Over the years, the Marvel Universe has captivated audiences and inspired countless stories. However, one aspect that often goes unnoticed is the educational value of the Marvel Universe. While education might not be the primary focus of the hero vs. villain narrative, it’s worth noting that many heroes and even villains have taken on teaching roles in the comics and movies. This raises the question: which heroes would be best suited to teach others in real life? With their vast knowledge and life experience, these characters could provide invaluable lessons about the world.
Here are five heroes that would make great teachers:
5. Jessica Jones

At first glance, Jessica Jones might seem like an odd choice for a teacher, given her portrayal as a surly, alcoholic investigator in the Netflix series. However, beneath her tough exterior lies a wealth of life experience that could be invaluable to students. If Jessica could find the patience to work with students and navigate the challenges of creating lesson plans, she might just develop her own unique teaching style.
4. Vision

As a sentient AI with a physical body, Vision possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of virtually everything, making him an ideal candidate for a teacher. His only potential shortcoming might be his lack of a sense of humor, which could remind students that he’s a machine emulating human behavior. Nevertheless, Vision’s vast knowledge and ability to learn quickly could make him one of the greatest teachers of all time.
3. Jean Grey

Jean Grey has already served as a teacher at Xavier’s school, proving her ability to manage a classroom effectively. Her telepathic abilities would allow her to support students during difficult times and identify when they need help, making her an excellent counselor as well. Jean’s empathy and patience would make her a valuable asset to any educational institution.
2. Captain America

History and physical education would be natural subjects for Steve Rogers to teach, given his intelligence and physical prowess. As a firsthand witness to World War II, he could provide students with unique insights not found in history books. Additionally, his ability to inspire others would make him an excellent physical education teacher.
1. Beast
It’s hard to imagine a subject that Hank McCoy, aka Beast, wouldn’t be qualified to teach. As a genius and one of the most patient and compassionate members of the Marvel Universe, Hank has the perfect temperament for teaching. His experiences as a mutant have taught him to see the good in humanity, despite the hatred and bigotry he’s faced. This outlook would make him an exceptional teacher, capable of imparting valuable life lessons to his students.
Ultimately, most heroes have something to teach us, and their lessons extend far beyond simply vanquishing evil.
