10 Little Known Superhero Teams That Could Make Marvel Millions
Who even likes the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men or Fantastic Four anyway?
Over the many decades that Marvel have been publishing comics, the company has accumulated quite the roster of characters, and with it, a similarly large portfolio of teams.
As such, there are likely numerous superhero groups from the House of Ideas that fans won't have heard of, especially if they aren't an avid reader of the comics.
However, for every well-known team that gets plenty of time in the spotlight, there's at least one that possesses some excellent potential in different media. The characters they feature are usually either ones that fans have already fallen in love with, or are heroes that would be as beloved as Captain America or Iron Man, if they only had the chance to be in the spotlight every once in a while.
The Avengers might be Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but they won't be around forever. The current incarnation featured in the MCU are due for a major reshuffle in the franchise's hotly anticipated fourth phase, and though members can always be replaced, there's more than one way to fill the hole left behind by the inevitable departures of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers...
10. Excalibur
With Disney's buyout of Fox meaning that the X-Men will soon be coming to the MCU, there are plenty of spin-off teams related to that group that could also be fighting alongside the Avengers on the big screen. However, the one that should be prioritised is the UK-based Excalibur, which features the likes of Captain Britain among its ranks.
For a while now, Captain Britain (who is usually seen leading the team) has been touted as a character who should join the MCU, and what better way to introduce him than alongside his closest allies?
It is worth noting, though, that Braddock isn't the only heavy hitter in the group. Among the team's other notable members include Juggernaut, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde and Black Knight, the latter of which seems to be making the jump to the big screen in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame, meaning that Excalibur already has one foot in the door of the MCU.
Plus, with almost of all of Marvel's on-screen ventures focusing on the adventures of stateside heroes, it would be a welcome breath of fresh air to finally see a perspective originating from another area of Earth.
