When the X-Men finally arrive in the MCU, one founding member deserves to have his powers and character explored more than they were in Fox's movies.

One of the founding members of the X-Men can have a better life in the MCU than he did in Fox’s X-Men universe. Only five years ago, the idea of the X-Men in the MCU would sound farfetched, given the state of Marvel and its ownership of cinematic rights. Yet, Disney struck the right deals, acquired 20th Century Fox, and gave Marvel the opportunity it needed. However, since the mutants' return to Marvel was teased back in 2019, the X-Men have yet to make an official MCU appearance.

The X-Men films never showed Iceman off to his fullest extent. His story was largely focused on his relationship with Rogue, which now, in retrospect, is a disservice to the character. Like many great characters, Iceman suffered from the problems that plagued the Fox X-Men franchise, including narrative inconsistency and a hyperbolic focus on certain heroes over others. Yet, they are not alone in diminishing Iceman’s potential.

The MCU Can Showcase Iceman Better Than Fox Ever Could On two important fronts, the MCU can show off Iceman better than Fox ever could. Primarily, his powers are incredible, greater than what many might presume from the X-Men films. They established the height of his powers and growth as a hero as his ice form, but that doesn’t even begin to scratch his full potential. In the comics, he is an omega-level mutant like Storm, Jean Grey, Magneto, and Franklin Richards.
