5. Mister Gryphon

Introducing Mister Gryphon would present the MCU with an opportunity to explore a character unlike any other. Mister Gryphon, a version of Kang who stays in the 21st century as a businessman, demonstrates a different kind of cunning and strategic thinking, contrasting sharply with other variants of Kang who are more prone to being villains and combative.

Mister Gryphon’s corporate prowess would be a refreshing distraction from the typical physical battles that superheroes often face, showing a different kind of struggle against power and influence. Seeing the Avengers or other superheroes navigate corporate deceit and political shenanigans would add a fresh, engaging layer to their stories, and provide a context for exploring real-world issues of corporate influence and ethics within the MCU.

Another edge Mister Gryphon would give to stories would be the fact heroes would have to deal with an enemy who is not just physically formidable, but also excels in manipulation, the arts of deceit, and strategy in the corporate world. This could lead to fun, refreshing, and unexpected alliances, betrayals, and plot twists. Mister Gryphon’s unique position as a businessman with knowledge of the future would make him a wild card in the MCU: unpredictable and always several steps ahead of the heroes.
