10‘Tomorrow People’ Is The Badass Origin The MCU’s X-Men Needs
Ultimate X-Men#1-6 by Mark Miller and Adam Kubert
The very nature of the Ultimate Universe makes it perfect for alive - action mechanism adjustment . Most adaption take the generator material and compress / rework it into a more streamlined tale - and that ’s on the button what the Ultimate Universe did with the original Earth-616 persistence . Not only that , but the Ultimate Universe ( while it had its shift ) made much every character it bear on way more badass , and the Ultimate X - serviceman were no exception .
The board of these mutants coming together to spring the original five is a plot line in and of itself , but Tomorrow People takes things even further by include not just the Sentinels , but also Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants . This one account arc could easy beX - Men ’s first trilogy in the MCU , one which would dead lay the cornerstone for decennium of storytelling .

Ultimate X-Men#7-12 by Mark Miller and Adam Kubert
While much of what this funny arc does was already make for to live - action inX2 : X - Men United(married with aspects ofGod Loves , Man Kills ) , that should n’t think the MCU should omit it . ‘Return to weapon system X ’ is the complete origination to the nefarious organization , as it coerce every member of the X - Men to experience a bare taste of what Wolverine went through for age . Plus , it ’s a dandy direction to allay into Wolverine ’s yesteryear naturally , while bring out some of the X - Men ’s most iconic villains , like Sabretooth and Juggernaut along the fashion .
Obviously , the MCU would need to explore Wolverine ’s personal time with arm X in a later celluloid or series , but that should n’t bechance untilX - Menfans are proverbially slapped in the face with the horrors that Weapon X really represents - and this plot line does that better than any other .

WolverineVol. 3 #1-5 by Greg Rucka and Darick Robertson
Wolverine has no famine of standalone storylines , but more often than not , they be given to veer into the mystery of his past , or have Brobdingnagian implication on his future . The reasonLoganwas such a hit with lover is that it was a ego - contained Wolverine storyline that was brutal and dear . The only problem is , it was also set basically in a post - mutant cosmos - not to mention he died at the terminal . essentially , movies like Logan ca n’t be made every Clarence Shepard Day Jr. , and not every Wolverine standalone story call for to be profound or redefining . Sometimes Wolverine just needs to go on a missionary post that ’s dark , gritty , and badass- and that ’s on the button what ‘ Brotherhood ’ allows him to do .
‘ Brotherhood ’ is a self - contained storyline that takes home in the innovative day , yet is equivocal enough to have befall at any point in the widerX - Mencanon , meaning this is a report the MCU can tell anytime it want . Plus , the portrayal of Wolverine that ’s brought to the page by Darick Robertson need to be how the case is portrayed in live - action - in all his short , grumpy glory .
7‘You Always Remember Your First Love’ Should Redeem Gambit’s Live-Action Misfires
Ultimate X-Men#13-14 by Chuck Austin and Essad Ribic
Gambit was think to get his own live - military action standalone film before the idea was scrapped , which was news that came after his live - action first appearance inX - Men Origins : Wolverine . It ’s fair to say that both instances were misfires . While Gambit buff have suffered for year because of this , it ’s really a ripe thing , as the fibre ’s slate has efficaciously been wiped clean , make him more than ready for the MCU discourse .
give the previously unkept promise and ultimate disappointment regarding Gambit ’s hot - action depiction , there ’s a significant amount of pressure on the MCU to get the character right , and this storyline is the perfect one to base him on . Gambit is demo as being more than just a former thief who became an X - military personnel , but a solo diacetylmorphine his own rightfield , with run - in with New York City ’s criminal Hades that could easily tie his story in with the the likes of of Echo or Daredevil .
6‘The Most Dangerous Game’ Is The Perfect MCU Intro For Mojo & Krakoa
Ultimate X-Men#54-57 by Brian K. Vaughn and Stuart Immonen
Mojo is an unnecessarily complicated type with not that slap-up of a return , story - wise . He ’s a multidimensional manufacturer who runs survival - style game show that diddle on screen across the have it away population , and he does this from his own pocket dimension known as the Mojoverse . Not only that , but his coming into court is absolutely vile , and not idealistic for a alive - activity delineation ( as he ’d practically be one hundred percent data processor generated , which is a fad many fans are already sick of ) . In the Ultimate Universe , however , Mojo is acquaint as a fairly normal look person , who still has a selection - based television series , but one that ’s film on Krakoa rather of a unlike dimension .
adapt this storyline in the MCU would not only usher in Mojo in a way that ’s much easier for fans to swallow than the Earth-616 interlingual rendition , but it ’d also subtly introduce Krakoa , whichcould take into a alive - action adaptation of the X - mankind ’s more late Krakoan Age .
5‘Ultimate War’ Is A More Straightforward ‘Avengers vs X-Men’
Ultimate War#1-4 by Mark Miller and Chris Bachalo
When the Adam - Men are introduced in the MCU , it ’s a given that they will have to battle the Avengers . While Earth-616 has the iconic ‘ Avengers vs X - Men ’ plot line , that comic is rooted in deep lore , as it was the apogee of tensions that had been building sinceHouse of M , throughMessiah Complex , and even theDark Phoenix Saga . Basically , Avengers vs decade - Men is a turn much to accommodate . However,‘Ultimate War ’ is perfect for a lively - activity adjustment , as it ’s rooted in a unproblematic yet apprehensible misunderstanding that stem from the wider misgiving of mutantkind , even among other superheroes .
An ‘ Ultimate War ’ MCU event would n’t be as grand as something like the upcomingSecret Wars , but it would perhaps be immeasurably more impactful because it ’s a closer to base story about naval division . Plus , this would effectively allow the hug drug - humans to live in their own separate niche of the MCU following its conclusion , as they would n’t want anything to do with other MCU zep after that , and vice versa . This would forthwith allow for more ego - containedX - Menstorylines moving forward , even in the shared universe of the MCU .

