1) Miles Morales

Okay, two spider characters right at the head of this list? Pretty unimaginative, huh?
Miles Morales’ Ultimate Spider-Man series has proven to be immensely popular with Marvel fans, and the fact that the publishers are maintaining both him and Peter Parker in the wake of their fat-trimming Secret Wars storyline proves that Morales has become just as vital as Peter.
So why, then, with the MCU expanding into space with Guardians Of The Galaxy, can’t the films soon open up to encompass the alternate universes that existed in the Marvel world for so long? It doesn’t have to be Peter or Miles, as both characters could exist together in the MCU.
The popular mini-series Spider-Men proved just how interesting it can be when the two versions of the hero meet, and adding Miles as a fresh foil could help prevent a twice-rebooted Peter Parker from growing stale before we get a good series out of him. Kevin Feige may have denied that Miles would be appearing anytime soon, but did still express an interest in employing the hero at some point down the line. We have to hope he and the studios pursue this, as the character would ultimately (no pun intended!) be a true asset to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
