some characters are simply too big for
the pages of the comic book I never
imagined I'd meet a human so
complimentary to myself welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we're counting
down our picks for the top ten
superheroes that need their own movie
I'm with this city needs for this list
we're looking at superheroes or
comic-book stories that have not yet
been the star of a theatrically released
motion picture starring in a TV movie or
a made for video movie doesn't count the
main man's contracts complete number 10
marbles ahhmm be superheroes are popular
on the screen zombies are popular on the
screen so why haven't the Marvel Zombies
lumbered into the movie theaters across
the country the premise is pure
cinematic gold
in an alternate reality a deadly virus
is turning the metahumans into the
walking dead with a taste for human
flesh once their food supply on earth is
depleted what can stop them from taking
their super zombified selves into space
and spreading the virus on a cosmic
level well only a three-picture deal can
answer that question number 9 Martian
Manhunter we have to discuss this he's
big he's green he can kick criminal but
with the best of them what more does a
person need in a superhero maybe a
little tragic backstory well he's got
that covered too when did you turn into
a coward he is not a coward men who have
seen battle are often among those who
hold life most dear the origin of John
John's the Manhunter from Mars has
undergone alterations throughout the
years however in many versions he is the
sole survivor of the Martian race I've
already lost one home I made a promise
to protect my new one that fact gives
the character a bit of drama that would
work really well on screen plus with his
shape-shifting abilities he's a visual
treat for the modern CGI world I've read
his mind he's telling the truth
regardless we have a responsibility to
the millions of people being oppressed
on his world number 8 Power Girl it's
really important originally conceived as
the counterpart of Supergirl in the
alternate reality known as earth to
power girls origin has changed in the
confusing manner throughout the years
about all that remained consistent was
her distinctive peekaboo costume and
even that got the ax in the new 52 and
borings good isn't it
whatever her origin the character's
awesome power set and emotional
complexity would invigorate any film
that's built around her go number seven
Spectre I hae the specter was charged by
a mysterious heavenly voice to eradicate
evil as you wish as such there could be
broad cross demographic appeal for a
movie starring the ghostly Guardian with
his magic based powers and his
unquenchable thirst for vengeance The
Spectre would attract both traditional
superhero fans and horror flick devotees
who can't kill a dead man the guilty
must be punished for their crimes
as a matter of fact staying true to the
spirit of the Specter and his penchant
for graphic punishment would almost
guarantee an nc-17 rating number six
Deathstroke battlestations Deathstroke
isn't exactly what you'd call a good guy
but he's such an awesome character that
he needs his own movie he's often forced
into a reluctant heroic role and that
makes him an especially interesting
character to bring to the screen
betrayal
destruction revenge we really do think
alike cunning ruthless and brilliant
Deathstroke gains superpowers as part of
a top-secret US army experiment with his
enhanced skills he is almost an
unstoppable mercenary and assassin
whether playing the villain or the
antihero Deathstroke's presence means
plenty of action subterfuge and
adventure that was vicious dishonorable
and excellent work
number five Lobo Lobo started as a DC
parody of Marvel's Wolverine an unstable
badass with a tendency towards
blood-soaked lunacy so one more time
surrender or die a bounty hunter from
another world he often gives new meaning
to the term over-the-top tooling around
on an awesome interstellar bike called
the space hog Lobo creates a special
brand of darkly comic hyperactive chaos
it's possible that his outsized
personality might be too big for the
silver screen but with the right actor
director combo it could create some very
special movie madness Daisy Ben thinks
she could take down the bane man number
4 Teen Titans
it's tempting just to create a film
around Raven the enigmatic empath with
some really serious daddy issues
this party is pointless
everything's pointless want to talk
about but starting off with a film
featuring the old Teen Titans crew is
probably the way to go the youth that
grew up with the animated version of the
team on TV would jump it seeing them
into theaters with Nightwing and star
fires halting romance cyborg and Beast
Boy bromante and ravens dark night of
the soul routine there would be no
shortages of paths to explore on screen
nice intensity yeah have any good freak
outs lately I just got sick of being
pushed around the problem would be
deciding which other members from the
team's decades-long history to include
let me guess cyborg pleased to meet you
little lady
number 3 Silver Surfer do we talk okay
so the second Fantastic Four film was a
huge fumble but we can't blame it on the
surfer oh that is cool the dude is the
essence of cool first there's the look
with the awesome silver metallic skin
and bizarre but epic surfboard then
there's his outsider status he doesn't
belong on earth but he doesn't really
belong anywhere else and he's got that
mournful melancholy thing that's mixed
with a lot of righteous anger that you
know isn't an end listen just give the
project to a director with an original
flair for visuals and the picture will
practically make itself for the first
time since I became the Silver Surfer do
I fully understand why the universe
needs me I will not allow it
number two Nightwing that's Nightwing
you wish the back first sidekick the
first Robin if his mentor Batman can
have a whole string of movies then why
can't Nightwing catch a break no offense
to the Caped Crusader but Nightwing can
do a lot of what the Dark Knight can do
and without all the brooding need a hand
no plus he's a generation younger so he
brings extra youth appeal that can't
hurt at the box office
a Nightwing film to feature the same
kind of detective stories and colorful
villains as a Batman film but can do it
all with a somewhat more relatable lead
character you wouldn't lose anything in
the action or drama but might gain
something in tone and heart oh bird boy
you're so much less fun now all grown up
and in your big-boy pants before we
reveal our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
number one black widow
hates hammer the biggest female
superhero on the silver screen and she
doesn't have her own movie talk about
injustice the superhero world is largely
a boys club but Black Widow is the equal
if not the superior of any of her fellow
Avengers
besides her Russian superspy turned
agent of shield back story holds
countless dramatic possibilities for a
film
honey pageant ScarJo herself has proven
that she can carry a movie on her
shoulders come on Marvel you can make
this happen do you agree with our
choices that's impressive
nothing we haven't seen before what
other amazing superheroes deserve to
throw their punches on the big screen
