MCU X-Men: 10 Characters Who Must Appear (And Who Should Play Them)
9. Gentle
Why They Should Appear:
Another one of the characters who was prevalent in X-Men Red, Nezhno Abidemi is a mutant who, at the peak of his power, is able to rival the Hulk, making him one of the seemingly many vastly powerful X-characters. Though, this time at least, there's a slight caveat.
Whenever he uses his abilities, a psychological trauma is triggered, from the abuse he endured as a child, causing him great pain, meaning the use of his powers is not exactly his first priority, hence the codename of Gentle.
This trait made for some fantastically emotional moments in the aforementioned Red series, with Nezhno having to overcome his past ordeals with the help of X-legend Jean Grey, something which could very easily be translated across to a film that contains both.
The character is also half Wakandan, which presents the perfect opportunity to tie into Black Panther.
Who Should Play Them:
Like most good superhero portrayals, the best pick for who should play them is usually someone who is more unknown, yet still greatly talented, a set of guidelines that Michael Ajao perfectly fits.
