If you could give a TV show to a street-level hero in the comics who hasn’t been adapted yet, who would you pick?

It is quite likely the live-action Marvel shows we will be getting going forward are most likely going to be street-level projects / Defender projects. With Daredevil Born Again getting a second season soon and possibly a third, Punisher getting a special, and something for Jessica Jones in the rumour mill… which street level superhero would you like to see Marvel adapt next?

The prowler

implodingnerd2026-01-18 21:19

is he a hero?

Obskuro2026-01-18 22:59

Sometimes. One of Peter's oldest foes-to-friends, I think.

Meizas2026-01-18 17:05

A black cat show could be fun

thinman123452026-01-18 17:05

A Spider-man (Miles Morales) origin story. But I'm 95% sure that isn't going to happen.

Affectionate_Gold3702026-01-19 20:17

They would need to pay Sony for the rights to Miles Morales. They only have the rights for Peter Parker (the Tom Holland version). Not impossible, but doubtful.

MethodFantastic46292026-01-18 17:05

Heroes For Hire

Thin_Post_30442026-01-21 01:58

Man. The fact that they didn't do this is one of the greatest missed opportunities ever.

MethodFantastic46292026-01-21 01:59

Agreed

Was that Gray Hulk?

YourInMySwamp2026-01-18 17:08

White Tiger or Spider-Woman

ucjj20112026-01-18 21:41

White Tiger was adapted in Daredevil Born Again

quinn_the_potato2026-01-18 21:46

A standalone of Ava taking her father’s mantle would be good.

YourInMySwamp2026-01-18 21:53

For 5 seconds before being killed off

PleaseRecharge2026-01-19 18:01

As a result of Kamar's tragic passing and the studio knowing his declining health (and later, his death) would make him unable to do reshoots. They had promised White Tiger in the show and so they had to "complete" his story much earlier than anyone wanted to.

YourInMySwamp2026-01-20 01:31

No, the plan for the show was always to kill White Tiger, before Kamar was even cast.

PleaseRecharge2026-01-20 01:32

Yes but his role was much smaller than planned because he passed before re-shoots

Nighthawk. Somebody has to do something to make him cool and popular for a change.

American Eagle.

Squirrel girl, adventures in super baby sitting.

shellexyz2026-01-18 20:05

By the time they get to it, Milana Vayntrub will be too old to play her.

Thin_Post_30442026-01-21 02:56

So, would you want Milana (who was sort of cast already) or Anna Kendrick?

Introverted_Extrovrt2026-01-21 05:38

Yes

labbla2026-01-19 06:14

Hell yeah

n_mcrae_19822026-01-20 06:31

I was coming here to say that.

Bluestained2026-01-18 17:19

Union Jack. We know nothing of the state of the UK in the MCU beyond the wasted use of Olivia Coleman. Oh and that Wales is an independent state.

pigeonwiggle2026-01-20 04:47

i'd opt for Captain Britain ahead. or an MI13 team organization.

blinniejenkins2026-01-21 05:23

Anything Marvel UK would make me happy.

Goldman2502026-01-18 17:20

Squirrel Girl.

chaot72026-01-18 17:24

I’d love to see Hannibal King done right. Vampire detective who gets blood from the blood bank. Could lead into a Blade film!

Senor Magico could be fun. Has his shop in Harlem. Cage special appearance.

I’d like to see another take on Cloak and Dagger. The old show was fine if I remember right but they’re too old now. I think they work better as teenagers.

pierremanslappy2026-01-18 17:35

D-Man would be fun in a Peacemaker type of show.

uncleben852026-01-18 19:11

Complete and absolute shame they wasted him in *Brave New World*

DryReceptacle2026-01-18 20:18

...he was in that?

implodingnerd2026-01-18 21:20

he was. and killed off

DryReceptacle2026-01-18 21:24

Damn, he was a decent character too.

uncleben852026-01-18 21:48

Yep. Cap's military contact that the Leader head-exploded-ed.

It literally could have been any military stand-in. A brand new character even. And they instead chose a character with near 100 appearances, that's been part of the Avengers, and had his own unique run in the comics that would be a brand new and fresh exploration for the MCU - and killed him. Unceremoniously. In his first appearance.

DryReceptacle2026-01-18 22:38

Pretty good actor too. You could tell his scenes were some of the Frankensteined in ones but he was alright, damn.

Minimum_Virus_38372026-01-18 17:42

White Tiger or Blindspot could both be set up as potentially interesting Daredevil sequel/spinoff shows if Marvel wanted to go that route.

A concept that I don't think has a lot of comic history to draw from but could be fertile ground to let a showrunner with a vision make them their own is The Raksha (mutant vigilante team based in Madripoor). There're plenty of villain characters and groups in Madripoor that they could be matched up against, and it would let Marvel develop that corner of the world (both in terms of geography and the mutants as a larger group) and show what life is like at street level somewhere other than NYC. It'd also be a good fit for a more mutant centered MCU after Secret Wars. The X-Men or Wolverine could occasionally pop in or even other characters like Zemo.

