The Marvel Kings!

PrintCredit 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?
Sergio Rodriguez - Johnny Storm
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Wait, what?
Widely recognized as a bona fide Omega level talent, he has only now started to realize his potential.
Beno Udrih - Cyclops
Wait, what?
Despite not possessing a very imposing physical presence, Beno has a lethal long-range attack.
Jason Thompson - Colossus
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
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
Wait, what?
Beating a dead horse is fun.
Andres Nocioni - Iron Man
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
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
He's not very well known, but he is pretty frickin' cool.
Except for the mullet…

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!
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
Now that I think about it, Wolverine probably would have been better...
Good call!

Oh, I think you mean “You’re the man, tomroadrunner”. This is his post : )

Haha, yeah, I thought about telling him that as well...
But I was like, “meh, as long as it gets read”, lol.

Wait,...............what?
It has been more than several decades for me and Marvel Comics. What can I say? How about this! Marvelously written tomroadrunner. Rec’d ya! Loved the Surfer’s “noble attitude”, describes Kevin perfectly.

But I’m not a Marvel guy, so my default comic book selection for Sean May would have been -

Great post!
But the nerd in me has to nitpick a little here. Spawn is not a Marvel character
I’m an ass, I know

Yeah... But he's the first person that came to mind when I thought of K9.
I’m kind of an ass too, don’t worry about it.

I went to the Marvel Website and left more confused
I saw Isiah Thomas (Anit-Cap), Kobe (Black Mamba), and a girl I dated in high school (Invisible Woman).

Very nice trr.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Oh, hes in the laegue two and Jayson Thomson and that Boggins dude on Milwokee, and Occur for the Jizz. Its a talented laegue.--Kfan in Korea
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.

Spencer
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'm reserving Mr. Fantastic for next year's draft pick...
Only shot blockers and ball hawks deserve to carry the name “stretch”.

LOL. For whatever reason I didn't notice the awesome Logan sideburns. Dope!

I worked at it for hours...
actually, he was already wearing purple shorts. I just slapped a kings logo on.

Now we have to get Spence to play like the Incredible Spence consistently. R'd.

Ime
I had a tough time finding a useable pic of Ime, but here is my best shot.

Right now he looks fabulous!

But I couldn’t find one with his face at the same angle as the lame daredevil images.

Rec'd but it looks a little S&M to me. LOL.

What about PEACHES O'HOULIHAN?
I know he isn’t a super hero and he is definitely not Marvel, but when he talks I feel like I just am getting hit in the head with a wrench.

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.

You missed a little detail... Don't worry though, I fixed it for you already:

To fix that, lock the proportions, and then use the Transform tool to invert it. That way the light will come in from
the top left.
In theory, of course
