10 All-New All-Different Marvel Ideas The MCU Should Use

Now that Marvel has the ability to use Spider-Man and related characters in the MCU, it opens up the world to so many different possibilities. There are any number of heroes who have debuted in the Spidey comics over the years - Black Cat, the Prowler, Venom, Spider-Girl, Spider-Gwen, etc.

A great one is also a new one - Silk. Cindy Moon was bitten by the same radioactive spider that gave Peter Parker his powers. As a result, Cindy gained similar powers, but also the ability to create her own webbing. When her powers were out of control, she was locked into isolation by Ezekiel Sims so she would be protected from a group called the Inheritors.

Now out after years, Cindy took up crime-fighting as Silk. Some changes would need to be made, obviously. If you wanted her to have been in isolation, she'd have to be older than Peter in the MCU, and would probably have been a different spider (we're not yet sure exactly how Peter got his powers in the MCU so maybe it could be connected). Or she could be tied in to the Inhumans.

A Silk TV series might be a good idea. Especially since Marvel's Most Wanted never panned out, ABC might be interested in finding something that could compete with The CW's superhero line-up.
