I was thinking you know what would make a great TV Show? Avengers Academy. The comic features six teenagers who were experimented on by Spider-Man villain Norman Osborn and gain various powers through this, the Avengers start to worry that they'll become the next super-villains so basically set up a school led by Hank Pym to try and teach the kids how to use their powers or in some cases cure them outright.
The series could be a great live action series with various different guys from the MCU turning up plus it makes sense given the format. Each episode could basically show the various teachers trying to train the kids to defend themselves as well as teaching them the basic lessons that super-heroes learn to be like Iron Man or Captain America.
The main cast could consist of the main six students at first Reptile, Hazmat, Striker, Veil, Finesse and Mettle and then expand to include other characters. I imagine given Micheal Douglas is playing Hank Pym you'd need to have another hero ran the school but guys like Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Justice and Speedball could show up.
Plus I really want to see Jeremy Briggs turn up as a villain. Basically he was another subject of Norman Osborn who gained the ability to manipulate materials at a chemical level and plans on using a serum that removes super-powers to decide who can and can't have powers viewing the war between The Avengers and X-Men to basically show other heroes why the majority of them couldn't be trusted. The brilliance is that his almost like Andrew Ryan in that what Jeremy is a villain who's great at drawing people in to his way of thinking and the thing is his the first Marvel villain that had me thinking "Maybe his right" Magneto had a point but Jeremy Briggs almost comes across like he could be onto something.
Of course naturally he keeps his own powers and has the deciding vote leading the Academy Students to distrust Briggs basically under the impression that he only wants to do this so he only himself and people who agree with him can have powers.
