10 Absurd Comic Book Characters Who Will Never Get A Film
8. Asbestos Lady
Unfortunately Asbestos Lady, along with her colleagues Radium Girl and Aspertame Fellow, was forced into an early retirement by virtue of the fact that she glamorizes a chemical that legit murders people. She hearkens back to a simpler time, when asbestos was the cool new chemical of the future, rather than the poisonous life-sucking personal injury lawyer attractant that it is today.
Her main superpower was that she was a super-smart scientist who designed clothing lined with asbestos so that they would be fireproof. But she couldn't have been that observant of a scientist, given that the negative health effects of asbestos have been documented since the 1920s.
The extremely dated notion of asbestos having a positive use (especially in clothing meant to be worn next to the skin), combined with the fact that she doesn't have any actual superpowers, make it likely that Asbestos Lady will be abandoned as a curiosity of the past rather than a character who will make an appearance in Marvel films any time soon.
