Well... Kinda. It's still missing something IMO.
There's alot of empty space remaing in the image so it's possible a character or two were taken out so it's not spoiled.

But yeah. I'm very interested in seeing how Ares will fit on this team of government lapdogs (assuming they are still lapdogs when Civil War has ended). And Safari suit Wonder Man is back!

Wonder Man is getting his red jacket back? .... sweet!

I just want to see Ares get some props as the god of war and actually live up to it, seriously he should be so badass instead he ends up a tool.
This will be good.

I like how Black Widow of all people is holding the flag.
Sentry is on the team too.

Where did you get this cover!

Darth Vicious
Damn, i was lookign forward to Ares but now it looks that he is with Tony which kinda sucks. I dont like The Black Widow in Tony's team either. I notice that only Wasp is in the team, I wonder whats gonna happen to Giant Man. Hmmm theres a death in Civil War # 4.
Grimm22
That Ares costume is possibly one of the coolest things EVER!
I would prefer if there was another writer on this book seeing how Bendis does his best writing with new avengers characters like Spider-Woman, Luke Cage, Spider-Man, stuff like that

Like the team. Just to bad Bendis is on it.
I'll give it the 4 issue try I give all new series.

According to who ?
I just presumed that Sentry would join Caps team as Thor is a government agent.
Are there going to be two teams ?
That team lacks versatility. I mean, with the exception of Iron Man and the Black Widow, they're all just strong, flying guys.
Dream 'Big 7' (In recognition of the JLA) Team:
Sentry (Id say Thor but he doesn't go with Storm)
Hulk (Can work with Bob and can act as the Team version of wolverine)
Iron Man (Completes the Big Three that emulate ; Wonder Woman, Superman and Hal Jordan)
Invisible Woman (She's fallen out with Reed, and is probably Marvels second most recognisable female)
Storm (Not really doing anything with the X-men and easily Marvels most recognisable female Character)
Spider man (Provides humour and acts as Marvels symbol)
Captain America (Unlikely to be on a Team with Tony, but still acts as Marvels answer to Superman)

What the hell is the point of War bird and Wonder man with Sentry on same the Team ? It desperately needs a Metamorpho / Green Lantern / Flash / Iceman type character. Iron man is the only higher tier character who can do anything but throw hard punches. I thought War bird was changing sides as well ?

I don't like this cover, it looks like every character was drawn by a different artist/colourer team then slapped onto one page: Black Widow looks like an animated character, Iron Man looks like a noob drew him, Ms Marvel almost looks painted, Wonderman looks ok but just doesn't seem to fit in with the picture style (if there is any) and Ares looks like he should be in a darker scene .... Wasp is slightly out of focus as usual.
There is a bright light behind them but none of them are in shadow except for part of Iron Man.
Basically the artwork is shocking.... I hope this isn't the finalised cover work.

I dont necessarily agrre with this statement. Sure some aint class 100 heroes but they have proven themselves time and time again. One of the reason I aint a big fan of DC is that they make their characters way to powerful which unbelievable powerful or stupid villains (i.e Superman's Toyman). It makes the battles more interesting when they cant win with the flick of their finger.

I can't see how its so 'bad ass' .... The only characters there i like are Iron Man and the Black Widow. I'd love to know what is everyones fascination with Ares? .... IMO He basically a rubbish Aqua man. I.e. he's royalty with average strength and average durability, withoput a hook/magic hand
*Waits for the wrath of Olympian.*
SnakeEyes
The reason people are hyped up about Ares is because he just had a mini, which sort of revamped his character and got people (including me) interested in him again. Now, people want to see what happens with his character. They want to see where things go. I, for one, think Ares is pretty badass. I mean, he's the God of War... you'd have to TRY to not make that badass.

Ok... what the are you talking about ? When have you seen any comics where the fights have been as easy and mundane as superheroes flicking their fingers. IMO you have a very naive misconception about D.C. super teams. If you read any of the last volumes of JLA or JSA (Both teams with characters of a variety of powers and powerlevels) you'd be suprised at the quality of the written stories.

Ares mini>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Drax and the sentry Mini.
I was never that big a fan of the Marvel gods before reading the mini but after hearing so many people recommending it to me I decided to check it out. I'm glad I did.
and it's worth reading just to see Herc and Ares version of the fastball special.

The 1st couple issues of Ares were f***in amazing!
It kind of died down a little after that, but it was still good

Disappear
in an interview with a large number of the minds behind civil war, bendis started tossing around some strange ideas about what might happen post-CW. including suggesting that stark and cap might be changing roles, as each of them personifies a certain aspect of america. "who's to say it's even tony wearing the armor, or steve wearing the suit?" i believe that was the quote.
so don't get your minds to racing too hard, because you could all be looking in the wrong directions.

