6. Moonstone

Moonstone is the absolute worst member of this team. Not in terms of powers or abilities. Karla Sofen is just an awful human being. She’d sell out everyone she knows if it meant she’d gain something from it. After that, Karla would betray the person to get something else. Despite knowing this, she always ends up back on the Thunderbolts. She’s even been an Avenger (Norman Osborn’s team).

You can’t have a Thunderbolts squad without Moonstone. She adds most of the drama and the element of betrayal to the team. She also hit the jackpot of powers. Among those abilities are flight, super-strength, and she can become intangible, shooting energy blasts from her hands. This writer all but guarantees she’s part of the team. He also has a theory that she will make her debut in She-Hulk or The Marvels played by Zawe Ashton.

5. Taskmaster

Taskmaster made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Black Widow. Tasky showed all of her skills she obtained from the Avengers by defeating and nearly killing Black Widow, Yelena Belova, and Red Guardian. After the movie ends, we don’t see her again.

It would be a shame if this was the last time Taskmaster appeared in the MCU. However, if she were to return, joining the Thunderbolts would be the perfect place for Antonia to reappear. Then again, we could always see a new Taskmaster, one more like the Marvel Comics version.
