Probably Colossus before the recent brainwashing incident.
Powerhouse character, sensitive artist, a genuinely good man. Deserved better than the crappy fake marriage. Deserves better than the “brainwashed by his brother” storyline.
When I was a kid, reading the original Avengers series, I really liked The Vision. Cool story, cool power, can fly.
A recent entry, but I adore Ms. Marvel. She’s very much like Peter Parker when he was introduced—teenager, dealing with real-world problems as well as superhero problems—except that she’s also a Pakistani immigrant living in New Jersey, so she has culture clash issues to deal with on top of the rest. The best parts of her story are when her superhero life intersects with her family/friends life, just like Peter Parker back in the 60s.
Not a fan of the new “she’s actually a mutant and being drawn into the Krakoa X-Men storylines”. I love the Krakoa X-men storylines but I think they don’t fit with her very grounded character.
Nightcrawler!
I’ve always wanted to see nightcrawler combined with Spiderman.
Have you read the recent Uncanny Spider-Man miniseries? It’s pretty much that!
Doreen Green aka Squirrel Girl. I love a lot of comics but I seriously looked forward to every single issue of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (2015-2019). Ryan North and Erica Henderson became one of my favorite creative teams for making something that is so hilariously clever at times and just absolute fun all the time.
The North/Henderson team also did the graphic novel The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe.