My point is that u dont have to have class 100 characters to have a good storyline. JLA has too many powerhouses, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Superman, Martian Manhunter, characters that hardly have any weakneses. The most recent incarnation of the JLA is the more diversified since it has a couple of heroes that aint level 100. The DC teams i like the most are Birds of Prey and Teen Titans, teams that dont necesarily are the most powerful. DC overpower its characters, Marvel characters are more believable.

But you'll very rarely find them sorting out problems with their fists, so i think you'll find, youre still 'chasing shadows' with youre point. Infact I think youre arguement is far more appropriate when applied to the LAST volume of the Avengers. If u read most of the stories created by Brusiek they often followed certain a formula involing 'miraculous' escapes, generally followed by a serries of unorginal punch ups. Infact power creativity has never really been associated with the Avengers. On the other hand, Morrisson and Waid showed they where masters of it, during their respective JLA runs.

The JLA IMO, has always been the last resort team that deals with the Uber problems that the other teams can't handle. Infact i think Metzler put it brillaintly, when he considred why a character; who could move planets and can travel at near light velocities would need team mates ? He concluded that the JLA is all bout threats and problems that the Gods cannot 'tackle'. Which is why you need the uber characters on the team and wide diversity in 'fire power'. For example, Aquaman is not on the team becasue of his strength and durability, but because of his other abilities and resources. The same applies to the M.M and G.L.
I dont have problem with the general 'weakness' of this Avengers team, infact i think its considerably stronger than the last one. But it does lack adaptability espcially in the useage of powers. I think Bendis has dug himself a hole, as i think many of the fights/battles are going to descend into nothing more than Baroom brawls.

That is quite cool .... Although i think he could do with a KANG/Forge power. I.e. Kang can pull any appropriate weapon/shielding from any point in time, and Forge's mutant powers is to create any weapon he can think of. It could be some sort of quantum probability power, where he literally alters probability (Maybe with his godlike magic) to provide himself with the weapon he needs. What does everyone think ?

The problem is most of their high powered characters really suck in the personality department. I mean D.C. has spent the last 30 - 40 years focusing mainly on developing its Big 7 characters. I'm not saying they are best characterisations around, because the certainly aren't. But they are superior, character wise to what Marvel considers its 'Mightiest Mortals'. There are of course exception, for example I love Iron man and I've always preferred Vision to Jonn Jonnzz, but Marvels other characters really are 1 Dimensional. That must be a problem when writers are trying to create internal team tension.

Nighthawk is badass in Supreme power.

I don't have much experience with Defenders. All I've read are the recent Giffen mini and The Order mini.

Iron Man
Hulk
Storm
Suzanne Richards
Captain Ammerica
Spiderman.
First, Storm should never be in Avengers. She is an x-man.
Second, Hulk?!? Hulk is in no way a team player
Last, Sue needs to be in the FF. Along with Reed. Its just not the FF without them

If u read most of the stories created by Brusiek they often followed certain a formula involing 'miraculous' escapes, generally followed by a serries of unorginal punch ups. Infact power creativity has never really been associated with the Avengers. On the other hand, Morrisson and Waid showed they where masters of it, during their respective JLA runs.
My point was that The Avengers or any other team needs class 100 characters to be interesting and according to you the team was lacking because it didnt have a Metamorpho / Green Lantern / Flash / Iceman type character.

Its Ironic they are the ones who usaully state that characters like Thor, Hulk, Wonderman, Hercules Silver surfer e.t.c. could easilly beat D.C. higher teir characters, in the vrs forum.
Nuclear Blast??? Do u meant Gamma? If u r referring to the Hulk, I never even mentioned him or was reffering to him when I said more Marvel characters are believeable. Now is my turn to call u NAIVE. In this day and age, were all kinds of scientific and technological advantages are made every day is it so hard to believe that a person could gain some extraordinare abilities (I dont mean exactly like Spidey) by being bitten by a "radioactive" spider, a spider that has been scientifically manipulated, experimented on? Im not even gonna get into the "cosmic rays" because nobody knows the effects any spacial rays,"cosmic" or otherwise on a human being. I guess is more plausible to believe that theres a Green Lantern Corps or Nova Corps for that matter somewhere in deep space or that theres a race of "Hawk" people in space as well among other things.

I dont believe I have ever bothered with versus forums/threads. If I do happen to get involve in the future I would look at both characters equally and give my opinion, just because is a MArvel character they would win automatically in my book but it seems that in your book all DC are unbeatable. I read Marvel because I honestly believe that Marvel has the best artists and the most interesting stories. i admit that as a couple of years ago when DC started using good artists(Ironically most of them perfected their craft at Marvel) and having really interesting stories that I started getting into their stuff. Im not saying that anything before that was bad but it was rare that they came out with something really good.I think that Batman:Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Batman:Hush, Identity Crisis have been very interesting storylines.

