This entry explores the report of Wonder Man possibly joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and how he fits into Kevin Feige\u2019s plans.&lt;\/em&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p>We\u2019ve said it before, and we\u2019ll probably say it again: No comic book character is too obscure to get the Marvel Studios treatment. Rocket Raccoon, Shang-Chi, and Moon Knight could barely sustain their own comic title. Now, they\u2019re household names.\u00a0Hell, they\u2019ve even resurrected Howard the Duck.<\/p>\n<p>The entire MCU was built around <em>Iron Man<\/em>. Pre-2008, Tony Stark was considered a second-tier or third-tier supporting player within the comic book realm. That idea today seems absolutely absurd. If Marvel Studios has proven anything, even the silliest concepts can become blockbuster badasses when paired with the proper creative team. Audiences will accept the silly and the wild. In fact, they crave it.<\/p>\n<p>Getting word that <em>Shang<\/em>\u2013<em>Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/em> director\u00a0<strong>Destin Daniel Cretton <\/strong>and <em>Brooklyn<\/em> <em>Nine<\/em>\u2013<em>Nine<\/em> writer\/producer <strong>Andrew Guest<\/strong> are working on a <strong><em>Wonder Man<\/em><\/strong> series for Disney+ is still deliciously ridiculous. In some circles, the comic book character is an object of ridicule. In other, wiser circles, the character is an alarming indication of where the MCU might be heading with a few of its Avengers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_Wonder_Man\"><\/span>Who is Wonder Man?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wonder Man, aka Simon Williams, first <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared in 1964\u2019s<em> The Avengers<\/em> #9. He\u2019s the collaborative creation of <strong>Jack Kirby<\/strong>, <strong>Don Heck<\/strong>, and <strong>Stan Lee<\/strong>. Most interestingly, Wonder Man arrived as a threat to Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes and died in that issue. Ah, but what does death mean in comics? Absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Eight years after his introduction and demise, Wonder Man returned in <em>The Avengers<\/em> #103 as a comatose prisoner to the diabolical Kang the Conqueror. Yes, this is where things get crazy. Those paying close attention to Phase 4 after the <em>Loki<\/em> season one finale should have their ears pricked.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve known for a while that Kang will terrorize Ant-Man and the Wasp in their <em>Quantumania<\/em> sequel. However, Kang\u2019s treacherous reign and <strong>Jonathan Majors<\/strong>\u2018 performance of him will not be contained to one mere sequel. In <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/kevin-feige-next-saga-marvel-comments\/\">an interview with Total Film magazine<\/a>, <strong>Kevin Feige<\/strong> recently stated that the larger picture would soon reveal itself to Marvel fans. Plenty of hints have already been dropped regarding the current saga\u2019s destination. Kang and Wonder Man fit nicely into those plans.<\/p>\n<p>Kang revives Wonder Man as a weapon against the heroes. He\u2019s easily thwarted, but this is not the last time Wonder Man is manipulated in such a fashion. Each time he\u2019s brainwashed by a psycho to do some dark bidding. After Kang comes the Black Talon, and after that nutter, the Living Laser.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Marvel_Studios_Already_Tried_a_Wonder_Man\"><\/span>Marvel Studios Already Tried a Wonder Man<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What\u2019s most significant, though, is what happened to Wonder Man before his resuscitation. While trapped in suspended animation, the murderous robot Ultron used his brain patterns to create Vision. It\u2019s similar to what went down in <em>Avengers<\/em>: <em>Age of Ultron<\/em>, but obviously, minus Simon Williams.<\/p>\n<p>We must consider where Vision and Kang are at this moment in the MCU. Sylvie killed He Who Remains during <em>Loki<\/em>\u2018s climax, which allowed the Multiverse to erupt again, freeing the many Kangs to run amuck. At the end of <em>WandaVision<\/em>, we saw how S.W.O.R.D. pieced together Vision after his encounter with Thanos in <em>Avengers<\/em>: <em>Infinity War<\/em>. The new and \u201cimproved\u201d Vision not only lacked the original\u2019s Time Stone, but he seemed emotionally distant too.