5 Marvel Comics Heroes Who Are Currently MIA
Holding out for a hero...
The post-Secret Wars Marvel Comics landscape is a weird place to read, let alone inhabit. Some heroes have been rejuvenated, some have been replaced, others have joined new teams and some have even returned from the dead. However, not every superhero in the Marvel Universe has enjoyed an update, as several of them haven't even been seen since the soft reboot of the multiverse.
Characters rotate in and out of the spotlight all the time, so it's not unusual for heroes to take a leave of absence now and then. But in some cases it seems as though certain heroes never existed.
We've seen Marvel greatly reduce their hero rosters with soft reboots in the past, a prime example being the reduction of mutants following House of M.
The issue is that following Secret Wars, not everything was reset. Major happenings such as Civil War or Avengers Vs. X-Men are still considered canon, so where are some of the characters that were integral to the stories or key members of teams prior to the reboot?
Brief mentions in passing and sometimes no mention at all, some of our heroes are still unaccounted for.
5. Bug
Bug is one of the Guardians of the Galaxy we're yet to see in the MCU and we haven't seen him for a while in the comics either. What is odd about both of those things is that he's been present in most of the important Guardians of the Galaxy story arcs prior to their cinematic debut, including Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest.
Bug hails from the Microverse and possesses incredible athletic ability. He can stick to walls, communicate with other species who have antennae and, while his eyesight is above average, it is further enhanced by his helmet. He's often seen fighting with a staff like some sort of Gambit/Spider-Man hybrid.
The most unfortunate part of Bug's absence from the Guardians post-Secret Wars is that James Gunn stated in an interview that he was in a previous iteration of the first Guardians of the Galaxy film's script. Had he been included, he might still be around.