3‘The Rise and Fall of the Shi’ar Empire’ Would Add The X-Men To The MCU’s Cosmic Side
Uncanny X-Men#475-486 by Ed Brubaker and Billy Tan
The Shi’ar Empire is the X - Men ’s doorway into the cosmic side of the Marvel Universe , which is something the MCU has explored extensively with the likes ofGuardians of the Galaxy , Eternals , andCaptain Marvel . Therefore , when the ecstasy - Men are eventually introduced in the MCU , it only makes sense that the cosmic side ofX - Mencanon should be introduce fair speedily as well , and this storyline is the perfect one to accommodate .
Not only does ‘ The acclivity and Fall of the Shi’ar Empire ’ give fans an in - profundity expression into the Shi’ar itself , but it does so through the eyes of Vulcan , the long - lost comrade of Cyclops and Havok . If bring to the MCU , this plot line would lend to Cyclops ’ established character while spread out the disco biscuit - Men up to the cosmic side of the MCU in a unique and exciting way .
2‘Cable’ Would Bring The X-Men Member’s Coolest Origin To The MCU
Ultimate X-Men#75-78 by Robert Kirkman and Ben Oliver
Cable ’s original origin story in Marvel Comics is absurdly tortuous , and not at all fit for a live - action adaption . EvenDeadpool 2brushed over it with little explanation , but when Cable is brought into the MCU right , his backstory will need to be told . However , that does n’t mean the MCU will have to employ his Earth-616 backstory , especially when his way cool Earth-1610 stemma is ripe for the picking .
In the Ultimate Universe , Cable is n’t Nathaniel Summers at all - he ’s Wolverine . The distant - future adaptation of Wolverine lost his healing factor and then lost his arm ( replace it with a robotic appendage ) , before traveling back in meter to monish the X - military personnel about a fearsome future that wait them . In a way , Deadpool 2 ’s edition of Cable could easily be the Ultimate version , stand for it ’s not too late for the MCU to go in this direction with the reference without any significant retcons .
1‘The Dark Angel Saga’ Would Perfectly Set Up X-Men’s Most Badass Story In The MCU: The Age of Apocalypse
Uncanny X-Force#11-18 by Rick Remender and Mark Brooks
While this X - Men storyline could in no mode be one of the first told in the MCU , it would be the perfect bridge between the MCU ’s Earth-616 ( formerly Earth-199999 ) and Earth-295 aka the reality of theAge of Apocalypse . The Dark Angel Saga is something of a sequel to theAge of Apocalypse , where the X - Force of Earth-616 physically travel to that world and interact with their random variable . If this is how fans are introduced to theAge of Apocalypse- as in , after the fact - then that give the doorway astray subject for a ‘ prequel ’ series that really conform the iconic crossover storyline from the ‘ 90s .
The Dark Angel Saga is a great storyline that deserves an adaptation , but its implication stretches far beyond its own plot line alone , as itcould last make a live - actionAge of Apocalypsefilm franchise a reality , which is something that every MCU fan would love to see . For that rationality , this is one of the 10 early 2000sX - Menstories that should be adapted by theMCUand influence their portrayals .
