10 Marvel Super Teams That Should Be In The MCU

An assembly of supernaturally inclined anti-heroes clubbing together to take on more powerful and dangerous magical and demonic threats to the world, the Midnight Sons’ original comics line-up included the son of Satan, Daimon Hellstrom (aka Hellstorm); Jacob ‘Jack’ Russell, the Werewolf By Night; Morbius, The Living Vampire; Jennifer Kale, a sorceress; and at one point, two versions of the Ghost Rider phenomenon.

A Vampire, A Werewolf, A Witch... This Sounds Like A Show I've Already Seen

It's not The Vampire Diaries Redux. We’re talking about a disparate group of very frightening individuals, many of whom might be seen by the general public to be villains or monsters themselves.

Marvel’s Netflix shows have, so far, been characterised by a much more adult tone than the films. A Midnight Sons show would certainly follow along those lines, while delving more into the extra-dimensional, occult areas opened up by Doctor Strange and, to a degree, the Thor movies.

We're talking balls-out horror: fearsome fiends from the blackest pits of Hell, apocalypses, giant-sized curses, cults of murderous demon assassins, you name it.

Right, But... A Vampire... A Werewolf... A Witch...

Fine, fine: we’re basically talking about a show like Supernatural or Buffy The Vampire Slayer, but all grown up, far more bloodthirsty and horrible, and far, far more cynical.

With a hard-edged, horrific tint to the MCU’s usual primary colours, a group of like-minded but basically anti-social loners one step away from being the monsters they put away would make for an eclectic, sinister and gruesome story.
