The Marvel Universe has given us a whole lot of superstars right from the comic books to the point they hit our screens. However, not all of them get to enjoy that moment under the spotlight as they are mostly sidekick to the main characters. In this post, we look at some of the underrated Marvel characters who we believe have the potential to be huge stars on their own.
5. Wong (Doctor Strange)
Most Marvel fans love Doctor Strange, especially with the role he played in the Avengers series. However, in the Doctor Strange movie, there was someone else who carried the show and made it quite interesting.
Wong, who is the right hand man of the sorcerer supreme, has his own powers and special abilities. For instance he has the ability to wield the mighty Dark Dimensions Power, oh let’s not forget his cool portal tricks. We even got to see him take the role of the Sorcerer Supreme in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and he was so cool. Imagine what Wong might be able to do as the main man!
4. Okoye (Black Panther)
While Black Panther was tearing through the hordes of the enemy, his wingman, Okoye ensured that his six was covered. The leader of the Dora Milaje is more than just a sub cast in the whole story, as she showed us throughout her appearances in the Marvel Universe.
In fact, her combat skills and tactical genius earned her the loyalty of the Black Panther. All this points to the fact that she’s a true Wakandan warrior. Let’s also not forget that she refuses to fight with a gun, rather she prefers that she and the Dora Milaje use their spears.
3. Ebony Maw (Avengers: Infinity War)
We saw the introduction of the twisted and chilling member of the Black Order, Ebony Maw, and we all instantly knew he was a formidable warlock. Ebony Maw brings some sort of chill and sinister wit to the show, but don’t think that’s all he has to offer.
As we saw in the Avengers: Infinity War, Ebony Maw made a mockery of Dr. Strange and the Avengers as he effortlessly tore through them. It’s not a surprise that this underrated Marvel villain was the right hand man to Thanos in his bid to rid the world of half its problems.
2. Nebula (Guardians of the Galaxy)
Not many characters get to catch our attention in a star studded, Marvel Universe movie, but Nebula came to the party with the aura. For real, this cold blooded assassin is one you wouldn’t expect to possess that much skill but she gets the job done.
We also get to see some of the reasons behind her actions, as she shares her troubled past and intricate relationship with Gamora. But when it’s time to battle, we see a sophisticated killing machine with her impressive skills and cybernetic abilities.
1. Quicksilver (Avengers: Age of Ultron)
Is the Quicksilver underrated? Well the answer is yes! This character was an absolute delight on the screen in the few moments he gave us on Avengers: Age of Ultron. We believe that he has the potential to do way more than the screen time he has been given.
Most of the time, we have seen Quicksilver as Wanda’s bodyguard. However, he’s more than that. He can rival Flash, and we believe such a character deserves more hype and screen time, but just maybe, the Marvel Universe is more star studded than the DC Universe.
Conclusion
So, there you have it! This article has highlighted some of the unsung heroes of the Marvel Universe who we believe have more potential than the screen time they have been given. Some of these guys are spire badass, and we wonder, what if?