6-Pack-Gold2026-01-18 18:12

Rocket Racer could be fun.

CaptHayfever2026-01-18 19:24

Squirrel Girl.

uncleben852026-01-18 19:30

*[True Believers](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/True_Believers_(Earth-616\))* - a group of counter culture ex-agents team up to expose governmental conspiracies. Super dark, gritty, mature

*Man-Wolf* - A supernatural streetlevel show feature John Jameson, former pilot who gets exposed to an alien contaminant and tried to be a hero, but slowly loses his mind and turns into a werewolf. Could feature She-Hulk

And I've had this idea for a while...

*Día de los Deadpool* - On a visit to Mexico, Deadpool accidentally inspires a disgruntled priest to take on his own Deadpool, mantle, Masacre, leaving Deadpool to clean up the mess. Trying to clear his own "sparkling clean" name, Deadpool steps in, but ends up joining with Masacre to clear out the local cartels and street level criminals.

mql2832026-01-18 20:21

This is sounds a hot take for me

But I think Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier series type starring Sebastian Stan would work as a street level with drama storytelling

tungsten_monkey2026-01-19 03:10

Imagine Bucky doing the apology tour for all of his work as winter soldier and trying to right all the wrongs he caused by killing so many people at the ground level across the globe. The scientists, doctors, security guards and truck drivers that he had to go through to get to his high-level targets.

Sigma-Lex-Luthor2026-01-20 03:30

Bucky's been in enough movies and shows, he doesn't need his own series

HappycatAF2026-01-18 20:53

Taskmaster. One more based on comics, not the Black Widow movie.

He has a handler who gives him tasks to infiltrate and or disrupt parts of the MCU, both good and bad parts of it. He’s amoral and just wants to test his skills and get paid.

Evilscratch2026-01-18 21:53

Union Jack, but only with a correct costume... and a few vampires occasionally.

Maybe even "Tales of Union Jack" - adventures from WWI (Falsworth) - modern times (Joey Chapman). If done right, you could even slip in Captain America, Namor, original Human Torch, Whizzer, Miss America, etc.

blinniejenkins2026-01-21 05:28

This is so rich and so do-able. This is my #1. They had Falsworth in Cap 1, and they could build off that.

Obskuro2026-01-18 23:02

Sleepwalker

RE_982026-01-19 01:09

Black Cat.

Bonus points if the show played Black Cat by Janet Jackson in an action sequence lol

ABC_Dildos_Inc2026-01-19 02:44

Power Pak

UnrecognizedHero2026-01-19 02:45

Night Thrasher, could be him recruiting the New Warriors. Or the ”Young” Avengers if that ever actually happens.

AI_WeebKiller2026-01-19 04:30

Not really just a single character, and it would need to wait till the mutants are established in the MCU but I would kill for an X-Factor Investigations series based on Peter David's comic run with Jamie Madrox as the main character!

derf_vader2026-01-19 05:15

Tigra

FixedFun12026-01-19 05:24

Howard the Duck. No, really, the MCU should just do it.

Jessica Drew

SnooFoxes18312026-01-19 18:59

Not Marvel, not actually sure who the counterpart is in Marvel, but The Question from DC deserves a show. A detective noir style, investigation of the week with an overarching conspiracy arc.

Someone let me know who Question's counterpart is, btw.

Affectionate_Gold3702026-01-19 20:28

Marvel doesn't really have their own version of Question, the closest would be Jessica Jones or Dakota North or Moon Knight.

Webs5792026-01-19 21:11

Not exactly street level maybe, but I'd like to see Multiple Man and X-Factor Investigations.

AuteurPool2026-01-20 03:52

I think an adaptation of Superior Foes of Spider-Man would be great. Focus on the lame supervillains in Spider-Man’s rogues gallery as they try to climb the criminal ladder and go from C-Listers to A-Listers. Have the occasional Marvel cameo pop in and out.

pigeonwiggle2026-01-20 04:49

Marvel said they are NOT introducing any new characters for quite some time. they have learned their lesson from the last few years.

but...

New Warriors, please. 90s cast. Night Thrasher, Namorita, Marvel Boy, Speedball, Rage, Nova...

The-Batt2026-01-20 06:51

Machine Man

Thin_Post_30442026-01-21 02:09

You could do a great street-level Ghost Rider series.

Also, Death's Head II or Deathlok would be good.

It'd also be great to get a GOOD version of Cloak & Dagger or The Runaways (although Runaways arguably could be considered bigger than street level).

bindingofandrew2026-01-23 07:18

I've felt for a while that Spider-Man would work better in TV format than movies. He really shines when you add the Slice of Life element in and it's been missing from the movies. But if we're talking people who haven't had an adaptation at all I'd actually push more in the direction of a Heroes for Hire, Superior Foes of Spider-Man, or Tigra. Honestly, any excuse to set up more for a potential West Coast Avengers.

Also, hi Mr. Feige! I'm sure it's hard at this stage to find characters people care about that you haven't used. Must be tough.
