What Marvel character would you love to see get their own TV series?

I have to go with Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Get my first choice, Idris Elba to star as the pre-Avengers Nick Fury. He'd be the perfect black James Bond



Second choice is Lennie James.



Throw in some serious Steranko-style psychedelica action



And you've got something that I've love to see.

Lennie James even looks like the sort of character the Great Steranko would have drawn. AFAIK Steranko is still around - he could come aboard as a consultant. Gads, that could be fun.

"However, what made the Red Bee truly lame wasn’t just his eyesore of a costume, but the fact that he fought crime with the aid of a trained bumble bee! That’s right! You read it right! A trained bumble bee named Michael that lived in a compartment in the Red Bee’s belt buckle. I’m serious! A frikkin’ trained bumble bee… named Michael! "

Moon Knight, Daredevil and The Punisher. It looks like Marvel Studios is going to get the rights to Daredevil back from 20th Century Fox and they recently reacquired The Punisher. It could be like the old NBC Mystery movies with Columbo one week, McCloud the next and then McMillan and Wife. The characters could crossover with each other as needed.