The problem is most of their high powered characters really suck in the personality department. I mean D.C. has spent the last 30 - 40 years focusing mainly on developing its Big 7 characters. I'm not saying they are best characterisations around, because the certainly aren't. But they are superior, character wise to what Marvel considers its 'Mightiest Mortals'. There are of course exception, for example I love Iron man and I've always preferred Vision to Jonn Jonnzz, but Marvels other characters really are 1 Dimensional. That must be a problem when writers are trying to create internal team tension.
K, I've just read through your anti-Marvel sentients in peace but this last point just really made it hard not to say anything. Most of Marvel's characters are way more interesting than DC's. For the longest time DC was about power. The more powerful the better. I'll admit in recent times they have become a lot more character driven, which is why I've started regularly reading some DC titles now, but there are still many DC characters that remain one-dimensional. Marvel on the other hand has many heavy hitters that are very deep. Iron Man and Carol's drinking was very interesting. Genis's insecurity and his inability to live up to his father's legacy is another interesting plot point, Wonderman's constant rise and falls, Vision's jealously of having another's brain patterns thus not being his own person etc. There are alot of heavy hitters in Marvel who are developed. You may not like them but it doesn't mean they exist. On the other hand DC has some ridiculously high powered heroes who are driven by powers than anything else. Morrison's JLA was good but it proves what I'm saying. There were good character moments but then there are feats like Aquaman giving people siezures? Powers were amped for convenience of story and while the plots where good and at times where character driven many times all we see are feats of strength and power from the heroes.
As a rule of thumb I say DC heroes are defined by their powers and Marvel heroes are defined by their personalities

Don't take this the wrong way, but you are referring to characters that are SO unpopular that can't even maintain an ongoing title. I've read a lot of the last Gennis run, and the writing is nothing short of shocking. Take a really bad Superman/Green Lantern issue and then let Chris Claremont **** it up a little, and you still don't come close to the atrocity that was the last Captain Marvel series. Joe Queseda has stated that he cant stand the character, and is very glad to see him dead. To compare that 'tripe' to the Morison's run on the JLA really illustrate what mediocre taste you have. IMO its as bad as stating that XXX is a better movie than the Godfather. The only thing ever interesting about Wonder man was his relationship with Wanda. That whole lack of confidence thing, was a real insight into how hard marvel writers have found it to inject any substance into the Avengers personalities. Your points about Iron man and Vision are mute, as i had previously mentioned them in my original post. IMO its evident that you have yet to read my post in its entirety, as you have generally missed the point . The fact that you have interpreted as a direct attack of Marvel Comics, clearly demonstrtaes you're desperation to defend the company, on the basis of ignorance and naievity.

Sorry mate but i think you should do some research b4 stating the above .... Radioactive Spiders do not transfer DNA through Venom. The only thing Peter Parker should of got from the bite was a case of Spider Venom followed by a headache and maybe the shits.
Nuclear Blasts do not create 500 lb Green Monsters, you're more likely to be mutated by a Stick of Dynamite , i.e. at least you would have less a chance of being incinerated.
Cosmic Rays, do nothing except give Astronauts Cancer. Cosmic rays are basically Ions (Charged particles), fired out from the sun at high velocities. One is more likely to gain Superpowers from a high powered Light bulb.
On the question of whether there is a Green Lantern Corp Out there ?, I would say probably no, but it is possible. In Warren Ellis Planetary, the Guardians are no longer little Green Men, but components of a Super Computer, with access to reality warping machinery controlled by the mind. Is such equipment possible ?, at the moment most scientist would tell you no. But as stated by Arthur C. Clarke, technology used by beings that are 1000's, millions or maybe Billions of times smarter than current Civilisations will be so advanced, they will seem almost magical. With the new discoveries being made in Quantum mechanics, M theory and brake throughs made in nano tech, whose to say what there isn't a Lantern Corp with technology of 'Gods'. As stated by Arthur C. Clark, 'What isn't impossible will some day happen'.

Somehowhow none of Marvels origins or the very leats the ones mentioned are plausible at the very least but somehow a Green Lantern Corps is very possible but I guess none of ur theory about Quantum mechanics, M theory and brake throughs made in nano tech and technology of the gods apply to a possible alteration in human dna granting said subject to "magical" powers. I guess they dont apply to any Marvel character perhaps because in your view they are not as cool as DC characters whih is basically the bottom line, you like/love DC comics and nothing no one says will make sense to you. By the way get ur facts straight, Bruce Banner wasnt caught in a "Nuclear blast", it was a freaking "GAMMA BOMB" but then again I dont think u ever bothered to pick a Marvel book.

