27 best Marvel characters that have never appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Have the Wrecking Crew been in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie?

The Wrecking Crew is another group full of physically strong people. They were given powers when their leader Dirk Garthwaite (Wrecker) grabbed an Asgardian enchanted crowbar (yes, it’s silly). Dirk then split that power among the other four members (Brian Calusky became Piledriver, Henry Camp became Bulldozer, and Dr. Eliot Franklin became Thunderball). The four of them became criminals and have battled everyone in Marvel Comics. Wrecker even defeated Thor once. However, he’s also had his lunch handed to him by Luke Cage.

The Wrecking Crew aren’t the kind of villains that could be the driving force of an entire phase. Nonetheless, they’re a team that could provide a lot of content. Like Juggernaut, they can go up against anyone. Unlike him, the Wrecking Crew aren’t heroes. Sure, Wrecker’s done a good deed or two, but he’s still a bad guy. On the other hand, Powerball has become a hero. He helped Steve Rogers in his time of need and T’Challa during the Ta-Nehisi Coates Black Panther finale.

In Marvel Comics, the Wrecking Crew were all guys until Bulldozer was killed and his daughter took his mantle. This writer believes that their origin will change in the MCU. Considering their sex doesn’t add or take away from what they do, why not? It adds inclusiveness to the team right from the start. This writer votes Nia Jax to be a member of the Wrecking Crew.
