Generation One
When I thought about Tony Stark, I immediately thought of this book. A unique sci-fi novel that involves saving the world through a video game with homages to 80s pop culture is honestly something I can definitely see our favorite Genius/Billionaire/...
Ready Player One: A Novel | Tony Stark
The Gilded Wolves is the first book in a trilogy with high stakes, romance, mystery, and politics. Couple that with found family elements, and this screams of something I would definitely recommend to Steve myself.
The Gilded Wolves: A Novel // Steve Rogers
A novel about flawed people trying to find community despite their individual challenges? I can't relate that to our favorite rage monster at all.
Normal People | Bruce Banner
A dark feminist retelling of the Wizard of Oz featuring Dorothy as the villain? Natasha would eat this up (as well as the other three books!)
Dorothy Must Die (Dorothy Must Die Series #1) | Natasha Romanoff
I have nothing to say about this besides I truly believe Thor would read this in his pursuit to understand Earth culture.
The Lord of the Rings | Thor Odinson
A novel about an average Joe attempting to help save the world? That doesn't remind me of an archer at all.
Project Hail Mary | Clint Barton
Generation Two
A novel about a girl who grows up only knowing one way, only to have one encounter that changes everything? If this intrigues you outside the context of Wanda Maximoff, I humbly recommend giving this book a try.
The Daughter of Doctor Moreau | Wanda Maximoff
A horror/dark academia novel featuring witchcraft? Right up a one Stephen Strange's ally.
Ninth House | Stephen Strange
A book about a teen living a different life because of a strong sense of justice? I can absolutely imagine Peter Parker eating this fast-paced YA thriller during slow times on patrol.
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder #1) | Peter Parker
I read this book immediately after Black Panther came out and found so many parallels to the movie and the themes both stories portray. If for no other reason besides the cover, please read this book. It is so so good.
Children of Blood and Bone (Legacy of Orïsha Series #1) // T'Challa
Six of Crows follows a highly skilled group of misfits who shouldn't work together, but do, and even become family. Somewhat similarly to our Guardians, complete with weird creatures and unreal situations!
Six of Crows (Six of Crows Series #1) ~ Guardians of the Galaxy
Like Captain Marvel, Mexican Gothic follows a headstrong unlikely hero who goes to a new place filled with dangers only to unearth life changing secrets.
Mexican Gothic // Carol Danvers
We Were Eight Years in Power is an honest meditation on the shift of race and racism in America from the Reconstruction era to the Trump presidency. Like Sam Wilson, Ta-Nehisi Coates speaks with a strong wit and stronger sense of justice.
We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy | Sam Wilson
This is not so much based on his character, as it is a reference to an exchange Bucky and Sam had on The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 😂
The Hobbit ~ Bucky Barnes
Who Fears Death is a story about healing, survival, and discovering inner strength in the face of adversity.
Who Fears Death | Shuri
When I thought about books Vision would read in order to understand humanity in its less than perfect form, Dune kept coming to mind. Dune is a story of humanity, corruption, religion, and love.
Vision // Dune
Generation Three
Yellowface is a novel about racism and cultural appropriation, perfect for people who first watched the movie and then learned of the more... Problematic history of Shang-Chi.
Shang-Chi || Yellowface
Jackal is a horror mystery novel that delves into generational trauma and bias while being a helluva effective thriller. The main character is attempting to solve the disappearance of a young black girl in her majority white town - only this is just ...
Jackal ~ Monica Rambeau
