With so much upheaval in the world right now, writer Rick Remender has been bringing some joy to the lives of comic book fans on social media by sharing many of his rejected Marvel Comics pitches in a bid to show us what might have been. This time, he's revealed some of the characters he was hoping to use in the Uncanny Avengers series.
While the line-up we got was pretty impressive (Captain America, Havok, Thor, Wolverine, Sunfire, Wonder Man, Rogue, The Wasp, and Scarlet Witch), he originally had a much different idea.
As you can see below, he originally planned on using Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Wolverine, Storm, Thor, and Uncanny Avengers members Psylocke and Fantomex. However, the biggest reveal here is the inclusion of Captain Mar-Vell, a character who has been dead in the comic books for decades now.
His return would have been huge news, and undoubtedly changed the Marvel Universe as we know it.
Remender adds that he planned on including Doctor Voodoo at one point too, but that couldn't happen because he'd recently been killed off. Uncanny Avengers was a fun title, and the title's line-up helped make it compelling reading each month. It's definitely a shame we didn't see some of these heroes join them, though!
What do you guys think?
