Mad Jim Jaspers
Mad Jim Jaspers is a British member of parliament who has most prominently appeared on panel as an antagonist to Captain Britain.
A mutant, Jaspers’ mutation occurred in his brain and gave him the magnificent power to alter reality on an absolutely enormous scale – arguably the most potent power in comics – and, as such, he is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe.
He can alter matter at an atomic level, create sentient life forms and heal from the most severe of wounds, but a side effect of his mutation is that he is somewhat insane – hence the “Mad” in his name – and, given the power he wields, that makes him extremely dangerous.
Such an antagonist has never been seen before in a comic book movie. A character with Jaspers’ unbalanced mental state and universal-scale reality warping powers would be very cool on screen.
The only problem at the moment is that there aren’t any heroes on screen who classically oppose him – but if a Captain Britain movie is ever made, he would be ideal.
