Avengers pic

I PM'd it to you but put it here in case anyone else wants it.

 

Why is Firestar's skin green?

 

Thats not her skin, it is a body suit that Hank Pym made for her to absorb the excess microwave radiation that was killing her because of her powers.

 

The Blob got her. Don't touch her or it'll get you too.

 

That image right there is why the Avengers are badass and why I still believe that would put the whoopin' on the JLA.

 

Yes, one of the rare badass Thor showings in Busiek's run.

 

I remember getting goosebumps when I got to that panel.

 

It remains one of my fave Busiek moments, too.

 

It is THE Buisek moment of his Avengers run.

 

Nah, I think when Captain America beats Kang, that's the ultimate Busiek-Avengers moment. And for a Busiek-Perez one, I think the Hank-savagely-beats-Ultron tops this one too.

 

In my limited comic readings, I've noticed that Thor can be very badass when he has to be.

That panel is freakin' sweet! It definately shows Thor's badassedness.

I also like In the original Secret Wars when all the villians attack Thor at once, and he holds them all off...

 

Thor's got a lot of really badass moments sprinkled throughout his comics. Not as many in Avengers, where he's regularly shown lacking in power so the rest of the Avengers don't look useless. As far as his Avengers moments go, that Ultron Unlimited one definitely ranks as one of my favorites. Another fun moment, though not really a "badass" one, was very early on in Busiek's run, when the Avengers are wondering what happened to Thor, and then lightning flashes and Thor appears, all grizzled with a beard and worn out, at the window. He sets them off on their first conflict of the last pre-NA series, against Morgan La Fey.

 

Yeah, Thor is a bit lacking on the badass-on-my-own-moments in the Avengers (although the Ultron bit is definitely his most badass moment in the Busiek run, I still get goosebumps from it), but works better as a badass-foil to the others. Like when he held off the other Avengers so that Captain America could fight Kang. He's like the measurestick for badassity.

 

Jurgens' run is rife with badass Thor moments. The fight with Mangog and Thanos, the entire ending of "Spiral" where he strikes back against humans, the fight between King Thor, Iron Man, and Cap, etc.

wolverine should never be an avenger!!!

 

Yes, that red "X" really impresses the point upon me.

 

the great george perez!!!!and no wolverine

 

Flash would so own Quicksilver....

 

what are you on .....crack plus!!

 

huh?

 

I think he's implying that Flash, in fact, wouldn't own Quicksilver. So I think the real question is, what is he on?

 

I think my favorite Thor moment was in the 2nd issue of Dan Jurgens/John Romita Jr's when he SINGLE-HANDEDLY defeated the Asgardian Destroyer. That my friends is BAD ASS.
