Deathlok
Deathlok might look a bit like a Marvel take-off of DC’s Cyborg mixed with a zombie but he’s actually much more than that (not to mention the fact that he predated Victor Stone by 8 years). The details have varied over time, but Deathlok is usually depicted as a military man who’s resurrected with cybernetic enhancements. The character’s original run in the 1970s was a leading voice at the time for mature comics and went on to inspire many future Marvel creators (including The Avengers’ Joss Whedon).
Yes, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fans will recall that J. August Richards has already played Deathlok in the first couple of seasons of the MCU-related show. But, if we’re honest, the series kind of wasted a character who could have a lot of potential to lead his own vehicle as a compelling anti-hero, so we’d be interested in seeing a rebooted take at some point.
Thankfully, that wouldn’t cause any continuity glitches as there have been several versions of Deathlok in the comics – AoS‘ Mike Peterson was even created for the show. Interestingly, one iteration – Henry Hayes – served as a soldier in Kandahar, much like Frank Castle in Netflix’s The Punisher. Spinoff, anyone?
