So I've been watching quite a lot of Brave and The Bold and Justice League Unlimited/Action recently and I've been wondering if the same kind of a concept could work with Marvel characters: >A show with a well known hero/team that actually puts a lot focus on B-D list heroes with episode to episode plots.
How would you make it? Who would you want to see in it Yea Forums? Or we can just make this a general thread about Marvel's minor leagues who we love. I'm partial to the heroes we got from the Avengers Initiative and never saw again
Just like Brave and the Bold did, you could just take the classic "Marvel Team Up!" comic concept and have Spider-Man team up with a new character every week.
i had this same idea a few years ago, much like BatB i would give it some silverage charm the tone would be close to the PS1 Spidey game youtube.com/watch?v=Exelw_BwGcw

Not really? Super Hero Squad was in most ways a comedy show and not a Comedy action show. The characters weren't taken seriously
I'm thinking more Unlimited in tone like "HAWK AND DOVE STOP A CIVIL WAR WITH WONDER WOMAN" rather than "The avengers get evicted and stay in the punisher's van"

The main issue is Marvel's lack of recognisable and interesting C listers. A lot of their heroes are just really well known even outside the MCU.
Who would they even get? The new warriors, Namor, Howard the Duck and Machine man? Maybe Texas Tornado and Squirrel girl if their willing to stretch it?
Jonah Hex is hardly used but has an interesting lore to him that works for Brave and the Bold same with Booster and Blue Beetle. None of Marvel's under utilized heroes have that obscure star factor
Aiden Cooper
It definitely could, and I think Iron Man'd be a good shout. Not so strong that other characters can't do anything and he has suits that can fit the plot as necessary to avoid constant exposition. Also, cough, merchandising. You could use some of the old stuff too like an ep where IM goes blind and needs DD to help him. He'd need some nerfs to fit into street level tho, so maybe a safe bet like Spidey would be more flexible
Xavier Thompson
I think every teen super hero marvel has brought out as the young, up and coming rookie fits your description for a roster. They have millions of them.
Levi Morgan
That's what a cartoon could do though. Trawl a bunch of polls and sales nu bers and shit to see where the popularity is, and show versions of the more obscure ones that don't make them look like jokes.
Xavier Morales
Ok So we're going with Marvel Team Up with Spiderman as the lead. Who do we get for episode to episode characters?
Lets say their fame can't be more than Plastic-man's as a comparison
Christopher Martin
I disagree, I say we get the fantastic four because they have their foot in all aspects of the Marvel Universe.
None of these would work with Spiderman but would do fine for the FF
Justin Sanchez
That might be a bit crowded. They'd need to have the FF be useful, but not overshadow the guest star, and if a team's guest starring, that's like 7-8 characters to plot around. I agree in concept tho
Charles Lewis
From the file's of Nick Fury or Captain America's Capers. Always going to fight some new threat to the world and end up with a hero or team roped in
Nicholas Bailey
The early synopsis we had of Ultimate Spider-Man made me think that it would be Marvel's attempt at making a BatB. It kind of was, but it sucked.
Justin Morris
Half it and make it Hank and Jan doing the sort of science research in different areas of the world.
Outfit them as gadgeteers rather than just growers and shrinkers so they are more multi-purpose for each situation
Adrian Reyes
I still don't fully understand what the point of Don Hall was desu. Who wanted that?
Charles Turner
Don Hall?

Back when telltale was a thing and they announced a marvel project the best thing they could have done was something like Tales from the Borderlands where you play as an OC (preferably a SHIELD AGENT) and each episode would consist of a team-up with a different hero
The issue with a Brave and a Bold for Marvel is teams.
For every solo hero like Green Arrow in DC there is an entire team in Marvel

>THE LAST SHOWDOWN! The Sensational Seven >BY WHAT MEASURE... A MANDROID?! Livewires >IF THIS BE MOONSDAY! Moon Girl, Devil Dinosaur, and Galactus >TURN OFF THE DARK, I WANT TO GET OFF! Musical Episode with Ceelo Green as Hypno Hustler
Ayden Flores
Brother of Hank Hall and half the short lived crime fighting team known as Hawk and Dove
Samuel Long
Brave and the Bold had teams a lot and handled them just fine. We got the Outsiders, the JSA, the JLI, the Doom Patrol, the Freedom Fighters, and a bunch of other random team ups. The trick was bringing the teams down to a few essential members and also having some members show up in earlier episodes to build them up.
I don't see why a Spider-Man team up show couldn't have say the Thing and the Torch in an episode, and then later on have a full Fantastic Four episode, or have Wolverine show up and then later have an X Men episode with Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm and Beast or whatever.
As for what episode I would love, I would love to see X-Statix show up in something.
the New Warriors Avengers Initiative Alpha Flight Great Lakes Avengers X Force New Mutants, X Statix Star Jammers Agents of Atlas Big Hero 6 Excalibur Exiles Power Pack Runaways Sword Armor O.G. Guardians of the Galaxy Skrull Kill Krew Thunderbolts AND MANY MANY MORE
All of these are filled with interesting heroes but aren't known outside their teams.
