Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Ares
Giant-Man
Wasp
Ms. Marvel
Black Widow
Wolverine
Quicksilver

maybe the Hulk, when he returns to earth.

I'm not sure so don't quote me on this, but this is what the team looks like for now.

That doesn't sound right.

No Hawkeye or Sentry?

And Wolverine? Please, no.

And no way the Hulk joins.

Simon says (lol) that he missed being an avenger. Missed = Past tense. Because he is an Avenger now.

Also on the first page in the narrative box it says "Avengers Initiative Day One"

A recent interview with Bendis in Wizard made it sound like the Mighty Avengers lineup would be something like what you've posted, but alot of the sketces and information in the interview were deliberatley meant to throw people off and create speculation about who'd be on the team.

I'm sure a few of the character you've mentioned will be appearing in the New Avengers book (like Cap, Thor maybe Logan). Quicksilver being on an Avengers team is just stupid. The guy's more of a villain right now and is appearing in X-Factor. I really don't see Hulk joining a team any time soon.

I think it's seems pretty obvious that the Mighty Avengers lineup will be Iron Man, Black Widow, Sentry, Ares, Ms. Marvel, Wasp and Wonder Man, with maybe a character or two yet to be revealed.

I hope Pietro gets his Speed Powers back with a little Upgrade
and joins later the Avengers. That would be cool.

I don't see how Black Widow and Wasp are out of place. The team needs those two to keep them grounded. I would have prefered to see another street leveler along the lines of Prowler (I know he's arrested but someone on his level)

Wasp was a founder... maybe they need her just to legally use the name..... plus she's excellent for stealth missions and she can also grow to the same hights as Giant Man (or whatever he's called these days)

Black Widow ... I'm not a big fan of hers.... but she does have a lot of know-how, Ex-Spy, expert in H2H combat, good with weapons/explosives/computers, good at manipulating people (mainly men) decent leader, willing to do whatever it takes to win

She's almost a female Batman character

I like the Black Widow but I wouldnt say that she is almost like Batman. I think Ares would be good for that kinda mission you explained. He is the god of war so he has to be an expert with every weapon created, hopefully. Except the computer part and im pretty sure he could find ways to make a man do whatever he wants and not in a sexy way either.

But he's not exactly built for covert ops .... to put it mildly

I agree but how many covert ops will they be getting into? We'll see once the book starts i guess.

Don't forget Iron Man, too (for the computer part). ✅

Exactly, IM is ridiculosly powerful now that he could crack any computer system effortlessly.

Some observations.....

Monsters - Definitely mole-mans , not only from the resemblance between F4's first issue . But you'll notice in one of the panels those 'minison' that the short little bugger orders around all the time.

Godzilla- In the eternal words of Superman Returns Luthor... WRONG. Godzilla will pretty much pwn all of them ...even sentry and his 'evil' twin.

Iron-man - I'm getting kinda ticked off of the constant upgrades for the guy. Although i like the idea of a new person (NOT Rhodes) in the driving seat.

Art- Very nice , smooth and bold with a good colourist

Overall - Looks pretty good , we will have to wait and see but so far it's getting a 8.7/10

Team sucks they took one of the worst 100 ton levelers (wonderman, strong yes but can he fight hell no), no Captain america or Thor and Ares (and they better have a good explanation for this) is somewhere in the background ridicules.

Thor is going to be an Avenger, the roster is not complete in my opinion.
Bendis did state that the Mighty Avengers is going to the most powerful in recent t years.

I still believe that the mighty avengers will consist of:

Captain America
Thor
Ares
Iron Man
Ms. Marvel
Giant-Man
Wasp
Wolverine
Black Widow

reserves or making appernaces
Nova
Photon=Pulsar
Sentry
Hawk eye

Cap. America and Iron Man on the same team? Are you high?

Nah , it's (apparently) a new guy inside the armour.

Q) Who the heck is Ares? I've been out of it for a little while (since Avengers V3 #20ish) and have caught up on most of the background stuff of late, but I have no idea who this guy is.

Ares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares_%28Marvel_Comics%29

He's the Olympian God of War. He recently had a fairly good and well recieved mini series. Now he's joining up with the Avengers.

They're only a mid tier team. With the exception of Sentry, a herald of Galactus could probably clean their clocks. If Thor is going to be on the New Avengers team, they'll probably end pretty even in power.

To be fair some people think the Surfer would clean the JLA's clocks. I've always thought Thor could probably single handidly take down every team he has been on, whithout jobbing. The same applies to Sentry (Except when Bendis whent and mayed Wanda and Uber Cosmic power).

Well those people are wrong.

When you consider the fact that Kyle, Hal or M.M. could probably do it, it doesn't seem that unreasonable.

The JLA loses a significant amount of power without Green Lantern and Manhunter. The JLA with those two is a totally different beast.