Missed my point completely ..... Of course those advances in science could be used to explain the Marvel origins, yet they sytill maintain the old inaccurate ones. Stan Lee, has always explained Super powers by accidental circumstances, something that is intrinsically flawed . Entropy (a fundamental law of the universe) causes things to deteriorate from a state of oder to chaos. Stan Lee's origins on the other hand, use the concept of Entropy to cause Order. Something that by definition is impossible.
D.C. on the other hand has always been better at providing less chaotic explanations for Super Powers. In most cases the Super Powers are provided by higher more advanced Entities, whether it is the genetic engineering of a civilisation millions of years more advanced, the energy of the God wave, or the technology of a society nearly as old as the cosmos itself. But as you have stated, the plausibility of such factors is questionable. The difference is, they AREN"T IMPOSSIBLE.
Anyway it was you who made the original point that Marvel where more realistic. IMO they are both as unrealistic as each other. If you want a more realistic Super hero comic, I suggest you pick up Supreme Power or even Planetary.

Ok was that really necessary ?, I read as many Marvel books as D.C. books. I really couldn't give a shit about the perpetual rivalry that exist on this, and many other Forums.

Popular isn't always in direct proportion to characterization. Look at Superman and Batman a few years ago. And I wasn't speaking in terms of solo series, I meant in respect to team books. Look at Wonderwoman. She's pretty popular and yet the only reason they don't cancel her book is because she's part of their trinity or whatver. I don't think I ever said Morrison's run was bad, I only used it to point out a time when powers drove a lot of the stories. No, that lack of confidence showed Marvel actually wanted something to drive the character instead of having him lift the sun or something. I did read your entire post, didn't construe it as an attack per se, just passive aggressive way of putting them down. I only jumped in cause you obviously are basing all of your facts on your own opinion

Since u seem to be the outmost authorithy in Gamma Bombs, radioactive Spiders and Interstellar poice corps it is pointless to keep arguing with someone of ur superior intellect. You could have read ever single book Marvel has ever published but the bottom line is u r bias, not only in this thread but some other ones were u keep pointing out how DC is better than Marvel and no matter who says anything in favor of Marvel u'll always find and excuse, theory or whatever to justify said explanation.

*Eats Sour Grapes*
I disagree, I just believe that the JLA has always been FAR better than the Avengers (I.e. the Marvel equivalent) When it comes to street level and Teen titles i think Marvel are superior. The astonishing X-men and the Ultimates have been the best team books for the last 2-3 years. I've also miles preferred the Runaways and the Young Avengers to the Teen Titans. The point is you have taken this completely out of context. My criticisms where aimed at the Avengers, instead of Marvel in general. Youre inability to see this illustartes youre burning juvenile passion for Marvel, that is clearly clouding youre judgement.

Go F**K urself! I like Marvel because ever since I started collecting they have had more enterntaining and superior material than DC until a few years ago that DC finally started delivering good storylines, they started using high quiality artists. DC's biggest event this year, Infinite Crisis was a recycled storylined from 21 yrs ago which didnt live to expectations. The only one here with a juvenile passion for DC character is YOU. Perhaps your real passion is Superman the Man of Steel for more reasons than one!

This is gonna be another low/mid level team.
Ares
He got class 70 strength and super/metahuman level durability, plus superhuman reflexes, speed and agility.He can fly wields weaponry like axes, swords or spears, and he's a master marksman with all of them as well as in hand to hand combat.His weapons are also forged by Vulcano so he maybe using some magic attack, maybe.
Vote:
8/10 Thank to the costume, and considering his attitude.We may saw him as a key character considering he got the vast experience and skills and is a ruthless combatant, but onestly, if the team goes against major level villains, which hasn't happened from a long while, he's not versatile as Thor to deal with some team wreckers.But considering Nefaria is the only survivor of the Avengers team wreckers, cause Graviton, Ultron and others are out of the game, he'll be just a punch and slice guy.I hope no, cause he's a good and underused char.
Wonder Man
...No Comment.That costume sucks.His ionic form seem to have been forgotten, this man is a powerhouse who gets used as a gap filler in the recent Avengers formation.He fought Thor himself in a fist fight, his durability is great, he can fly, project ionic energies but no, he now got a pathetic costume used in what, the 70s?The 80s?

Speaking about realistic comic origins, both Marvel and DC are realistic.Considering how big is the Universe who knows what kind of beings may exist somewhere.Radiations can kill or cause mutantion, in comics cause ordinary humans to mutant to change.Mutants are next step in human evolution.They are realistic to me.Thor is a god, and one of the few who deals with humanity while the other pantheons stepped back when they felt the man no more needed to look up in the sky when in need of help.Who can tell you there aren't gods or pantheons?
It's just a matter of believing or not to the fact that what was impossible 30 years ago now is a reality.
