WIth the promotion of Loeb at Marvel, and the interest Marvel is showing with live action TV (or thats the jist Im getting from interviews I have read) who would you like to see in a show?

Hawkeye gets my vote, I think hes a very TV character. like Kane in Kung Fu, have him travel the earth, a hiatius from the Avengers, and get in adventures.

Id take the tale from his one comic where he started by getting on his motorcycle and riding 12 hours just to get a bowl of chilli.

Why not Heroes for Hire? Easy enough to do the "Bullet-proof Luke Cage" effects, and their are plenty of actors with martial arts cred these days...could be a winner.

Hmm, good idea. Fits an episodic series format well, and there's no end of street level characters who can co-star. Misty Knight's arm could be done mostly with sound effects, costuming and then the occasional bit of CGI or prosthetics, for example.

Heroes for Hire is a good choice.

Yes, Heroes for Hire.

Also:
Cloak and Dagger
Runaways
Loners (maybe)
GL[whatever] (even though I'm extremely not a fan)
Livewires
Spellbinders

Punisher: Probably as a HBO or Showtime series

Moon Knight. Show DC how a Batman TV series could be done.

Daredevil could work too... A mix of courtroom drama ala Boston Legal and action adventure.

I'm not interested in anything live,but I would love to see FF;The Avengers and etc. in CGI so we can get those classic cosmic battles.

-Man and Super-Man(FF)
-Cosmic story lines featuring Thanos
-Everybody vs. Galactus(FF)
-The Enemy(Avengers)
-Thor (Celestials storyline)

I think a live action Daredevil show would be cool, if they could do it well enough.

I would so love to see a Marvel Knights show on a premium channel like HBO or Showtime, but that's kind of iffy.

"Everybody Loves Galactus!" A sit-com about the planet-devouring legend and his wacky adventures. Think about this for a minute...it could be like the "Murphy Brown Secretary" gag, only this time with his heralds.

I'd watch it...

Spider-man Team up.

Live action TV? Not much. Most live Marvel projects are best kept for the big screen. I'd only recommend street-level characters for live action TV, say Moon Knight & Daredevil, maybe Captain America & Black Widow.

Now if it's animated, I'd love to see something encompassing the whole of the Marvel Universe in a team-up format. Something like: Episode 1: Spider-Man & the Thing. Episode 2: The Thing & Captain America. Episode 3: Captain America & Wolverine. Last episode of the season features a big handful of those that have appeared throughout the season.

Heroes for Hire has my vote. Cage and Rand at the head and the ladies too. Very cool.

- HBO Punisher
- Heroes For Hire can work for network TV, Terry Crews as Luke Cage
- Moon Knight or Daredevil
- The New Mutants (kinda "Heroes" ish to leave the possibility for bringin in more mutants)

Daredevil or Heroes for Hire could really work. Michael Jai White could be Luke Cage.

Dr. Strange could sort of work. Like Charmed with more action and mustaches.

The original New Universe stories would make for a nice, finite series, maybe focusing on Starbrand. Season one or two would end with the destruction of Pittsburgh, then we'd get "The Draft" & "War".

Gambit but without the x-men in if focus on the Guilds and Sinister as the main villian

The man on the street perspective in a superhero universe as seen through the eyes of a news reporter like Phil Sheldon would be good.

Power Pack
Runaways

Since Marvel and Disney are one, create for the kids and put it on the Disney Channel; Power Pack catering to the kids and Runaways to the tweens and teens.

Good idea. In the same vein, "Frontline" would work, too.

Nova or Silver Surfer could be really cool if they have a huge budget.

A lot of the show ideas may run into legal issues if other studios still have contracts for movie properties.

No offense to those that said it, but Runaways is too big a property to put on the small screen unless it's animated and aimed for teens.

My list:


Moon Knight
Daredevil
Blade (I enjoyed the first go around)
Heroes for Hire
New Mutants
Generation X
Sleepwalker
Werewolf by Night
Man-Thing
Devil-Slayer
Tower of Shadows or Chamber of Darkness (with special host Digger ala Tales from the Crypt)
Spider-Man
Power Pack
Powers
Criminal
Casanova

I think I'll stop now ... :smile:
