10 Marvel characters that frankly should have been in the MCU by now

4. The Power Pack

Listen, Marvel. I know you read all my stuff, I see you. I have a quarrel with you.

Y’all keep taking existing characters like Squirrel Girl and the like and de-aging them until their stories don’t make sense just so you can get content for your younger kids. YOU HAVE YOUNGER HEROES. The Power Pack.

If you don’t know who the Power Pack are, you’re honestly kinda missing out. They’re four siblings who thanks to an alien all got special powers. And these aren’t just your run-of-the-mill superpowers, these are the kinda powers a S.T.E.M. teacher would lose their mind over. Let’s talk about it.

You got Alex, A.K.A. Zero-G, who can manipulate the gravitation pull on anything including himself. You got Julie, A.K.A. Lightspeed, who is capable of Lightspeed flight and, occasionally, teleportation. You got Jack, A.K.A. Mass Master who can spread the space of his molecular structure until he’s a mist or shrink by compressing his molecules making him super dense. And finally, you got Katie, A.K.A. Energizer, she’s the youngest of the kids and can take a physical object, break it down into pure energy, and store it in her body until she decides it’s time to fire it back out of her in the form of a massive energy ball.

Oh, and if that’s not cool enough, they also have a shared life force where if one is in a bad way, the others can heal them as long as they stick together. Which is the perfect story device for a Power Pack movie.

There is even a perfect writer for it, Marc Sumerak. I’ve had some issues with the boy in the past as Marvel keeps putting him on their games and they…(see: Marvel Alliance 3, Marvel Future Revolution, etc) but he had, without a doubt, one of the best runs on Power Pack. Despite it being an all-age kids’ book, this dude got in there and created a compelling story I enjoyed reading as much as my kids. It would be perfect.

Now, on the other end of the spectrum…
