20 Marvel and Disney characters who deserve their own Disney Plus shorts
By Mark Lynch
6. Doop
Doop is the most interesting, mysterious, and busiest character in Marvel Comics. During Wolverine and the X-Men No. 17 (by Jason Aaron), readers saw just how much. Unfortunately, people think he’s lazy. While some mutants only saw him sleeping, it was because Doop was defeating a devil, helping Beast with experiments, sleeping with beautiful people, and so much more.
Doop could be like I Am Groot except a version not suitable for younger viewers.
5. The Moon Knights
Arthur Harrow and Marc Spector weren’t the first avatars of Khonshu. As long as vengeance was required and travelers of the night needed protecting, there were Moon Knights. Who knows when the first Moon Knights appeared? It could have been earlier than anyone realizes. Also, since each avatar’s personality changes their costumes, the creative team could have a blast interpreting them in a series of Disney Plus shorts. Imagine what the first suit looked like.
The Moon Knights’ missions throughout the centuries would be bloody, brutal, and unforgettable.
4. Avengers 1,000,000 BC
Before Iron Man, Captain America, and even Thor, Earth had their own protectors. Odin, the Phoenix, Agamotto, Black Panther, the Ghost Rider (on a woolly mammoth), Star Brand, and the Iron Fist were battling Celestials and more. Each of these heroes were the first of their kind. Who wouldn’t want to see how each hero began and the how and why they came together?
With the exception of Phoenix and Star Brand, the Marvel characters have a lineage that exists in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and can be seen on Disney Plus. For the ones that haven’t, this could be a nice intro to them. This way, fans would have a reference when they’re mentioned or appear in future projects.
