Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor would be bothered by every genius in the Marvel comic book universe, particularly Tony Stark. He’d feel the need to show his superiority and get annoyed whenever he’s defeated – mostly because Tony has all the genius in the world and Lex would hate how he uses it.

The issue would come when Tony doesn’t have a problem with Lex being smarter or the fact that he would simply ignore him when he tells Tony to do more with his intellect. Lex would want a competition and Tony would be too preoccupied with saving the universe and being an icon. A big question is whether or not Iron Man can put Lex in jail or if he can escape like he has for decades.

Black Lightning

Black Lightning would be a perfect fit in Marvel Comics. First, he’s a teacher who cares about his students – this means he’d get along smashingly well with Peter Parker. Second, he’s a proud black man who loves his culture. Luke Cage would see this and become attracted to everything he does. With the two of them protecting their neighborhoods, who’d be dumb enough to attack them?

Lastly, he’s a man with morals. It wouldn’t take long for Steve Rogers to seek him out to make him an Avenger. On that note, Jefferson has the power and principles that would make him the perfect Avenger.
