Marvel UK returns
NOW this is what I have been waiting for. Marvel UK has some awesome characters.
I am intensely excited for the return of the Marvel UK characters. Anyone who knows me, well, knows I'm excited. KM was the only other person who even knew of Death's Head (I or II) when I introduced the forum to him years back. And similarly with Dark Angel, whom I'm using currently in the tourney. She was known, but not well. Great, great characters.

I know about those as well! My first introduction with these characters was with the big crossover Marvel had in the 90's. Forgot the name.

Top 10 (Out of the 50) Avengers:

This was my favorite part: "Though his tenure as an Avenger will perhaps amount to but a fraction of a percent in the Odinson’s long and storied life, that time ultimately amounts to far more than a mere footnote in his ongoing saga. A founding member of the group, the bold prince of Asgard came of age amongst the Vikings of ancient Midgard before realizing his heroic legacy in the modern day. The lust and fervor that first led Thor to Earth eventually matured to love and compassion for its people. As an Avenger, Thor inspires his comrades with nobility and humility in equal measure, lending his awesome strength in their every encounter, whether on Earth or far beyond the stars.
Thor’s mirth can’t be matched; his insight into warfare and the full spectrum of the cosmos, immeasurable. If not the greatest of Avengers, he surely ranks among the mightiest, and more than worthy of his high standing.”
