(Sometimes I like to call her the Red--or possibly Crimson--Wiccan.) It's hard for me to imagine fucking over a character any worse than he did to her. Something like 20 years of character development right down the toilet--he might as well have just put her in the refrigerator while he was at it. Although at least Byrne was consistent--he royally fucked the Vision over too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-54202782314400350902007-04-23T17:30:00.000-07:002007-04-23T17:30:00.000-07:00Oh, and btw, if I were 2 make a females only Aveng...Oh, and btw, if I were 2 make a females only Avengers team(fyi, for femme fatalism and sexiness alike, lol)I would have this lineup of ten...<BR/><BR/>Tigra(like you didn't see THAT coming, I'd have her back to her original character as opposed to how she was trashed in the 80's-90's era, i.e. smart and awesome and hard nosed)<BR/><BR/>Ms Marvel(ya, she'd be the leader, like in MA, and if she wasn't kicking ass and giving orders, she would be drinking away and making comments about how she can drink more than Iron Man ROFL)<BR/><BR/>She-Hulk(both as a backup & frontal attacker,and would be the one to take on the REALLY big boys plus the one to make wise cracks and be the voice of the team)<BR/><BR/>Photon(second in command and would be consistently mocking her foes and cutely teasing her friends while frying evil with heat in fly and on ground)<BR/><BR/>Wasp(Fun and cool, and she can be the one to fly through tight spaces and do sneak attacks)<BR/><BR/>Scarlet Witch(Will constantly do the impossible and help with the most dire situations and be a cool ass bitch)<BR/><BR/>Sersi(will use her magic along with Scarlet Witch and be very good at providing stunnings on foes)<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, that's my femme fatale team of Avengers, whaddya think?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727064900991915269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-20308931182073758592007-04-07T13:17:00.000-07:002007-04-07T13:17:00.000-07:00The Scourge of the Underworld, Baron Zemo & Chuck ...The Scourge of the Underworld, Baron Zemo & Chuck Norris, Radioactive Man, The Beast, Warbird, Karkas (for his amazing tard-strength) & being funded by Namor.Mister Sinisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690819839623776684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-30632522749818897122007-03-02T18:23:00.000-08:002007-03-02T18:23:00.000-08:00Here is my Avengers lineup...Tigra-Sexy as hell, b...Here is my Avengers lineup...<BR/><BR/>Tigra-Sexy as hell, baby, and my favorite for that reason and more. Too many reasons to list here, really.<BR/><BR/>She-Hulk-Like TIgra, sexy as hell, and she can punch better than Ivan Drago.<BR/><BR/>Iron Man-Gold and red awesomeness. He has a pretty neat voice through that armor, too.<BR/><BR/>Scarlet Witch-Sexy like She-Hulk and Tigra, and her red clothes and magic powers move me like crazy.<BR/><BR/>Captain America-Now, now, you didn't think I was gonna exclude the star spangler, didja? He's way cool, with or without the shield!<BR/><BR/>Hawkeye-Bring him back to life already. Unless it's already been done. This archer rocks like a huge avalanche off a mountain! Even if his powers are just his bow and arrows. <BR/><BR/>Wasp-While not NEARLY as sexy as the likes of Tigra, She-Hulk and Scarlet Witch, she's still not bad looking and pretty cool, though I'll never fully understand how she managed to take down Titania and Absorbing Man with only Ant Man's help.<BR/><BR/>Wonder Man-What a bulldozer! I've even got some of this guy's own series comics, he rocks so much. I'd like to see him kick some ass.<BR/><BR/>Photon-Awesome lady, that Monica. Great power and looks, and is so a badass. Nuff said on that, beeotch!<BR/><BR/>Thor-Bring him back, willya? He is a terrific god and I wouldn't mind seeing his hammer and lightning fly in the midst of battle for a lot of my lineup's time. <BR/><BR/>Ms. Marvel-My lineup begins and ends with ladies. I refuse to have her excluded from the Avengers, lets give this powerful blondie as clean as shot as she deserves!<BR/><BR/>Okay, you've seen my ideal lineup of Avengers, now allow me to show you guys some who I would NOT like in my lineup.<BR/><BR/>Spider-Man-He rocks...as long as he is doing his own thing. He was NEVER supposed to be a fucking Avenger. <BR/><BR/>Beast-He, too, rocks...as long as he is with the X-Men. Need I say more?<BR/><BR/>Rage-This guy sucks worse than an Oreck vaccuum cleaner. He looks like a buffoon, and he's incompetent and a very poor hero.<BR/><BR/>Triathalon-Even worse, as he is...I can't describe my contempt for this Quicksilver wannabe in words.