8) Armor
Armor being an original creation of Joss Whedon’s from his Astonishing X-Men run should be enough to explain why she deserves the big screen treatment, but allow me to tell you a little more about her here.
Hisako Ichiki is a teenage mutant from Japan who was a student at the Xavier Institute, and her power allows her to create psionic “armor,” giving her enhanced strength and durability as a result.
Despite being far from a “classic” member of the X-Men, it would still be interesting to see Armor make an appearance in a future X-Men movie as an ally of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm. She’s also very unique from a visual standpoint, and definitely a lot different to the many other mutants we’ve seen on the big screen over the past 15 years. Adding some more diversity to the team also wouldn’t go amiss.