<\/p>\n<p>Wanda\u2019s Westview-fabricated Vision battled the zombie white Vision and achieved victory only after he unlocked the memories buried in the other Vision\u2019s databanks. The restored Vision currently remembers his time with Wanda and the Avengers but feels nothing toward him. He needs to reclaim his humanity, for lack of a better word. Simon Williams, the Wonder Man, could be the human to help.<\/p>\n<p>We nearly made contact with Simon Williams in <em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol<\/em>. <em>2<\/em>. Writer\/director James Gunn cast his frequent collaborator\u00a0<strong>Nathan Fillion<\/strong> in the role and almost shot some scenes with the actor. Alas, those sequences were cut, and <em>Wonder Man<\/em>\u2018s time in the franchise was put on hold. If you look closely in the background of the film\u2019s few Earth-set sequences, you can spot a movie poster featuring Simon Williams.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wonder_Man_Wanda_and_Vision\"><\/span>Wonder Man, Wanda, and Vision<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the comics, before battling Captain America and his buds, Wonder Man made a living on the big screen. Williams pushes himself even further into Hollywood when he gains his superstrength and ion-based energy powers. He was less of a reality star and more of an Audie Murphy type, using his superhero experiences as the backbone of his cinematic exploits.<\/p>\n<p>As you might guess, this greatly enlarges Wonder Man\u2019s ego, and part of his charm is how unsufferable he can sometimes be. It\u2019s easy to imagine a situation where Simon Williams, the actor, is gravely injured during an MCU blowout. Vision is nearby. So is Hank Pym or Bruce Banner or some other smart guy Marvel scientist. They plant his brain patterns into the new-old Vision to save Simon Williams\u2019 life. The communion allows Vision to reconnect with his emotions. He\u2019s almost like the Vibranium-skinned hero we once knew, except he has Simon Williams\u2019 thoughts rattling around inside.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a <em>WandaVision<\/em> sequel where Vision and Wonder Man come together and come apart. They are two wretchedly flawed creations. Both suffer from tremendous psychological and physical pain. Both are healed through platonic and romantic relationships\u2026relationships with Wanda.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, back in the books, when Vision and Wanda initially split over that whole fake kid thing, Wanda gravitated toward Wonder Man. After all, Vision\u2019s brain patterns were lifted from him anyway. She gets another try with the same fella, sorta. It\u2019s creepy and weird and oh so delightfully Marvel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wonder_Man_is_an_Easy_fit_for_the_MCUs_Future\"><\/span>Wonder Man is an Easy fit for the MCU\u2019s Future<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wanda appeared to perish in <em>Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/em>, but, again, you can\u2019t trust a death if you don\u2019t see a body. And even then, you can\u2019t trust a death. Comic book stakes are not about who lives and who dies. Comic book stakes are rooted in emotional torment. The physical stuff, including the punching and kicking, always takes a backseat to the hyper-realized inner conflict. No one really cares whether Wanda is too strong for the MCU or not. They do care whether she and Vision can return to that all too brief blissful moment before Thanos\u2019 children ruined everything.<\/p>\n<p>Wonder Man does not have the most interesting moniker in comics. Kirby, Lee, and Heck probably just went, \u201cWell, DC has Wonder Woman. Why can\u2019t we have Wonder Man?\u201d And we\u2019re all stuck with it.<\/p>\n<p>Wonder Man\u2019s journey through Marvel Comics is super weird, though. The further the MCU continues, the weirder it will be and needs to be. Wonder Man perfectly slides into Phase Four or Five. He\u2019ll provide plenty of hot gossip for us to dish over, breathing new awkward life into Wanda and Vision\u2019s romance while stirring heated online debate.<\/p>\n<pre><code>    Related Topics: Marvel Explained\n    &lt;!-- AUTHOR BOX --&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"gray-bg p-4 border small mb-5\">\n<div class=\"row align-items-center text-md-center\">\n<div class=\"col-md-2\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/brad.jpg\" class=\"circle img-fluid\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md\">\n            Brad Gullickson is a Weekly Columnist for Film School Rejects and Senior Curator for One Perfect Shot.
