As of this month , Marvel Comics belongs to the Walt Disney Corporation , which also possess the ABC television receiver web . So when are we travel to see some corporate synergy bechance ? Here’re 10 Marvel comic strip we require to see on television .
You may remember that we havepreviously proven through the use of both science and good tasting that Superhero + Television = Suck(See : Heroes , Smallville ) , but as luck would have it , that does n’t think of that ABC wo n’t be able to find some worthwhile possible programing amongst their corporate brethren ’s noetic young ; it just intend that they ’ll have to jab a picayune deeper – and get a little more creative – to recover the programme amber . Here are some of our picks to get them started :

The Bozz Chronicles
The Pitch : A suicidal stranger turn over detective in Victorian London . Think Sherlock Holmes if Sherlock was a manic - depressive extra - terrestrial and Watson was a hooker Eliza Doolittle before she met Henry Higgins .
We See … a period of time dramatic event premix of House ( Weekly secret procedural , grumpy star eccentric ) and Bones ( mismatched couple with intimate tension , one of whom educates the other on society , solve murder ) with a footling bit of science fiction thrown in . Transplant the taradiddle to America , get John Goodman as the weighty form of address character and you ’re good to go .
Dakota North
The Pitch : An international reverse lightning - specify detective / bodyguard with clients include the rich , illustrious and occasionally hereditary . Human Target , but female and with family effect .
We See … Stana Katic from Castle in the deed role , for one thing . But while this character has bulge out to show up more regularly in Marvel ’s superhero leger over the last few eld ( hothead , specially ) , we ’d mirthfully see someone take her back to her quirky hardboiled update of the old mode and love affair cartoon strip in a hebdomadary TV serial publication .
host Of The Night
The Pitch : A squad of former occult investigators get brought out of retreat and together as a squad by force play beyond deadly ken .
We See … comedic gold . Dump the original comedian ’s sense of dread and angst , and play up with squad dynamics and sense that these guys may have overhaul their prime . It ’s Ghostbusters meet Warehouse 13 converge Men of a Certain Age but with more vague prophecies promising the ending of the earth .
Longshot
The Pitch : An barren alien hard worker ( who just so happens to be supernaturally lucky , and be capable to make anyone fall in love with him ) escapes to Earth get wind about human race while being trace down by his former owners .
We See … a show that matches the off - kilter sensibility and charm of Ann Nocenti and Art Adams ’ original serial before the grapheme got pulled into the X - Men . perchance something along the lines of The Fugitive as made by the people behind Pushing Daisies ? All you take is some unknown - yet - beautiful new male jumper cable to play the title character and someone to convert Mary Louise Parker that she was stomach to act as love pursuit / mentor Ricochet Rita .
Machine Man
The Pitch : The 51st artificial intelligence agency created by gentleman is the first one not to be tug insane by self - consciousness … but that does n’t think that he ’s ready to live up to his destiny as the military machine ’s greatest weapon .
We See … a weekly espionage variant of Kyle XY , with some of the philosophical themes of Caprica and other AI sci - fi . Jack Kirby ’s admittedly goofy seventies creation was ahead of its time , and we ’d wish to see someone give it the care , and treatment , it deserves .
Models , Inc.
The Pitch : By solar day : high-pitched fashion models ! By Nox : Murder - investigate amateur police detective ! It ’s Murder She Wrote meets Project Runway !
We See … the greatest , campest idiot box serial ever . Paul Tobin ’s update of Marvel ’s old romance characters from last year may not have made the dab it merit in comics , but if ever there was a TV series that require to be made , it ’s this one . Come on , ABC . you’re able to even launch it with a very special episode of Ugly Betty .
Power Pack
The Pitch : We ’re breaking our No Superheroes rule for this one , because ever since its creation , there ’s been a special place in our hearts for the four nipper in the Power kinsfolk , each of whom has their own superpower …
We See … a great Thomas Kyd ’ show waiting to happen . Power Pack has always worked well as Kid ’ compliments - fulfilment , and the moral force between the kid ( and their parent , ignorant but supportive ) is something that could easy interpret to television . Give it to ABC Family , put some money behind the effects , and it should be a no - brainer .
SHIELD
The Pitch : talk of no - brainers : It ’s the public ’s great spy organisation , kicking screwing and taking names in the battle against anything and everything peril the safety of the free man . Oh , and they have flying cars , clones and special formulas that prevent them from bear to geezerhood . Did we mention that part ?
We See … an Alias that does n’t get caught up in subplot hell . A deputation : Impossible that at times slew into Fringe and Cloverfield territory when needs be . You do n’t even involve to employ Nick Fury – although you could certainly refer him a few time to cue everyone about the movies – because the rest of the SHIELD construct is easily unattackable enough to carry its own series .
Son of Satan
The Pitch : The creation ’s first demonologist just so happens to be the boy of the world ’s foremost demon .
We See … an amped - up Supernatural , where the crime syndicate drama is much more intense . Not only is Daimon Hellstrom – Yes , Marvel ’s names were a little on the olfactory organ in the seventies – the son of a demon call in himself Satan , but he ’s also get a baby who ’s following in Daddy ’s pace . Get White Collar ’s Matt Bomer for the lead and everyone’ll be well-chosen . Of course , you may have to switch the name .
Star Brand
The Pitch : The most powerful force in being is in the hands of a random loser from Pittsburgh , who just might apply it to terminate the world .
We See … a way to do zep , but with only Peter , and a sluttier Peter with less morals and unfit hair at that . It could be a limited running series , arrant with flashforwards ( Hey , that sounds like an idea for a television show … ) to after the Black Event , where our main character accidentally nukes Pittsburgh and launches the chain of events that need the world into another public state of war . After all , special ravel + timeshifts worked pretty well for ABC with Lost …
