D&D General Explaining D&D classes using the Marvel Cinematic Universe

[Paul Farquhar]

Mads Mikkelsen's character in Doctor Strange is the closest I can think of to a warlock (muticlass wizard). Scarlet Witch is a sorcerer.

This is where you get into problems with this kind of thing. Scarlet Witch plays like a warlock - mostly just shoots energy bolts, but can do some other magic, but has a sorcerer type origin.

In MCU Venom fit Warlock.

I think that technically Venom isn't in the MCU.

Am I the only one questioning Spider-Man as a monk? I know he uses martial arts, but nothing else about him seems even vaguely monk-like.

Well then, maybe not Spider-Man - but certainly Night Monkey! He's even got "Monk" in the name!

I think we should seperate Theme and mechanics.
X-men are all Sorcerer for the thematic of blood line and innate power. But their mechanics and tools is express by several classes.

 

[Krachek]

Thematically I see Thor as a vengeance paladin. Anger, wrath, loose canon, personal valor code.

Black Panther seem more related to Druid. Its spirit of panther can be seen as a kind of permanent wild shape power. Mechanicly he is help by a high tech body armor but he only wear it, he don’t design it like Iron man. At last a druid that wear a metal armor!

Vision is a weird case. Sorcerer for some crazy power, but also paladin style sense of valor,

Thanos fit best a cleric.
Quest based on philosophical belief.
army of devoted followers.
use god level artifacts.

I've gotta jump on the "Captain Marvel = warlock" side. Patron: The Tesseract.

Her pact wasn't voluntary, and her patron isn't sentient (as far as we know)--but the basic shape of her backstory is a pretty classic warlock story: mundane person comes into contact with supernatural power source and emerges able to use a part of the power for herself.

I get what you're saying about Scarlet Witch having the classic warlock "vibe," but then, 5E has tons of different kinds of warlocks.

It's a specific thing

Scarlet Witch is the same thing. Her patron is the Mind Stone.

So the question is if we must fill the role of Sorcerer with a character, which character is the best fit?
