeye, but he is much worse. Ulysses Archer was a regular trucker who got an experimental alloy on the top of his skull after a crash.Ulysses Archer got an experimental alloy on the top of his skull after a crash.This gave him the power to send radio frequencies straight to his brain.This ability became much less impressive after Bluetooth was invented and radio died.

Archer then tricks his US-1 semi with weapons and drives off to fight crime. Eventually, he takes the truck to space to fight cosmic crime, which seems like a natural step for his character.

The trickster god is Loki.Loki is the trickster god.Loki, a known lover of reptile and amphibian pranks, pulled the ultimate gag on his brother Thor by turning him into a frog.Loki pulled the ultimate gag on his brother Thor by turning him into a frog.While Thor hops around Central Park, he meets another frog transformation victim: Simon Walterson, a former football star now known as Puddlegulp.

Thor and Puddlegulp fight rats, and Thor leaves a piece of Mjölnir.Thor leaves a sliver of Mjölnir.Throg turns into a god. Puddlegulp lifts the sliver, giving him the power of Throg, Frog of Thunder. Throg usually stays in Central Park, guarding his lily pad friends, but he helps Thor in fights when needed.

Slapstick started as Steve Harmon, a normal human. Then, he became aliteral living cartoon.A trip through a carnival funhouse mirror changed him. Harmon became Slapstick, gaining the ability to use cartoon physics in the real world.

Slapstick is a cartoon in every way. He can summon huge mallets easily. He also lacks genitals. This makes Slapstick a bit unhinged. He hangs out with Deadpool and hisMercs for Money.Slapstick has only one fourth-wall-breaking hero for theaters. Deadpool has locked down things.

Deadpool has locked down things; Slapstick only gets one fourth-wall-breaking hero in theaters.

Bi-Beast has one of the weirdest comic designs: a face on top of another face. Bi-Beast is not a beast. He is actuallya giant android.A race called "Bird People" made Bi-Beast. He possesses immense power, fighting the Hulk and Thor. The Bird People did great work!

The Whizzer is in the rare "triple threat club" in comics. This club features a terrible name, a terrible costume, and a terrible origin. The jokes about his name work, especially with his yellow outfit.

Robert Frank's story iseven more ridiculous.Robert Frank looks more ridiculous than he appears. He debuted in 1941 and teamed up with Captain America during the war. Robert Frank got his speed powers from meeting a venomous snake. Believing snakes and mongooses are natural enemies, bystanders gave Frank mongoose blood. This logical move gave him superspeed. Maybe this character isn't so ridiculous.

Mojo has a whole alternate dimension.The Mojoverse.This dimension is named after Mojo and holds his media empire. Mojo is a disgusting blob. He moves on insect-like robot legs and looks generally hideous.

Mojo's personality is worse. He likes kidnapping beings from the multiverse. He forces them to fight to the death for his own amusement. This brought Mojo into conflict with the X-Men, who beat him. They did this before Mojo made toddler-sized clones of them for future "reality" shows.

Swarm is a character whose oddness makes sense even with a simple description: he is asentient swarm of Nazi bees.Swarm was once Fritz von Meyer. He was a regular, human Nazi. He escaped justice after World War II by fleeing to South America to study bees.

Von Meyer finds a nest of hyper-intelligent, meteor-mutated bees. They kill him but spread his consciousness across their hive mind. Swarm, the mass of fascist bees, is born. Writers bring him in comics when they want a cheap shot.

Not everyone gets a superpower. Some suckers just become glorified monkeys. Martin Blank became a mutant; his ability lets him resemble abarely-anthropomorphized gibbon.This is quite unfortunate.

The Gibbon beats the average human in strength and agility. He also has excessive hair. The Gibbon usually plays a villain with mild seriousness, but he starred inMarvel Apes.This story had the Gibbon travel to an alternate dimension where everyone was an ape.
