Feel free to add to the list, or make an argument for why a different character is a better choice to take a spot on our list of favorites.

I'm updating the list here as we go to keep it easy for folks to keep track of who we've identified so far.

 

[Fenya al'Caem]

Aludra as Tony Stark, maybe? I feel like they’re both inventors so it kind of fits?

 

[Alexr al'Petros]

Rand = Captain America (maybe too obvious)

 

[Dorian Har'Locke]

Cap isn't really the Chosen One though? My vote is Spidey, maybe Cable.

Especially with Mat as Deadpool.

Magneto is making too much sense these days to be Ishamael. I think that's gotta be the other X-Men big bad, with plenty of schemes:

Mister Sinister

 

[Boreas Silverfir]

Can't believe I didn't see Green Lantern as Perrin. A heroic corps defined by their power of will.

 

[Dorian Har'Locke]

Ravhin = Viktor von Doom
Moghedien = Mystique
Nynaeve = Storm

 

[Boreas Silverfir]

Was just doing some searching. I think another option for Aludra is Shuri from Black Panther.

Spoiler: Shuri Image

 

[Fenya al'Caem]

Ooh yes, Shuri is also perfect!

 

[Dorian Har'Locke]

Hell yeah

 

[Dorian Har'Locke]

Elayne = Starfire

 

[Boreas Silverfir]

Galad = Captain America

I think this fits better cause Cap always, always does the right thing. The entire Civil War arc is Cap doing the right thing for citizen rights over protecting citizens from superheroes. He really has no flaws and is a paragon of all that is good and just.

While Rand tries to be good and just, he often fails. Rand has many flaws. Maybe he's a Nightwing or Red Hood?

 

[Satara al'Caelahn]

Rand is more of an antihero than an actual hero, especially for most of his arc considering that he's... ya know... insane.

Moon Knight, maybe, especially considering his "Lews Therin" alter ego.

 

[Phen al'Rohan]

Ooh this is a cool thread, @Boreas Silverfir !

Would Thom be Professor X (born Charles Francis Xavier)?

 

[Boreas Silverfir]

Would Thom be Professor X (born Charles Francis Xavier)?

I like the idea. Though Xavier's temperament and position make me wonder if he's more of an Aglemar or Bryne type character.

I think we're all thinking it. Lan is Batman.

 

[Phen al'Rohan]

I think we're all thinking it. Lan is Batman.

Ooh, I like Prof X as a Great Captain!

I think of Lan as Wolverine. Lone wolf, the only one able to handle Nynaeve as The Phenix.

 

[Boreas Silverfir]

Love the Phoenix choice.

@Dorian Har'Locke what do you think of Venom for Masema? Anti hero who tries to do good but often does ill?

 

[Dorian Har'Locke]

I think Tony Stark would be someone smarmier? One of the lords I should think.

Ooh, I like Prof X as a Great Captain!

I think of Lan as Wolverine. Lone wolf, the only one able to handle Nynaeve as The Phenix.

Yeah, I love these choices, great picks Phen.

Love the Phoenix choice.

@Dorian Har'Locke what do you think of Venom for Masema? Anti hero who tries to do good but often does ill?

IDK, I feel like Venom should be one of the male channelers since Eddy tends to be a little unhinged and quite literally has another voice in his head.

If Rand is Spidey, then I think Logain as Venom?

That leads me to suggest Mazrim Taim should be another lantern: Guy Gardner.

 

[Boreas Silverfir]

Rand is Spidey, then I think Logain as Venom?

That leads me to suggest Mazrim Taim should be another lantern: Guy Gardner.

Looking into Guy Gardner some, makes me think maybe flip that. Logain as Guy and Taim as Venom. Logain doesn't turn on Rand the way Venom often does on Spiderman.

How about Lex Luther or Doc OC as Aginor?

 

[Phen al'Rohan]

Yeah, I love these choices, great picks Phen.

Thanks @Dorian Har'Locke ! I need to look into some of these characters.

 

[Dorian Har'Locke]

Looking into Guy Gardner some, makes me think maybe flip that. Logain as Guy and Taim as Venom. Logain doesn't turn on Rand the way Venom often does on Spiderman.

How about Lex Luther or Doc OC as Aginor?

Ah, but Gardner falls HARD turn during the Lantern Wars, goes Red. Maybe you're right with, especially where Eddy Brock is concerned. If it were Agent Venom, Flash Thompson, they idolize Spidey, but are undone by their bond with the symbiote.

I think Luthor as Aginor is good. Maybe Ra's al Ghul should be in the mix among the Forsaken? He's halfway there already. Maybe Asmodean even.

Thanks @Dorian Har'Locke ! I need to look into some of these characters.

We haven't cast many Aiel yet, I think for the Far Dareis Mai we open with the Bat Family standouts:
Barbara Gordon/Oracle = Amys
Kate Kane/Batwoman = Chiad
Stephanie Brown/Spoiler = Bain

And Richard Grayson/Nightwing = Gaul
