The Marvel Kings!

Credit to SavageBeast, LaBradford and JETisKing for planting the seedling in my head for this. Who are the Marvel (with one special exception) heroes which best exemplify our Kings?

Star-divide

Sergio Rodriguez - Johnny Storm

Humantorch_medium

Wait, what?

Much like Johnny, "Surge" has a high energy level, and fervent desire to help his team. Sometimes his lack of discipline comes back to bite him in his butt, but his passion is never in question.

 

Spencer Hawes - The Incredible Hulk

Incredible-hulk-summer-2008_medium

Wait, what?

If Spencer is completely content with his surroundings, he can tend to disappear unfortunately. But if you can find a way to light a fire under his butt, watch out!

 

Jon "Mancakes" Brockman - The Thing

Thing_medium

Wait, what?

With a heart of gold and elbows of stone, "The Brockness Monster" is more than willing to play a supporting role, as long as he is able to fit in and contribute. Clobberin' time indeed.

 

Kevin Martin - Silver Surfer

Silver-surfer-movie_medium

Wait, what?

Before he came along, no one had ever heard of the place that he came from, but with his significant talents and noble attitude he has had a significant influence on the team.

 

Omri Casspi - Daredevil

Daredevil65_medium

Wait, what?

What does a man do that has no fear? Awesome things, that's what! He has been highly trained since a young age, and is blessed with a natural instinct that allows him to anticipate what will happen on the court.

 

Kenny Thomas - Spawn

Spawn_medium

Wait, what?

After a well respected career, several setbacks caused many to give him up for dead... But much to everyone's surprise, he has come back to life, and is surprisingly badass!!!

 

Tyreke Evans - Longshot

124282-74702-longshot_super_medium

Wait, what?

Seemingly purpose built for the game of basketball, Tyreke also seems to have a knack for creating fortuitous situations for himself and his team.

Addendum: Wolverine. Tyreke does not have a graceful style, instead he relies on his toughness and... *ahem* slashing abilities to get to the rim. *snikt snikt*

-Credit to JETisKing in the comment section.

 

Donte Greene - Iceman

Iceman9tn_medium

Wait, what?

Widely recognized as a bona fide Omega level talent, he has only now started to realize his potential.

 

Beno Udrih - Cyclops

Cyclops_1280-thumb_medium

Wait, what?

Despite not possessing a very imposing physical presence, Beno has a lethal long-range attack.

 

Jason Thompson - Colossus

Colossus_medium

Wait, what?

The opposite of Beno, even when Thompson is at his worst, he is still an imposing physical presence. When he gets himself into trouble early, his true abilities are not able to be taken advantage of. But when he is able to get going, he is nearly unstoppable!

 

Ime Udoka - Nick Fury

Ultimate_nick_fury_medium

Wait, what?

Ime is a grizzled veteran and the definition of a specialist. He also possesses an intangible "badass-ness" factor, much like Sam Jackson Ultimate Nick Fury.

 

Sean May - The Blob

The_blob_medium

Wait, what?

Beating a dead horse is fun.

 

Andres Nocioni - Iron Man

Iron-man-suit_medium

Wait, what?

Sometimes he can get a little too much of a "me-first" attitude, but he is experienced and about as tough and crafty as they come.

 

Francisco Garcia - Deadpool

Deadpool-merc-with-a-mouth_medium

Wait, what?

Not really having any specialties, but being able to do a little bit of everything is Cisco's... Um, specialty. He also possesses a very respectable shot, and is very vocal.

 

 

Alright! That's about it! What do y'all think? Do you have anyone that you think would fit better? Post your ideas in the comments!

Thanks for reading!

That was fun!

Sorry I haven’t kept up on Marvel for maybe a decade—who is Longshot? I hope he’s a super badass, if he’s going to be representing Tyreke. I was thinking of Beast for Tyreke because, well, he’s a beast!

And Sean May as The Blob is hilarious. : )

put me in, Coach

can we just refer to Brockman as the Thing from now on?

Also, I think Kev as the Silver Surfer is just damn cool.

Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. Vonnegut

Agreed on the Surfer.

Who is PW? Professor X?

You're the man, LaBradford.

Thanks a heap for taking the time to do this. I’m a nerd at heart so this really struck a chord.

Good call on Kevin being the greatest Herald of Galactus.

Your Donte Greeene/Iceman caption is a stroke of genius. The White Queen augmented Iceman is truly a beast. Hopefully, Donte will evolve into that!

Despite his crappy movie, I’d say Tyreke is Wolverine since he slashes into lane and destroys his opponents with his fearless and cunning skill.

I could hear Brocktimus Prime saying, “It’s CLOBBERING TIME!”.

Good job!

JT's nickname within the Kings organization

is “Ironman”, but not after the marvel character. Mainly for his toughness and having not missed a game yet.

The depiction of Spence as the Hulk is a bit… I don’t know, of a stretch. Yeah, stretch. That works much better for him.

I thought this through

and I think that Beast definitely fits the description of Sean May.

Beast – Sean May
High IQ with tons of potential based on size alone, but when there is a battle going on, he never gets into the fray.
