Malibu/Ultraverse characters in the MCU

I think that it's way past time to start exploiting the Ultraverse characters from Malibu and to incorporate them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe of movies and television shows. They can all be updated and given new points of view.
Prime, Hardcase, Night Man, Prototype, etc.

There seem to be some problems with using these characters in any capacity.

Let's just say that I wanted to bring these characters back in a very big way, but the way that the deal was initially structured, it's next to impossible to go back and publish these books.

There are rumors out there that it has to do with a certain percentage of sales that has to be doled out to the creative teams. While this is a logistical nightmare because of the way the initial deal was structured, it's not the reason why we have chosen not to go near these characters, there is a bigger one, but I really don't feel like it’s my place to make that dirty laundry public.

That's too bad. It would be great to include some of these characters as anti-heroes and to introduce them to audiences, as an alternate-Avengers.
