1 Character Was Wasted By Both The MCU & DCEU... But Both Could Still Fix It

:0:0

One character has been unfortunately wasted across both the MCU and DCEU, though the franchises could still rectify this mistake in the future - especially through Thor 5 in the MCU's case. Given the separate entities of Marvel Comics and DC Comics, it is rare that the same character exists across both brands. While they have similar characters, such as Hyperion and Superman, Daredevil and Batman, and Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman, rarely does the exact same character crossover into both franchises.
This is even more the case with the iterations of Marvel and DC on film. With the MCU having their roster of superheroes for the Infinity Saga mostly established by 2012's The Avengers, the DCEU could begin in 2013 with characters in mind that have enough uniqueness to differentiate the Warner Bros. universe. However, one specific character who has interestingly appeared in both the MCU and DCEU has been sorely wasted by both franchises, something both Marvel and DC Studios need to rectify in the coming years.
Zeus Was Mostly Wasted By The MCU & DCEU

That character is none other than Zeus, the Greek god of thunder. The character was first canonized in the DCEU with a mention in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before going on to be revealed as the father of Wonder Woman in 2017's film of the same name. The character then physically appeared in flashbacks in Justice League and Zack Snyder's Justice League. The MCU version of Zeus was first mentioned in 2011's Thor, before actually appearing in 2022's Thor: Love and Thunder. Despite the many references and mentions of each version of Zeus, both the MCU and DCEU have mostly wasted the character.
