Hello, everybody, it’s me Peter Lawless again. As
you probably all know, I like the Avengers movies and the Star Trek franchise. Today
I recently thought of what it would be like to see various Star Trek characters
assume the roles of various Avenger superheroes.
So without any hesitation, I present to you…
The Top 10 STAR TREK Characters that would make good
doubles for the AVENGERS
Author’s note:
For this list, I’ve picked various characters from
both the Original Series and the Next Generation timelines. Also, this list
doesn’t have all of the Avengers and I’m only picking the good guys. Mainly because
I’m thinking of another list for Star Trek/Avengers villain combinations.
10. Data as The Vision
Why?: When you really think about it, Data and
Vision are pretty much similar. They are both Artificial Intelligence who are
fascinated by humanity and try to become more human than were made for.
9. Worf as Thor
Why?: Like with Data and Vision, Worf and Thor are
similar. Both come from civilizations obsessed with honor and warrior values.
The only difference between them is that Klingon society is a bit more violent
than Asgardian society.
8. Spock as The Hulk
Why?: I know this matchup seems a bit… illogical
(I’m sorry, I couldn’t resistJ). However, it
would be pretty awesome to see the most calm, cool and collected alien in all
of science fiction to suddenly turn into the angriest superhero in comic book
history. Since Spock is half human, he has trouble repressing his emotions.
Throw in a little gamma radiation incident on the Enterprise, and you’ve got
one “Hulkin’ Vulcan” (Man, I’m on a roll todayJ).
7. Geordi LaForge as War Machine
Why?: LaForge is an engineer with a visor and
cybernetic eyes. War Machine is basically a military man with a awesome suit of
armor. Put them together, and you’ve got a recipe for success.
6. Kira Nerys as Black Widow
Why?: Honestly, I was going to give this role to
Beverly Crusher and then to Tasha Yar, but Kira Nerys is a lot tougher than
both of them. Both Black Widow and Kira Nerys can kick butt and also solve
problems without the assistance of men to help them.
5. Deanna Troi as Scarlet Witch
Why?: Troi can read people’s minds while Scarlet
Witch can control and mess up people’s minds. With the Witch’s powers, Troi
could use her advanced empathic abilities to fool enemies.
4. Benjamin Sisko as Sergeant Fury
Why?: Sisko is a natural leader, so it would make
since that he is the leader of this “Avengerprise” (I just can’t turn off the
bad puns, folksJ). All jokes
aside, Sisko and Fury can both get things done. Even if it means violating
their orders or prime directives.
3. Bones McCoy as Ant-Man
Why?: I don’t know why I choose Bones as Ant-Man.
Maybe I was just out of ideasL.
2. William Riker as Iron Man
Why?: What can I say? Chicks dig heroic guys with
beards, Nuff saidJ!!!
1.
James Kirk as Captain America
Why?: both Captains truly represent heroic courage
and leadership in their own movies. If you were to combine these two, the whole
universe would be safe.
Do you like my list? Do you think I missed any
combinations?
If you do like my list or have your own combo ideas,
leave a comment in the section below and I’ll post it on my next blog.
And don’t worry, the next list I publish won’t have that
many puns in itJ.
