Honorable Mentions

Some movies feature Marvel characters, but aren’t part of the MCU–yet. But as Disney buys studios left and right, there’s no reason these characters–with great cat names–couldn’t appear in the MCU in the future.
If you haven’t seen the action-packed, hilarious Deadpool 2 yet, it’s currently on HBO, Youtube, VUDU, and more. If you have kids, I recommend Once Upon A Deadpool. It’s edited to a PG-13 rating and features Fred Savage.
Great cat names from Deadpool include: Wade, Cable, Ajax, Warlord, Weasel, Vanessa, Domino, Yukio, Buck, Negasonic, and Juggernaut.
Many of us have a Negasonic Teenage Warhead–“coolest name ever!”–in our human families. She’s always on her phone and disinterested in everything else. Maybe that describes your disinterested kitty!

Venom is one of my favorite Marvel films. Tom Hardy gives a stellar performance. It’s currently available on Starz, Amazon, and VUDU.
Fun cat names from the film include: Eddie, Dora, Cletus, Lewis, and Emerson.
FUN FACT: Did you know a fan created and sold Venom to Marvel for $220? He didn’t get much money, but he’ll forever be a footnote in the Marvel Universe. Or should I say paw-note?
Blade kicked vampire butt well before the MCU even got off the ground.
Maybe your kitty needs a cool cat name from a cool series: Blade, Deacon Frost, Whistler, Quinn, Nyssa, Scud, Nomak, Chupa, or Priest.
Netflix rebooted Daredevil, but he appeared in his own film in 2003 starring Ben Affleck, who recently jumped over to the DCEU as Batman.
It may not be the greatest superhero movie, but it provides names that might suit your kitty, including: Murdock, Elektra, Fisk, Bullseye, and Wesley.
Share With Fellow Cat-Loving Marvel Fans!
If your friends have taken home recent furry additions to their families, maybe they’re looking for an awesome hero or villain cat name. If they’re fans of the MCU, share this master list with them for inspiration.
I wouldn’t mind a parallel world where heroes like Black Panther keep dark overlords in check or where funny, sarcastic heroes like Deadpool, beat the living crud out of villains like Ajax and his crew.
Of course, I’ll settle for this universe where I can curl up with a good kitty and watch epic battles from the comfort and safety of my own couch!
