I know she may be one of the more obscure Avengers, but there's a lot I think Moondragon could add to the MCU Avengers:
1. She's one of the most singular and self-reliant of the female Avengers. Some of the more classic characters are some of my favorites, but the Wasp, She-Hulk, Captain Marvel, and Scarlet Witch are all characters associated with another male hero, so I think it would be cool to see someone like Moondragon who has her own distinct powers and back-story that's completely separate from any of the others.
2. Her powers of telepathy and telekinesis are especially distinct in the MCU, since that reality doesn't have any mutants. And as we've seen from Fox's X-men movies, telepathy especially is one of those powers that can very simply and effectively open up distinct storytelling possibilities.
3. Though she is fairly obscure, she's certainly no more obscure than Drax the Destroyer, who is not only being featured in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but is also Moondragon's long-lost father. In fact, her whole origin story is intrinsically connected to Thanos, who's also slated to be a major force in the MCU in general, so it would really make sense to have her around from that perspective too.
What do you guys think?
