14. America Chavez

Comic book project: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (in theaters)

This writer will continue to say that America Chavez could be the biggest star in the MCU. Her personality and her powers are big. If Marvel gets it right, she’ll definitely be the MVP of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This writer will go as far as to say that she will continue to do that in any project she’s in. That’s how good America Chavez’s character is.

It’s unknown how much screen time Miss. America will have in the Doctor Strange sequel. Nevertheless, she could have a huge presence in a short amount of time. We’ve seen it happen in multiple movies before.

13. Naomi

Comic book project: Naomi (The CW)

Naomi premiered on The CW on January 11. In one episode, we saw what the show has to offer and we haven’t even scratched the surface for Naomi McDuffie’s potential. We know she’s smart, clever, and very much into Superman. Going into the rest of the series, she’ll display more of her abilities. If Naomi is anything like the comics, the hero’s power level will be off the charts.

Naomi is still a fresh character. This makes it easier for the creative team to mold her into a hero for the series. If the show continues to be as well-received as it has been thus far, some of the things seen on The CW series may become part of her story in the comic books.
