Top 10 Superheroes That Need Their Own Movie

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 for more enthralling top hands published every
