Excuse me if i have grammar or spelling mistakes, i don't live in an english speaking country.
I am very excited for the Agent Carter Tv show because the 40’s are a great time to tell superhero related stories. At first i didn’t want this to be made but Peggy Carter is a great character and i think there’s going to be lots of action. Although it’s true that there aren’t many interesting Marvel characters of the 40’s that are not Cap so i’ve made a list of possible candidates that could appear in the show. Obviously not all of them should be used:
Howling Commandos
In the comics, they were led by Nick Fury himself in WW2 and helped Cap ocasionally. They appeared in CA:TFA. So these guys were expected on this list i guess, and they are very easy characters to name but i still wanted them to be here. They are confirmed to return for a flashback scene in Agents of Shield but maybe they don’t appear in Agent Carter wich would be a shame. So let’s cross fingers for Dum Dum!
Invaders
Very obvious indeed aswell although less than the Howling Commandos. They were the first superteam of the Marvel universe, and it included Namor, Cap, Two Human torches (not two johnny storms), Union Jack (whom i will talk about later), Spitfire, Bucky ... etc. Lots of fans have been wanting to see them but i guess this is a very slim possibility. But a mention could be great. We alredy had an easter egg of the original Human Torch in CA:TFA which you can see above.
Master Man
The first villain of the Invaders. He is a failed replica of Catain America due to the fact that his powers fade given a certain time, but when he has them, he is way more stronger than him and bulletproof. In the comics, he has appeared in lots of flashbacks aswell and there is another version of him in the present. Great character.
Isaiah Bradley
In the comics, he was injected with a not so strong imitation of the super soldier soldier serum but it mostly killed all of the other subjets so that’s why he is kind of unique. He is the grandfather of the patriot (and father of Josiah X) who is a teenager and the leader of the young avengers so if they ever want to do that this would be a great nod.
The falsworth family:
Union Jack
There have been two Union Jacks in the 40’s (a third one in the present): James Montgomery Falsworth and his son Brian Falsworth. The first one alredy appeared in CA:TFA as a member of the Howling Commandos but not as his superhero alter ego Union Jack, who is a total sneaky badass. Plus, there aren’t many english marvel superheros.
Brian Falsworth
His alredy mentioned son who had two identities: The Destroyer and Union Jack. Although i think if James Montgomery Falsworth had that age in CA:TFA he can’t have an adult son, but he could make a cameo or he could be his brother. In the comics it was revealed that he was gay so if they want to explore his sexuality it’s ok for me. I just want to see these guys kick some butt.
Baron Blood
Baron Blood has fought several times with cap in ww2 and he is an actual vampire. If Marvel wants to take the supernatural route for the future, this could be a great start. He inicially was the brother of James Montgomery Falsworth but it was revealed that he could actually be the original falsworth due to the fact that he is an ageless vampire.
That’s it for the falsworths. Maybe they could do like a 2 or 3 episode story arc? That’s just an idea.
Hate Monger
He is the clone of Adolf Hitler himself! I’m not sure about this one tho because he is very strange. He lives thanks to the negative energy or something. But a mention or easter egg would be great.
Jack Monroe
Great friend of Cap who was born in the 40’s and managed to survive through the years with a serum (like many others). He has had many identities like Nomad or even Bucky. He was a memeber of the midnight sons as Nomad with Ghost Rider, Werewolve by night... he was killed by none other than Winter Soldier! So yeah, just a possibility.
Citizen V
A WW2 hero who fought alongside Cap several times but was killed by Baron Heinrich Zemo who i think should be the main villain (i’ll talk about him in a sec). I just want him in the series to be killed by Zemo because it would be very cool and it would add evilness to Heinrich. Plus, if they ever want to make a Thunderbolts movie, it would be great if they had alredy stablished the original Citizen V.
Arnim Zola
Last time seen in CA:TWS it was revealed that he was kept prisoner in the USA for some time but was then used to work for shield although really he was plotting against them. I wouldn’t focus on him plotting against shield but it would be great to see conection between the Marvel present day and the Marvel 40’s.
Baron Zemo
Now with the main villain. The writers have alredy confirmed that the main villain will be someone big from the comics so who can this misterious character be none other than Baron Zemo? There have been 2 incarnations: Heinrich and Helmut, father and son. The first one lived in the 40’s and survived through the years with a serum and battled cap and the avengers with the masters of evil through the first 15 issues, then he was killed. There have been lots of flashbacks of the 40’s with Heinrich in the comics.
Helmut was born in the 40’s but was kept young with a serum. He created his version of the masters of evil plus the Thuderbolts. Some people think that using Zemo here is wasting him but i think he’s perfect because i’d rather see Helmut in a Cap/Avengers movie and seeing the other Zemo every week which is awesome. A teen Helmut cameo would be great.
Kid Natasha Romanova
Yes, very controversial but yes. In the comics Black Widow was born in the 40’s (or final 30’s) and during WW2 she was gonna be selled by Strucker to “the Hand” but was saved by Cap, Bucky and Wolverine. Then she survived with guess what... a serum. In the avengers she kept insisting on: “i’ve seen worse” and what could be worse than the Chitaur invasion than WW2? In TWS it was said that “all her secrets would be revealed”. I think Marvel may be leading to that. Maybe revealing that in Agent Carter would be too much because maybe not many Black Widow fanatics will watch that but at least it could be implied.
