10 Characters That Should Be Added To Marvel's Avengers

10. Shang-Chi

Given the fact that Shan-Chi's about to be catapulted into the mainstream with his MCU debut "Legend of the Ten Rings," there's no better time to include the world's best martial artist into a game about punching people.

Shan Chi would be a great choice for a "Street Fighter" style character, with special combo moves and buttery smooth chain attacks being a good way to provide some decent visual flair. Not that Marvel's Avengers seems to be lacking in that department. Looking at you, Mjolnir.

While Black Widow also seems to be hand-to-hand focused, and Captain America has his shield, it'd be impressive to see a character's move-set be directly inspired by real martial arts, with more intricate and complicated animations. Yeah, Iron Man's great, but it's not exactly difficult to point your hand at something and go "pew."

There's also a wide variety of play-styles Shang-Chi could utilise, considering how in the comics he's known to own a small armory of weapons. From electrified Nunchaku to Chi Bracelets designed by Tony Stark himself, Taskmaster's going to have a hard time copying some of these weird and wonderful designs.
