Infinity War: 10 Likeliest Candidates For The New Avengers

Especially after the (mostly unfounded) feminist critiques against Age of Ultron, you can bet that they’ll be an effort to include more important female characters on the team going forward. Thankfully, they have Carol Danvers waiting in the wings, who's an exciting character to add irrespective of gender.

A pilot transformed by alien technology, she fights for what's right both on Earth and in orbit. As a civilian, her skills as a pilot are incredibly useful and on the subject of her powers, she seems the most fit of anyone to be out in space fighting Thanos as she’s one of the few with cosmic based powers, that is, the standard flight and super-strength.

Based on power and ability alone, Captain Marvel deserves a spot on the team. She’s been a comic member for a while and her upcoming solo film should tie in easily considering how closely it’s being released to Infinity War and their mutual dependence on aliens interacting with Earth.
