Almost along the lines of Marvels biggest slap in the face which has to do with Character rendition this question is who in terms of Marvels characters (All studios included)do you feel has gotten a Raw deal as in not getting there potential or recognition downsized if you will.
In terms of story or likeness or proper respect as should be.
Like Cyclops as a leader in X-men or Doom in FF or Galactus etc.etc.
This came to me on another post as I was typing what I did below.
Ill start with Haweye and how hes getting played in Avengers and theres even some talk he may get killed off in Avengers 2.



Actually more then once he quit.
Actually taking things into account he is probably the most important or one of the most important Avengers there ever was.Technically speaking.Why do I say this because think about it how many Avengers or at least he was the first to start off a whole new team which ran for a while and has his own book twice I believe.Im saying in technical terms.So he along with Hank Pym are getting some really Raw deals.
Hawkeye...no wonder he quit so many times...

Namor. He's stuck with a studio with no other characters, which has no intention of ever doing anything with him.
 
Cyclops.
Galactus.
Dr. Doom.
Juggernaut.
Venom.
Malekith.
Psylocke.
Deadpool.
Emma Frost.
Angel.
Probably Ultron. (At least in the sense that Joss is ditching the deliciously perverse twisted "family" drama of Daddy Hank, Mommy Janet, and Baby Ultron.)

But yeah, definitely Dr. Doom and Galactus. If Fox had even *tried* to make canonical versions of the two most iconic supervillains in Marvel's lexicon, then FF and FFROTSS would have actually been a couple of palatable movies. As it stands, they're steaming piles of bantha poop.
 
Mandarin
Crimson Dynamo
Cyclops
Galactus
Donald Blake
Dr. Doom
Venom
Malekith
Deadpool
Hawkeye

(No order)

Agreed. I can't believe people aren't making more noise about this; he'd be an excellent fit for the MCU.

He really would. Even Fox would be an improvement over what's happening with the character now (ie. nothing).
 
Hogun (in the last Thor movie, i believe he only had 2-3 minutes screentime) :(
along with Volstagg, Fandral, and Sif.

I know it's too soon to judge, but Hank Pym....
as one of the founding Avengers, I'm not fond of an old Hank, I want him to be there in his prime along with Iron Man, Cap, Hulk, and Thor.
 
Easy, Deadpool
Sorry dog this right here goes under Biggest Slap in the face.That was a disaster that wasnt even the character.

Cyclops gets no respect in the Fox movies.
Rodney Dangerfield "No Respect"

Sad.
Cyclops.
Malekith.Psylocke.
Malekith?Really?Why?..Psylocke?Where was she?
Hogun (in the last Thor movie, i believe he only had 2-3 minutes screentime) :(

I agree wth the Warriors 3.I also agree with what you say about Hank Pym because That kills almost every storyline and the Wasp.
I want to add to the list.Rick Jones.

Psylocke was in the last stand, her character was nothing more than a shameful cameo and she was just crammed in there, she was part of the Brotherhood, look for the woman with the purple hair.

Where was Rick Jones?

Wow..I never even caught her.
Where was Rick Jones?...Exactly my point.Nowhere and that's a Raw deal.

I don't think that Namor is stuck at Universal, so much as they are most likely holding him hostage for major a $$$$ investment from a Disney/Marvel buyback.


I can't see a stand alone Namor movie being extremely successful regardless of which studio made it, but rather him as future character in an Avengers or Fantastic Four movie (like was done with the Silver Surfer). I just have a personal dislike for the character in general.
 
Deadpool-got the worst

Rest in no order

Cyclops
Psylocke
Rogue
Storm
Havok
Emma Frost
Angel
Gambit
Lady Death Strike
Ghost Rider
Dr Doom
Punisher
Typhoid Mary
Galactus
Malekith
Venom
Lizard
Mandarin-Never cared for the character so the twist didn't bother me, but there was and still is much more potential for the character.

Hawkeye was underused but I will put him on the list if he dies next round. Don't know where that rumor or talk is coming from but I hope that won't happen. Desereves his own flick.

That implies that they kidnapped the rights by force. That they are the bad guys committing a crime and Marvel are the good guys trying to save the day.

Marvel sold Namor, THEY sold him to Universal.

Universal didn't grab the rights and run off, they aren't in the wrong for keeping something that they paid for.

Now I would love a Namor movie and it sucks that they aren't doing it but they own him fair and square.

Sorry if I sound rude but I hate this attitude that any Marvel property not controlled by Marvel is being held hostage.

The various studios bought them so they have a right to them. If it wasn't for them buying what was for sale and building the genre then there'd be no Marvel Studios.

Wait, Mandarin and Crimson Dynamo haven't been used, how can they have gotten a raw deal?


My picks

Juggernaut
Colossus
Cyclops
Ice Man (only icing up a the very end of the very last movie? Come on!)
Deadpool
Dr. Doom
Galactus
Venom
Psylocke
Whiplash
Ghost Rider
Elektra
actually pretty much all the X-characters that Bryan Singer neutered, like IceMan, only making a big block of ice as the only thing he's ever done in those movies.
 
I would hold off on putting Hawkeye in this category until Age of Ultron comes out. The fact that he wasn't in Cap 2 was my only disappointment with the movie, but according to Whedon, there's a good reason why him and Hulk haven't been in Phase 2 so far and that Clint will have a larger role in the sequel. So we'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, not just Singer though. All X-Men besides Nightcrawler, Prof X, Magneto, Wolverine, Beast and Mystique have gotten a raw deal. So much potential that has been hardly explored or portrayed well.

The Wolverine was a great flick but Silver Samurai got a bit of a raw deal as well.
