Over 28 films and seven Disney+ series, Marvel has taken viewers through emotional journeys and to wonderful new worlds. Despite such success and vast storytelling, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has only scratched the surface of more than 80 years of comic history — even if they've already told some of the publisher's most famous stories.

The X-Men's latest re-introduction in the comics would make a great jumping-off point for the MCU, especially since so many of the team's iconic characters have already been portrayed in prior films. In House of X/Powers of X, mutants claimed a home country of their own on the fictional island of Krakoa, and finally worked together for the betterment of mutant-kind.

Moira MacTaggert, a mutant who can be reincarnated after her death with all her previous memories intact, is also reborn back to her initial conception. This allows her to rewrite historical events in a Groundhog Day-like scenario, wherein she discovers working together may be the only way to defeat Nimrod, an alien robot that commits mutant genocide in the future.

Lunella Lafayette, a.k.a. Moon Girl, is a roller-skating 9-year-old and has been confirmed to be smartest human on Earth. Through a shared mental link, she can communicate with a massive Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur from the past, who excels in the brawn her tiny body and superior mind lack.

Aimed at a younger audience, Moon Girl can help round out MCU's next generation of heroes. It can even appeal to the youngest MCU fans if the heroes posses friendships as cute, smart, and strong as Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur's.

When the MCU is ready for another Infinity Stone event, Infinity Countdown may be the best answer. Having ties to characters currently waiting for their next story beats, the story can incorporate the Guardians of the Galaxy, Gamora, and Adam Warlock.

With part of her soul trapped within the Soul Stone, Gamora betrays her team by seeking out the Infinity Gauntlet to reclaim her missing piece and finally get revenge against Thanos. Of course, nothing remains permanent in Marvel Comics, but Infinity Countdown remains the last great Infinity stone arc of the past five years.

Johnny Blaze doesn't know how he got there, or what happened to him, but he's got a Parasyte-like mouth coming out of the stitches on his head and a lot of horror waiting around the corner.

Much like Spider-Man: Homecoming, if the MCU is going to do another story about Phoenix and the X-Men, it might be better to skip all the origin stories readers already know and just get right to the action.

1 Secret Wars Capped-Off Years Of Multiverse Chaos

Heroes from different realities clash in a massive battle in Marvel Comics

The multiverse drama in the MCU is likely headed toward a clash like Secret Wars, which saw other multiverses threatening to collide with ours and lead to our total destruction. Called "incursions," the Avengers had to work with unlikely allies to destroy the other worlds before they could collide with their own.

The event ended with many characters — most notably Miles Morales — joining the 616 heroes in one shared universe. This resulted in more uniform storytelling within Marvel Comics but also allowed for fan-favorite characters like Miles to exist alongside Peter Parker.
