Beyond The Defenders: 10 Characters We Want To See In Future Marvel/Netflix Series

4) The Hood

With the Hand now out of the way, there needs to be a new villain waiting in the wings of these shows who will eventually come to the fore for the next Defenders team-up event. It’s a tough call to find a threat that mixes street-level crime with mysticism in the same way as the ninja clan, but one character in particular does spring to mind.

Parker Robbins AKA The Hood is a minor hoodlum who rises to the top of the pack and becomes a powerful crime boss after he summons a demon, kills it and steals its magic cloak and boots. With these items, the Hood has the power of invisibility and levitation – perfect for committing crimes.

If you think he still sounds small-fry compared to the Hand, you should know that the Hood is one of the few beings to have wielded the Infinity Gauntlet in the comics. It could be a nice link to the movies, then, if he was to at least get his hands on one Infinity Stone in a future Netflix show.

A villain who leans into the horror-infused end of the Marvel universe would especially be a good idea if the likes of Ghost Rider and Moon Knight are entering the Netflixverse soon. Not to mention our next choice…
