Daredevil: 10 Marvel Heroes That Must Be Adapted For TV Next

By Robert Wallis /

10. Runaways

As facts of teenage life go, rebellion is up there with embarrassing autonomic functions and pimples. It usually takes the form of ill-advised fashion choices, underage drinking, general moodiness, and the likes. In the case of Runaways, though, that rebellion is a little more extreme, if understandable. After finding out their parents are part of a evil cabal made up of time travelers, alien invaders, arms dealers, and the like, Nico, Karolina, Molly, Chase, Alex, and Gertrude go on the run €” as well you might if you came across mum and dad performing a human sacrifice. In doing so, they begin to discover their own extraordinary abilities. Teenage angst, very grown-up betrayal, and a telepathic dinosaur called Old Lace suggest that Runaways could bring something new to the MCU. Late last year Kevin Feige said that, while a possible film adaptation had been shelved, the property might yet find a home on the small screen. All we can say is why not now(ish)?
