4. Longshot
Longshots origin is a weird one. Birthed in the bizarre and truly unique Mojoverse, Longshot is a mutant that can manipulate probability. Of course, thats a very convenient power to have, but Longshot was but a slave to the Spineless Ones, acting as an action star stuck in a twisted world obsessed with cheap entertainment. The Mojoverse was ruled by the grotesquely obese maniac Mojo, but it wasn't long until Longshot and a small army of slaves finally revolted. Longshot eventually escaped the clutches of the madman, and found himself on Earth. Soon enough, he became a member of the X-Men. Longshot has always had an odd design; 3 fingers and a thumb on each hand, an unnecessary glowing eye and one of the strongest blond mullets in comics. Since his redesign on
X-Factor though, hes finally maintained a pretty neat appearance. Either way, Longshots silly mutant ability and origin would be pretty entertaining to see on the big screen. A movie focusing on the Mojoverse could work, and incorporating a collection of reality game shows that parody real life could be a fun romp. However, lets have
Rain Man but with mutants. Lets see Longshot try his luck in Las Vegas. Sure, its an oddball choice for the list, but Longshot actually has a decent origin. Its totally bizarre, and his powers of luck would make for an interesting storyline. If it ever happens and Longshot does make an appearance in the X-Men cinematic universe, lets just hope that it is without the mullet.