<BR/><BR/>Dr. Druid-Dr Strange was disgraced by this guy, for his lameness and a knack he had for just taking up space and usually only winning by trickery, and cheap, at that.<BR/><BR/>Okay, I've put my picks down, let's see it happen, people!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727064900991915269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-70948895901371218252007-02-13T15:32:00.000-08:002007-02-13T15:32:00.000-08:00Jocasta.Cap.Panther.Iron Man.Wanda.Beast/Tigra/Hel...Jocasta.<BR/><BR/>Cap.<BR/><BR/>Panther.<BR/><BR/>Iron Man.<BR/><BR/>Wanda.<BR/><BR/>Beast/Tigra/Hellcat<BR/><BR/>Living Lightning<BR/><BR/>Nuff said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1134343791641243412005-12-11T15:29:00.000-08:002005-12-11T15:29:00.000-08:00BerwynIrish said...

Jarvis is essential. And it's always a good idea to have one new, awkward or novice character to serve as a POV... someone like Justice in Busiek's run or Spider-Man in the current cast. And the team should never really be stable for more than a year, or it just wouldn't be the Avengers.<BR/><BR/>I know pretty much everyone always puts Thor on their lineup, but I like Thor much more as an occasional guest star who would pop in periodically to smack somebody with a hammer and leave just as quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1134052033721802742005-12-08T06:27:00.000-08:002005-12-08T06:27:00.000-08:00Very entertaining blog you've got here.

I think I might be too late to the Avengers party, but here's my real life Avengers roster:<BR/><BR/>John McCain - tactical leader<BR/><BR/>Gena Davis - smarts and appearantly an accomplished archer<BR/><BR/>The Amazing Randi - he'd make short work of all the supernatural threats<BR/><BR/>Bruce Dickinson - fencing skills and all around coolness. Lemmy in reserve in case Bruce is otherwise occupied.<BR/><BR/>Hulk Hogan - 'cuz he's the Hulkster<BR/><BR/>Jacques Cousteau (pre-1997) - Inventor, activist, access to 3/4 of the Earth's surface<BR/><BR/>Beau Smith - to school all the newbies in the manly art of superheroics <BR/><BR/>Al Gore - government liaison <BR/><BR/>Some billionaire guy whose name I don't know - He had a short-lived reality show and seems pretty easy-going and fun-loving.

The glue that holds it together, whether he wants to or not. In the ashes of Bendis run on NA (which I'm liking, actually) he forms a new team under a tentative UN charter. <BR/><BR/>Black Panther- There because he's a king who's also a superhero, and there are few things cooler than that. Though he's had his issues with the Avengers, he believes in their mission when you get right down to it. he's part of the UN thing. <BR/><BR/>Spider-Man: Because he's Spider-Man, and despite his protestations to the contrary, he works well with others. He's the heavy hitter AND the Blue Beetle of the group.<BR/><BR/>Black Widow- what's the best place to hide? Out in the open, sometimes. After the chaos from the recent miniseries, Natasha rejoins the team as their ruthless Wolverine type figure- and the truth is, they're the only real family she has. <BR/><BR/>Luke Cage- because he's actually a pretty decent addition to the team, in addition to being a kickass dude. <BR/><BR/>Pulsar- Monica Rambeau, cutting ties with NextWave, rejoins the team as resident flying powerhouse. <BR/><BR/>Deadpool: The merc with a mouth winds up a captive of the U.S. government and forced on the team. Good? Bad? Nobody's sure, but things get a hell of a lot less boring when he's around. Plus, I'm the world's biggest Deadpool fan. <BR/><BR/>Reserve members: Captain America, intitially hesitant about the new team but returning eventually. Tigra, because she's a cop now and could add good investigative skills to the team, in addition to being a fun character. <BR/><BR/>UN Guy: Pete Wisdom, because I can't think of anything funnier than a Warren Ellis Mary Sue and Captain America on the same team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1133766960437021832005-12-04T23:16:00.000-08:002005-12-04T23:16:00.000-08:00Mine would be:Cap, Thor, Iron Man: I Can't add any...Mine would be:<BR/><BR/>Cap, Thor, Iron Man: I Can't add any other reason that hasn't been mentioned before<BR/><BR/>Spider-Man: I was against him joining the team at first, but after seeing him grow as a charater, I'm starting to like the Idea of Spidey on the Avengers. I'd keep him on the team.<BR/><BR/>She-Hulk: I Like Green<BR/><BR/>Taskmaster: he could easily be hired by Tony to the be "Samurai Warrior". Plus he's not Ronin.<BR/><BR/>Blink: the Alternate Reality, Teleporting Mutant from the X-Men/Exiles. Why?

