Ruby Thursday

Ruby Thursday is another character who could appear in The Defenders. She’s a supervillain who relies on her intellect, rather than on her physical abilities. A brilliant scientist, Ruby Thursday found a way of enhancing her intellect by replacing her head with a ruby-colored computer.

In the comics, her head can take various shapes and can be used as a weapon (in the sense that it can fire energy blasts or form tentacles). So what if one of these shapes looks like Sigourney Weaver?

In the comics, Ruby has fought the Defenders on several occasions, even defeating them single-handedly at times (as a matter of fact, her first appearance was in the Defenders comics). So she is indeed a worthy opponent. There aren’t too many connections to be made with what we already know about the Netflix shows, but still – there are quite a few fans out there who want to see her on the small screen.

Furthermore, the character was also a skilled politician, at one moment even running for President. As seen in Luke Cage, politics plays an important part in the Marvel/Netflix shows. So what if…?
