10 Essential Marvel Villains Not Yet Used In The Movies

3. Proteus

proteus x-men
Marvel Comics

Why He's Awesome: Proteus is the mutant son of Moira MacTaggert, with psionic and telepathic abilities, able to possess humans (almost always killing them when he leaves their bodies), bend the laws of physics, transfer energy and matter, and even destroy a mutant's powers.

His one big weakness? Metal, which can scatter his consciousness temporarily, and also prevent him from possessing anyone with it in their bodies. In other words, he's not a huge fan of Colossus or Wolverine.

How Likely Is He?: Bryan Singer has already been eyeing him up for the next X-Men film, as there's so much that can be done with him visually, but of course, nothing is certain. 6/10