The X-Men is about a school. The JLA is about a humanitarian relief organization. Grant Morrison once compared the Avengers to a football team and think that is apt. They train together. They are paid to work together. In other words, they are professionals.<BR/><BR/>Their objective is to rapidly respond to and neutralize super-human threats. Therefore, they need to be a small strike team that can do most military functions (i.e. recon, air strike, ranged attacks, infantry). That means a total membership of, say, 5-7.<BR/><BR/>That said, my team is as follows:<BR/>1. Captain America - the perfect field leader type.<BR/>2. Wasp - Can shrink and fly ahead of the team to do the recon. <BR/>3. Hawkeye - Can deliver a ranged attack ahead of the main assault.<BR/>4. Iron Man - Armor, duh.<BR/>5. Thor - Air power<BR/>6. Scarlet Witch - Can cover a retreat with her unpredictable powers.Dean H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17923782800713104454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1133615380305978682005-12-03T05:09:00.000-08:002005-12-03T05:09:00.000-08:00Real Doom Patrol! So awesome!What you need for a ...Real Doom Patrol! So awesome!<BR/><BR/>What you need for a good Avengers mix is a bunch of people who all talk about different things in different accents. Because that's what team books are all about: the talking. So Thor is in, not just because he's cool, but because he talks funny. And The Vision is in too, due to speaking in little yellow boxes. Cap always gives pep talks and says "mister" to people and stuff, so he's in. The Beast makes jokes. In. Hawkeye was a carny, and everything he says ends in an apostrophe. SO IN! Hank and Jan are constantly saying "Hank" and "Jan" every third freakin' word, which nobody else says, so they're in too. (But Giant-Man is a dumb name, it just is.) Iron Man can check the time and stuff from inside his armor, sometimes he has "sensors" and he's always babbling on about "repulsors"...well, I guess it all saves time, and it's technobabble, and anyway he owns the damn mansion, so he's in. Yes, the mansion...it has to be in that mansion, I don't like it when they're all just staying at a Ramada or something, that's stupid. You don't need to get rid of the mansion, Avengers writers! The mansion is not hurting anything!<BR/><BR/>...You know, it occurs to me that Iron Man could be a lot better of a character if someone just gave him a personality to show off once in a while. You know, other than "recovering alcoholic"? Just a thought...maybe he could really like sushi or something...almost anything would help...<BR/><BR/>Wanda and Pietro are always complaining about something or other, so they're in, why not? And so there you have all your power-balance stuff anyway, just by following the accents. You don't need Captain Photon or the pretty much used-up by now Wonder Man...much as I like that character, he's been ruined. No Quasar, his powers bug me. Maybe one more accent?<BR/><BR/>Batroc!<BR/><BR/>No. Umm...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1133592871473239992005-12-02T22:54:00.000-08:002005-12-02T22:54:00.000-08:00Oh and Quasar should be there whenever a space mis...Oh and Quasar should be there whenever a space mission is needed, Tigra can hang around the Avengers Mansion and hit on Tony Stark again and Spider-Man will never, ever be an Avenger again, as it <I>just doesn't work</I>!Martin Wissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612094541576041276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1133592444806124902005-12-02T22:47:00.000-08:002005-12-02T22:47:00.000-08:00Right, ultimte Avengers lineup, Martin stylee!Capt...Right, ultimte Avengers lineup, Martin stylee!<BR/><BR/>Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau, natch) as leader.
