Damon Wayans, Jr.

As one of the leads on ABC's watercooler comedy "Happy Endings," the oldest son of "In Living Color" creator Damon Wayans finally seems headed for major stardom in his own right. Though perhaps not the most obvious casting choice for a tribal superhero hailing from the fictional African nation of Wakanda, the younger Wayans' down-to-earth persona and impressive sense of comedic timing (clearly passed down from his famous father) would probably make a good fit with the rapport already established among the other other "Avengers" cast members when that inevitable sequel rolls around.
