What Marvel comic would you like to see animated?

Since we had a topic for DC comics, why not have one for Marvel comics regarding on animation? So are there any comics that are from Marvel you'd like to see adapted for animation?

If there's one thing I'd like to see happen its an animated feature or animated series of Howard The Duck(Don't remind, I know Disney owns marvel). I am aware that this wont even happen. But I would love to see a 2D animated feature that is more true to the stories of Howard the duck. According to the DVD commentary on Howard the Duck, the writers were considering doing it as an animated feature. Needless to say Universal told them to make it live-action to put a film for the summer release. Not a bright move if you ask me, :rolleyes:.

I'd also like to see an animated series of Daredevil. Kinda surprised that hasn't happened yet.

    As I said in the DC thread. Exiles

    Alternate reality Marvel is awesome, as it takes what most casual readers know, then plays on that creatively.

    The Exiles is the comic series that played with the What if? and added overlaying story and characters.

    Plus Morph. :D

    EDIT: I think what I loved about the series was that the main crew were the unusual suspects.
    They were mostly X-men, but they weren't all main ones.
    And the ones that were always had a twist to their background, that ultimately would affect aspects of their personality.

    Exiles was brilliant. I started to lose interest about halfway through Tony Bedard's run when the Timebroker turned out to be a bunch of... bug... things. But the original run, Judd Winick's I think, was fantastic.

    What I thought made Exiles especially great was that unlike in every other Marvel book, the characters were really mortal. They died and because they weren't A-list characters that would ever show up in the main Marvel Universe, they actually stayed that way. When dead-actually-means-dead and you feel like the characters are actually in danger, it's just a hundred times more interesting. I don't know if any comic book moment made me sadder then when
    Sunfire
    died. I wasn't reading it anymore by the time Claremont took over writing it, but I was pretty bummed to hear that it continued to interact with characters from the main universe all the time. Kinda removes the whole appeal of it.

    I second these, and also throw in Hulk and Deadpool.

    I feel mostly sorry for Mimic though. I mean being forced to fight the brood for years, forced to kill his own team mate, then after giving up fighting, ironically puts his whole team in even more trouble when he becomes possesed by Proteus (who I will admit is an awesome villain like Hyperion).

    But yeah, what makes the series so great was the vulnerability, of the characters which made it feel more realistic.

    Plus the great character development, (even filler didn't feel like filler, as you knew that they were never truley safe, and that at any time, they could end up in extreme danger. The tension was there in the characters all the time, which made them so more believable).

    Deadpool. He always gets the shaft when it comes to animated series. He was in the X-Men cartoon for a combined total of about 3 seconds, and was scheduled to be in Wolverine and the X-Men before it got canned.
