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
I agree that characterisation is one of Marvels strengths, but its a strength that is yet to EVER be applied to their mightiest mortals. [/B][/QUOTE]

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.

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!

Got my interest. She was also my guess but I don't think they're gonna go that way. She had different brain patterns IIRC but from the solicits looks like we'll ave the same old Ultron but with breats
I'd like to see Black Widow pull off some nice stuff on this team. Otherwise I'm gonna feel like it's a bunch of heavy hitters, and she's the team sidekick.
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?
No Vote
Warbird
Low/Mid level metahuman female who sincerely I don't see as an Avenger.She worked good in the past, but with her issuess with being drunk and Kang's son, and then becaming a government agent, she's no Avenger anymore.

Sentry
I hope Thor comes back and kill him.The worst Superman rip off ever.
Wasp
Puts the team in a major low level ranking.She can't do anything except for talking and wear sexy costumes.
Black Widow
What's she's gonna do, use bullets on super powered beings?
Iron Man
He's acting like a paranoid and leading the wrong side of this war, after we saw him battling in the city of NY how many times?And he speaks about the risk of casualties, for god's sake.Try to be coerent Tony.
I always liked IM, and with Extremis armor he's badass, but he doesn't look like a hero anymore.
I hope Cap will assemble an AVG team worth of that name.I hope Don Blake finally show up as Thor, and I hope in a roster like this:
Captain America
Thor
Hercules
Luke Cage
Invisible Woman or someone else with long range and defensive abilities.
Vision
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.
