The MCU is known for being very faithful to the spirit of the comics. But sometimes he dared to create his own characters. These, with more or less effort, eventually won over the audience.
Undoubtedly, those at UCM are the ones who have done the best to bring superhero comics to the big screen. Kevin Feige’s pharaonic vision embraces the world of cinema/show and shamelessly embraces the craziest concepts in comics.
But it was always looking for addition, never subtraction. That’s certainly why they introduced some of their own characters that didn’t come out of the vignettes from time to time. And they did it so efficiently that some of them even ended up in their own comics.
Next, a selection of the most memorable characters created at UCM:
10. President Ellis
With fiction, corrupt imaginary presidents can point to the embarrassment of real presidents without legal problems. and like a movie Iron Man 3I needed something like this with such a devastating and critical political message.
President Ellis is someone who invents wars around the world to strengthen arms companies. All of this will definitely make more than one sound. However, he is also called Ellis (now infamous for his sexual harassment of various victims over the years) Warren Ellistheir authors ExtremeThe story of Iron Man, which they inspired for the movie.
9. Erik Selvig
The sound of experience amid all this confusion and chaos. this is the character he plays stellan skarsgard inside Thor† It had great development potential, but remained half-baked.
His great virtues? Explore the 616 universe in a unique way and, of course, walk around Stonehenge naked. To date, he is the only resident of the ICC who has managed to achieve such a feat.
Regardless, Stellan Skarsgard is such a sad asset how wasted it is. I hope it somehow makes its way back to the MCU.
8. Darcy Lewis
character Kat Dennings There was a lot of criticism back then. It was a comedic device that haunted those looking for something epic and serious in movies. Thor† As well as breaking the tone with a humor caricature† But given the twist the Thor movies have taken since then ragnarokultimately agree with those who like the character.
The character was given a second chance. IOnce a friend of Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster, she got her PhD and eventually got multiple chestnuts out of the fire. wandavision† And it is possible to cross the fingers to make it appear again.
7. Melinda May
Ok yes, this can tread on slippery ground. And after Marvel TV’s takedown, that’s what he was proposing. SHIELD Agents It is not left in anyone’s country. However, this does not mean that he had more than one sign while he was alive.
Most importantly, the characters had enough charisma to make the leap into comics. And the most interesting was undoubtedly agent Melinda May. He was the strongest of the group but also implied that he was always ahead. She was also a morally gray character.
It served to put the hitherto unknown Ming-Na Wen on the map. The actress who voices Mulan, and at her respectable age, seems to have more energy than any young actress.† pyour charisma in front of the camera.
6. Fitzsimmons
Like May, this pair of scientists was one of the best things to come out of the show. The chemistry between the two was in different approaches that put them in the same situation. This resulted in thousands of messages being sent for them to be together. Classic TSNR. But it was dissolved and they are even married.
But either way, some of the best episodes of the entire series were those that focused on the two of them. And actors always gave status† Undoubtedly, they have enough virtues to be remembered.
Moreover, How can a scientist with a passion for monkeys not be?
5. Louis
epic ant man It wouldn’t be the same without a charismatic cast. And among the giants appearing in every scene, Michael Peña managed to win the love of his audience. His character shines in his own light, thanks in part to his legacy. Edgar Wright† Chaotic montage sequences are a clear legacy of British style when trying to say something.
Paul Rudd is Scott Lang’s main ally and one of the characters whose presence makes every scene beautiful. Give us a spin.
4. Trevor Slattery
One of the most controversial decisions of the ICC was none other than making the public hesitate by giving the anticlimactic The Mandarin. He is the notorious foe of Iron Man, and the saga is built around the anticipated confrontation. While it’s true that he was a character largely a product of his time and in need of rediscovery, the version played by Ben Kingsley was a pitcher of cold water.
Besides that, he saved himself on his last comeback. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. He’s a talented actor, and he manages to give a character a lot of presence that would have been much more pathetic without him. That movie earned him his little reputation in the MCU.
3. Daniel Sousa
Agent Carter creation came from the mind that gave the Captain America trilogy. If there’s anything more or less canonical within the MCU of the entire Marvel TV era (sorry). daring), it is precisely this series that takes place in the days after the Second World War.
The Adventures of Peggy Carter tells the story of SHIELD’s founding, but it also had time to develop supporting characters like Howard Stark. They also introduced a Jarvis that was later recorded in Endgame. But the most intriguing character was undoubtedly the main character’s love interest. Despite his physical problems, he is a modest, honest but adventurous cop. Everyone wants to have a Daniel Sousa on their team.
2. Senator Stern
A case similar to Ellis’s. This senator is named Stern by the writer Roger Stern, the legendary screenwriter of one of the best eras of the era. Avengers† It was about a man who asked Iron Man to turn all his technology over to the government as it could be potentially dangerous in private hands. He clearly didn’t like it. And it was later discovered that he was a member of Hydra.
Corrupt politicians? Nothing special. He was played exclusively by Garry Shandling, one of America’s most respected comedians.† He didn’t joke much during his performances, but his input will always be appreciated. The world still mourns his death…
1. Phil Coulson
First place couldn’t go to anyone else but Coulson. And it is a character of great importance to UCM in the first phase of UCM. From being just another character in a suit to why the Avengers decided to face threats together. How is this possible?
Well, for the heart he put Clark Gregg to character. He went from cute to ironic with surprising ease. Despite little, he won the love of fans so much that they gave him his own spin-off of being the leader of his own team.† His last appearance was in Captain Marvel, which we must remember, set in the 1990s. But is he still dead, according to Feige? Time will tell, but unfortunately everything indicates that this is the case.
Bonus track: JARVIS
The good old Jarvis exists in a version similar to the one mentioned above in the comics. However, the MCU introduced an AI interface for Tony Stark that deserves a separate mention. with his voice Paul Bettany He managed to put more weight on this elusive creature until he became Vision. And the rest is history.
Striking Jennifer ConnellyMarried to Bettany, he did the same with Spider-Man’s smart suit in one of his best scenes. Spider-Man: Homecoming† And it’s a real shame that his existence remained there.
The best the MCU can do is bring in more new characters. This helps it have its own identity and feels like a world that will always work on its own terms, no matter how committed it is to the comics. And that’s it Marvel Studios is your own brand.
