Disney owning Marvel has created all kinds of new opportunities for their deep roster of comic book characters. Fans have witnessed the growth of one of the greatest cinematic universes in the history of movies. They also expanded their roster of TV shows onto networks, cable channels and Netflix, most of which is now gone thanks to Disney+.

Since launching their streaming service, Disney has slowly shut down TV projects with other companies. This was especially unfortunate in the case of the Marvel series on Netflix, which were, excluding one specific character, great.

Iron Fist, everyone is looking at you.

But while some fantastic shows have been lost, there is huge potential for new ones on Disney+. Keeping in mind that nothing has debuted yet, several series are either announced or are in progress. These new shows also include the participation of the MCU film actors. For the most part, those actors and their corresponding character have been kept away from Marvel TV series in the past. This will be something new and different.

But that does beg the question of where to go next. Which Marvel characters have earned their own Disney+ series?

10. Storm

With the purchase of the vast majority of Fox's assets came licensing rights to a variety of characters, including the X-Men. The first member of Marvel's preeminent mutant team to get their own series should be Storm. Her importance as a leader of the X-Men cannot be understated, nor can the level of power she possesses. Her weather manipulation abilities put her on par with pretty much anyone. Plus, her backstory is incredibly engaging.

Ororo Munroe is the child of a Kenyan princess and an African-American photojournalist. She split her time as a child between Harlem and Cairo. When her parents were killed, she became a thief in Cairo and was worshiped as weather goddess in the Serengeti before being recruited by Professor X. That's a story worth playing out.

Plus, there's also a fan favorite arc that leads Storm to marry Black Panther. Though their marriage doesn't work out in the end, an on screen relationship between Ororo and T'Challa would be outstanding.
