Los Angeles Sports athletes’ Avengers counterparts
By Jason Reed
Phase three:
Ant-Man: Boban Marjanovic, Los Angeles Clippers
Ok, we are not really thinking about the ant version of Ant-Man here. Instead, we are thinking about the giant version of Ant-Man that we see in Captain America: Civil War as well as the second installment of the Ant-Man series.
Marjanovic might not be that tall but he is seven-foot three and can dunk without even jumping (His feet technically did slightly come off the ground but don’t be a buzz kill).

Doctor Strange: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Los Angeles Galaxy
There is a chance that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will get transferred away from the Los Angeles Galaxy in the coming transfer window but he is still a Los Angeles sports athlete for the time being.
Doctor Strange can do things and see things that nobody else in the Avengers can see. If any athlete is like the Master of the Mystic Arts, it is Zlatan.

Spider-Man: Walker Buehler, Los Angeles Dodgers
I really wanted to make Spider-Man Keenan Allen because of his long arms, speed and sticky hands when catching Rivers’ passes. However, I think that Walker Buehler is a better fit for the role.
Buehler is young, like Peter Parker, and is set to take over the Los Angeles Dodgers from Clayton Kershaw like Spider-Man is set to take over the reins of the MCU from Tony Stark.
Black Panther: Todd Gurley, Los Angeles Rams
Todd Gurley is quick, he is the best player on the best team in the NFL and he is freakishly athletic. He is a leader in every sense of the imagination and is the perfect choice for Black Panther.
Thanos: LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers
Thanos is the first traditional villain and the only traditional villain that we are including on this (Loki started as a villain but he evolved into much more than that as the franchise evolved).
Not only does LeBron’s beard and head shape kind of resemble Thanos’ head but LeBron is on the quest to assemble his own infinity stones — which is the chase for a second or even third superstar — in order to wipe out the Golden State Warriors.
The Wasp: Montrezl Harrell, Los Angeles Clippers
If Boban Marjanovic is Ant-Man then Montrezl Harrell has to be the Wasp. He and Marjanovic pack a nice 1-2 punch down low for the Clippers and Montrezl is smaller than traditional centers and is still putting together a great season.
