Marvel Phase 4: 10 Mutants Who Should Be MCU X-Men

How this character has been snubbed by the movies for so long is beyond me, but fortunately the MCU can fix this by finally giving Armor her due.

Armor - created by Joss Whedon during his run on X-Men in 2004 - has the ability to project an exoskeleton of incredibly powerful armor that repels most attacks and weaponry, while also giving her great physical strength so she can hit back just as hard.

Armor is what the X-Men send out to protect an innocent mutant from the sentinels because her powers are the only thing that gives her the ability to resist their weapons and pierce through their thick armor. So when the MCU X-Men inevitably have to go toe to toe with the Sentinels, hopefully they'll have a powerhouse like Hisako to throw at them.

And even beyond her powers, which would be amazing to see in live action, Hisako is just an entertaining character. A spunky 13 year old girl who can summon the equivalent of a walking tank at will.
