Other Superheroes in the Marvel Movieverse

[toddx77]

I have been thinking about this a lot recently and remember how at the end of Iron Man Fury tells Stark that he is not the only Superhero? Who was he referring too? Banner had not become the Hulk yet, Thor was still in Asgard, and I don't think Hawkeye and Black Widow considered themselves Superheroes. There was still Captain America, but he was still frozen so it would make sense to count him at the time. Could by Superhero Fury have simply meant exceptional people to be recruited into the Avengers Initiative? Am I missing something or am I just looking too much into it?

He already knew Hawkeye and Widow, Captain America was considered the first superhero in the Marvel movie world, and Banner had already been the Hulk for a few years before Iron Man 1 happened.

Interesting, I had no idea The Incredible Hulk happened before Iron Man nor that time line existed. Thanks.

Well the event that turns Banner into Hulk happens before Iron Man 1. The actual Incredible Hulk movie happens around the same time as Iron Man 2.

I think he was referring to himself. Nick Fury, that humble SOB!

He was clearly referring to Coulson.

depending on how they actually do Ant-Man, one treatment would have had Pym operating as a superhero during the cold war.

The events of the movie hadn't happened yet, but Banner first Hulked out about five years prior. I don't think he'd done much to be considered a super hero, though.

Fury could easily be referring to Spider-Man as well. Though with a different studio, they were going to allow an Easter Egg in Avengers in the form of the Osborp Building appearing on-screen. The only reason it didn't was one of production, they couldn't add it to the skyline on time.

I don't know if Marvel Studios has the Blade rights now, but if they do, it's a safe bet SHIELD has known about him for a while.

There's that, yes.
There was an interview a while back where Jon Favreau said he snuck in a reference to Black Panther in Iron Man 2. When we see the map of the world's superhumans at the end of the film, one of them is in Africa. So it's possible Black Panther is active or Fury at least knows of him.

That's to say nothing of the street level guys who could possibly be active. I'd be interested in seeing if the SHIELD show touches on any of them.

[toddx77]

All interesting ideas, it seems by superhero Fury meant anyone with a powers or some sort of high level skills. I guess you could say SHIELD was watching people they deemed to be superheroes.

[DebkoX]

I think with the S.H.I.E.L.D Show we are gonna say the biggest universe possible, with the likes of iron fist ect.

We really have no idea what the shield show is going to be like. I really do not expect a ton of superheroes to appear even if they have the access to them. Expectations is likely going to be too much.

The limitations of a TV budget make it unlikely there will be a lot of costumed superheroes unless it's street level vigilante types like Moon Knight or Echo. The potential character pool might also be limited by whether or not characters are planned to appear in the movies.

One other interesting thing was that a while back, it was reported that Marvel and Sony had discussed putting Oscorp tower in the Avengers movie.

So depending on how those talks went and what the future holds Spider-Man might also be considered part of the Marvel movie universe.

Ya I see the the street level heroes appearing over the big ones who will probably make quick appearances if any which will probably only be in costume and un voiced. I can only imagine how much it would cost to get Robert Downy Jr and on a TV show budget it would probably just be cheaper to show a guy in an Iron Man suit and not have him talk.

I heard about the Oscorp Tower trying to be put in Avengers which would have been interesting. If the Amazing Spider-Man does take place in the Marvel Movieverse I wonder what Spider-Man was doing during the Chitauri invasion.
