Marvel Tarot Deck

Brainstorming

So, some ideas:


Deadpool for the Fool

Thor for Strength or the Sun

Dr. Strange for the Magician

Black Widow for the High Priestess or Temperance

Steve Rogers (Captain America) for Justice or perhaps Strength?

Loki for the Hanged Man

Reed Richards (of the Fantastic 4) for King of Swords


Thoughts:
-the 7 of Swords is perfect for plenty of villains (over-confidence, getting caught in the act, etc), especially one that was originally a friend or ally of a hero
- from the meaning alone I think the Queen of Swords is a pretty good fit for Iron Man, or maybe the Knight of Wands

-Captain Marvel, who is awesome, deserves an appropriately high-powered card
-other characters I want to find perfect cards for are Hawkeye, Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier), Maria Hill, Nick Fury, Carter, Daredevil, Sif, Pepper Pots (who might make a great Temperance?), the Hulk, and Thanos
-Peter Quill (Starlord from Guardians of the Galaxy) is a better fit for the Fool than even Deadpool, but I'm reluctant to give that to him, and am looking for something better for him.

I dunno if this has been brought up before, but Marvel did a comic series and a sourcebook regarding the Tarot as it pertains to the Marvelverse.

It's actually really cool- it uses Rider Waite Smith imagery, but it substitutes their own canon characters in as figures done up in the same art style, and their Aces are the four Cornerstones of Creation from one of their long-time plot lines.

Maybe check it out?

The series is called Mystic Arcana, and you can find the book with all the comics and the sourcebooks here:
