Squirrel Girl is arguably one of my favorite Marvel characters who has yet to appear in the MCU. But what makes her so amazing is that she is a character that, without knowing her powers, you would thing that she's a Mary Sue. She's at the same power level as the Living Tribunal, and she defeated Doctor Doom by herself. Granted it was a Doombot, but she's also defeated Thanos in more recent years. Thing is, though, she can talk to squirrels and control them. If it weren't for her defeating Doctor Doom, she would have become a 60s Aquaman level of memetic loser. But since she defeated a powerful villain in what was undoubtedly just meant to be played for laughs, she became a meme, and then ascended to be one of the most popular characters. And by god, she is awesome. It's a shame the live-action New Warriors series was cancelled, though, because I cannot wait long enough to see her on the big screen. Keep up the good work, you comedically OP badass.
