Thanos of Titan.
The Infinity Gauntlet series had him fighting the Avengers, X-Men, Silver Surfer, and even the abstract concepts of the Marvel Universe. He starts out by killing half of the sentient life of the universe with a snap of his fingers in order to seduce Death herself. The remaining heroes assemble an assault group with nothing left to lose and everything on the line. Hard to get more epic than that!

wonder woman
wonder woman is arguably the strongest image of female empowerment in modern mainstream comics, and deserves a great movie that passes that sense of empowerment onto young girls. Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

a real Silver Surfer movie would kick much ass. none of that Fantastic Four garbage that they tried a couple years ago.
Norrin Radd pledged to serve Galactus in order to save his planet and his love. The deal is that he can never return to his planet. However, he is given god like power and the ability to travel the entire universe. Eventually he is exiled to earth, unable to leave. God like power, but an entire planet that doesn't accept him.
I've always thought "Silver Surfer: Parable" was one of the best mini-series (only two issues). Written by the great Stan Lee, it's one of his finest stories ever. It even won an Eisner award. It would lend itself to the constraints of a Hollywood movie really well. Instead of trying to fit in decades of storylines from the comics (like most comic movies do these days), this is a contained story about morals and religion.
Copy and pasted because I'm too lazy to give the story myself.
Astronomers discover that a giant spaceship is approaching Earth. Panic spreads, especially in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the Surfer leads a lonely life, passing himself off as a homeless man, in the ghettos of Los Angeles. He is being harassed by three LAPD officers when the ship lands and Galactus reveals himself. He claims he has come to offer mankind a better world if they agree to worship him. | |

Parable was awesome. As was the not so long ago "Requiem." I'm a Surfer fan too, and it was hard to swallow FF#2, knowing there was much more to the character. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

God, that FF2 was tough to stomach as a Surfer fan.
Word is that Stan Lee actually had Hollywood in mind when he wrote Parable. | |

OH MY GOD I want to see Rose and Thorn made into a movie. She's a badass bipolar chick who wreaks havoc and forgets all about it. | |

I would love a movie about Luke Cage, filmed in Harlem, and have it take place during the 70s. | |

hell yeah, I was gonna say that too. | |

If they made a WonderWoman film my inner teenager would be eternally grateful. Prince M&M people are as mad as a bag of sparrows. Fact. | |

Luke Cage: Whatcha think?
You can go younger, but he has good timing. I don't know a lot of people who can pull off "Sweet Christmas!" or telling Doom to "Gimme my money, honey!" like Crews could. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

If that's so, U.S. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho has to make a cameo apperance!

they should make a blue beetle movie . that movie would be epic Why does there have to be a soundcheck? I don't have a songcheck. You don't have a clothescheck. | |

Damn, you're taking it way back, son! Some of the dialogue was kind of silly, but you have to applaud Marvel. They were always progressive. | |

well, if we're going to go 70's Harlem (80's Flint or Detroit, MI would work too), I'm going there! lol
I actually liked and have (somewhere) Power Man and Heroes for Hire comics. It was PURE Marvel where they addressed the reality of a Metahuman trying to make a living. Even with a "plus" like superstrength and durabillity, he had to deal with a) a criminal record, b) racial oppression, c) an Alpha Male attitude in a world where men were beginning to be feminized. Money was money to him, and he would take a job for Dr. Doom, but still be bad assed enough to look Doom in the eye and call him out!
I think his recent role in Civil War/New Avengers/Secret Invasion was pretty good, but I do think he's not getting enough real charactarization in Thunderbolts. His relationship with Jessica Jones has been interesting, but I would focus less on the interracial aspect of that in a movie. In fact, if they want to touch on an issue of mixed dating, make Jessica Jones mulatto.
I also loved this recent comic of Heroes for Hire, and would welcome the idea of Misty Knight (Jada Pinkett!) playing "Charlie" for the H4H "Angels" Luke Cage and Danny Rand (Christopher Pine!). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
