MCU X-Men: 10 Comic Book Storylines Marvel Must Adapt

10. The Killing Dream

If Marvel Studios want to do anything big to differentiate their take on the X-Men property from Fox's then they may be so bold as to leave Wolverine on the shelf; at least for the beginnings of their MCU inclusion. What better replacement for the Adamantium-clawed Canucklehead than his genetic clone and adopted daughter Laura Kinney?

It would be a brave move, and the perfect way to introduce her without retreading the old ground of her origins covered in 2017's Logan would be with The Killing Dream.

Marjorie Liu's solo series for X-23 begins with The Killing Dream, in which X-23 starts having terrible nightmares that could easily be used to tell her past.

This solo adventure would allow X-23 to shine, without having to cover the much darker aspects of earlier outing NYX, in which Laura plays a prostitute for masochistic clients.

Finally, the inclusion of a partner in Gambit would make for a perfect way to show X-23's grittiness while also giving X-Men comics fans a perfect adaptation of Remy Etienne LeBeau.
