With the happening of the X-Men and Spider-Man franchises, it seems that every ordinal Marvel Comics superhero has a pic in planning stages. However, Marvel's other superhero teams have a faint hurdle: they allocation their obloquy near different popular with Hollywood subject: fondly-remembered TV shows. Let's detail them unconnected...
THE AVENGERS
On television: Quirky train from the sixties, in which the dreadfully British John Steed (Patrick Macnee) and miscellaneous offsiders, as well as Cathy Gale (Honore Blackman) and Emma Peel (Diana Rigg), battled many sci-fi goofballs. Best villains: the Cybernauts, a posy of cutthroat robots.
In the comics: Superhero group, published since the sixties, most recurrently led by the self-importantly American Captain America. Every Marvel superhero salvage the X-Men seems to have been an Avenger at every event. Best villain: Ultron, a homicidal machine.
Prospects: The comic publication was spun off into a touristy revived TV series, but since the atrocious 1998 film (based on the TV display), the designation "Avengers" is belike box-office venom.
THE DEFENDERS
On television: Riveting 1960s room drama, featuring a father-son safety troop.
In the comics: Riveting 1970s and 1980s superhero comic, featuring a agglomeration of guys who would hang up out together, operational generally ghostly bad guys.
Prospects: Some of the comic-book Defenders (including the Hulk and, upcoming soon, the Sub-Mariner and the Silver Surfer) are once silver screen heroes. If they are successful, a team-up is the lucid side by side step.
THE INVADERS
On television: Maximum paranoia, '60s finesse. David Vincent (Roy Thinnes) had to run away from aliens who wanted to pocket ended the world, masked as humans, piece maddening to caution a dubious Earth population.
In the comics: Marvel's maximum heroes of World War II - that is to say Captain America, the Sub-Mariner and the productive Human Torch. While they were all uncultured rear in the 1940s, they singular worked mutually in a homesick series, freshman published in the decennium.
Prospects: How about a crossover? Aliens assail Earth and battle superheroes during World War II? Hey, it could work!
THE CHAMPIONS
On television: Silly (but fun) British superhero succession of the decade.
In the comics: Los Angeles-based superhero succession of the decade. One of the basic teams to be led by a female person (the Black Widow, a defected Russian spy), on beside Ghost Rider, Iceman and others.
Prospects: Neither of them lasted perennial. If a in TV series (like The Avengers) or laughable transcript (like Captain America) can open fire on at the movies, who'd privation to film one of these also-rans?
ALIAS
On television: The adventures of Sydney Bristow, high-school apprentice cum superspy. First shown in 2001; off 2006.
In the comics: The adventures of Jessica Jones, superhero cum officer. First published in 2000; she retired in 2005.
