Marvel's Avengers: 10 Heroes The Game MUST Include
4. Quicksilver
Marvel Comics
Of course, Scarlet Witch isn't the only mutant to have served on the Avengers. Her brother Pietro - better known to readers and the moviegoing public as Quicksilver - is just as key a member as she is, and one whose skill-set would also work brilliantly in the upcoming Avengers game.
Super-speed is a tricky thing to get right in video games, and it's likely why The Flash failed to make it to consoles over a decade ago with his cancelled title. However, the emphasis on movement in the upcoming game would seemingly create the opportunity for super-speed done right, with Thor already seen zipping between enemies in footage, and Iron Man soaring through the air with his armour.
Quicksilver could be so much fun done right, especially when you factor in how his move-set could compliment other Avengers. He could create weather effects, scout ahead for enemies and do all sorts in various engagements. Plus, what's a superhero team without at least one speedster?
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
