“Agents of SHIELD” is a great show with a bunch of great characters. I really like how they throw in Marvel characters as a special episode appearances or adding them as series regulars — Jason O’Mara’s character is said to be a deep cut from the golden age of Marvel.
I have quite the list of Marvel characters – heroes & villains – that I want to appear on the show.
10. Johnny Blaze (the FIRST Ghost Rider)

Now, some of you might be wondering “Why? We’re already getting Ghost Rider.” Yes, we are, but it’s not THE Ghost Rider I wanted. Also, why he is number ten? Don’t get me wrong. I’m still thrilled we are getting Ghost Rider on TV and I’m loving Robbie right now, but I was disappointed that it wasn’t Johnny Blaze. Out of all the, what, three Ghost Riders; he is my favorite. Johnny Blaze was the Ghost Rider I was exposed to. When people say, “Ghost Rider,” I think of Johnny Blaze (mainly Nicolas Cage in the Ghost Rider movie. I know…don’t blame me, Blame FOX. ). I really hope we see Johnny Blaze somehow on the show or in the MCU in general. How cool would it be to see a Johnny Blaze and Robbie Reyes fight to the death? That would be LIT! Literally!

FYI a Johnny Blaze, Robbie Reyes face off actually happened!
#9 Black Panther

A Black Panther crossover would be really cool to see! He seems like a character that the SHIELD folks would work with. And since he was such a popular character in “Captain America Civil War“, his appearance might boost the shows ratings a little bit. Possibly the only thing that might not let this happen is finding a good way to use Black Panther. The only way they can use him that makes sense is to hold some type of summit involving Wakanda. Production would also have to work around Boseman’s schedule due to him filming the Black Panther movie.
#8 Hank Pym

A Michael Douglas appearance on “Agents of SHIELD” would be quite…interesting. As of right now, it is unknown if Michael Douglas will be reprising his role in “Ant Man and the Wasp”. If he is still alive and is still in the MCU, AoS would be a cool place to use him until the second Ant Man movie. Like Black Panther, Hank Pym seems like someone SHIELD would call upon for assistance. Yes, Hank is a retired superhero and passed the mantel of the Ant Man to Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), but Hank can do more than be a superhero. The one thing the writers have to do is to come up with some type of event or threat that would involve SHIELD asking Hank for help. One cool thing they can do is have the current SHIELD agents travel back in time and run into YOUNG Hank Pym!

BOOM! We have a Hank Pym/Ant Man crossover! How cool would that be?! Seeing the SHIELD team working with a younger Hank Pym! Someone call ABC right now and tell them The Comic Factor has an idea for them!
#7 Blade

A Blade episode would make one heck of a Halloween episode, am I right? There is something about Blade that just makes me feel like he would be great in “Agents of SHIELD“. His appearance would make for a great scary movie type of episode involving vampires. A SHIELD episode would be a great lead into a Blade Netflix series! Like the other choices, the only thing that might not let this happen are ideas. I feel like AoS can pull it off since they have now gone down a darker path for the show. Not too dark, but dark enough to have Blade for an episode.
#6 Moon Knight

Like Blade, a Moon Knight appearance on “Agents of SHIELD” would be a great way to lead him to a Netflix series. It would make one heck of a episode! I think a Moon Knight episode would be REALLY epic. I can picture Keanu Reeves as Moon Knight. But, the one thing is, the AoS writers have to think of something to use Moon Knight for and I can’t think of anything! Marvels plans with Moon Knight are unclear and it’s rumored that he is to get a Netflix series. One can only hope he can appear on “Agents of SHIELD” for an episode.
#5 Crossfire

Crossfire was originally suppose to appear in “Ant Man” but was cut out of the movie. For those who don’t know, Crossfire is the brother to Darren Cross (Corey Stoll). Crossfire would be great for a AoS/Hank Pym crossover. He can target Hank to avenge his dead brother. A Crossfire episode would be an intense episode, kind of like the Deadshot episode on “Arrow.” It would revolve around SHIELD protecting Hank from Crossfire. Now, this might not work because he was originally going to be in the first “Ant Man,” but he was taken out of the film. I feel like he will be in “Ant Man and the Wasp“. If he does not get added into the movie, he would make a great AoS villain.
#4 Squirrel Girl

“Squirrel Girl? On a show like “Agents of SHIELD“? What are you thinking?”
I’m thinking that SG can add some lightness to AoS for an episode. Yes, the show has taken a darker path with some humor, but Squirrel Girl would add some funny, goofy humor to the show. Yes, she is going to be in the New Warriors show currently in development; but like some of the other choices, a AoS appearance would be a great lead into the New Warriors TV show. Or even yet, they can have Squirrel Girl AND the New Warriors crossover to AoS! The possibilities are endless due to their plans with SG. Plus, I really want to see SG interact with the SHIELD agents.
#3 Taskmaster

A lot of people want to see Taskmaster on AoS and I am one of them. He can REALLY give the SHIELD crew a hard time and provide them with a very hard challenge. Don’t get me wrong, all of the villains they have used so far are great, but Taskmaster is perfect for a show like “Agents of SHIELD.”
He’s menacing, tough, and he can predict your every move! He would be the ULTIMATE “Agents of SHIELD” villain. Not to mention that the fight scenes between him and the SHIELD agents would be incredible and have you at the edge of your seats. Can anyone picture Keanu Reeves as Taskmaster? I can and I want it to happen! That dude can fight.
#2 The Punisher

Yep. The Punisher. I know some of you have concerns that he is a dark, brutal character, but guys; they are using Ghost Rider, and he’s about as dark as Punisher. Plus, they can tone him down a pinch for a crossover, where he isn’t hanging dudes from meat hooks or laying waste to a bar filled with guys from the Irish mob. Punisher working with SHIELD would be something quite interesting and something I really want to see! And Jon Bernthal’s great acting mixed with that of the AoS cast would make a spectacular episode! And not to say it, but it would possibly be the most viewed.
It’s also rumored that Jon Bernthal will appear this season (said to be the season finale) and fight Robbie Reyes!

Imagine this, but with Robbie Reyes.
#1 Daredevil

For those of you who follow me on Instagram (@thecomicfactor), you know that Daredevil is the ONE character I want to see on AoS. This shouldn’t be much of a shocker. Daredevil is probably one of the most popular MCU characters right now (mainly due to Charlie Cox (love that guy). Everyone is really wanting him to interact with other MCU characters. That might happen in “Infinity War”, but it’s still up in the air.
I feel like having Daredevil crossover into Agents of SHIELD is a good way to get the character’s feet wet with working with some of the big dogs. I really want this to happen because I’m curious on how Daredevil and the SHIELD team would interact with each other.
Come on, don’t sit there and tell me a scene where Daredevil saves Fitz would not be amazing! I can see it now… amazing! With a popular character like Daredevil making a episode appearance on AoS, that episode could be the most viewed one (next to a Punisher episode); and possibly the most popular! And since “Daredevil” season 3 isn’t happening for a little bit, Charlie Cox is available to do a episode. So ABC…GET ON IT!
