Heroic Age

[TheCorpulent1]

But the whole roster hasn't even been revealed yet. And I doubt that the B cover to Avengers #1 would just have Spider-Woman and Hawkeye.

I'm thinking that we'll be seeing one or two more members. I'd be very surprised not to see Ms. Marvel.

Mockingbird might be a likely candidate too.

 

[Shockdingo]

Truth be told, I still prefer him and Emma to him and Jean.

Yea, blasphemy...I know.

Blasphemy shcmasphemy; for years I liked Jean and Scott, but I rather like Emma change of things in the formula that makes up Scott.

I personally like and understand Scott's dark turn, and while I hope things do lighten for the Mutant Community during Second Coming, I don't want Scott to do a dramatic turn, I like the bit of edge he was given in Whedon's run. I want him well rounded; not too boyscouty (I actually don't mind "boy scout heroes" but don't want extremes) nor too grimdark.

 

[roach]

i feel he is too grimdark already

[Anubis]

Haha, Outrageous!

**** yeah Kang the Conqueror!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Well maybe Bendis finally is going to give the Avengers threats they deserve.

 

[bored]

No, there's just going to be a twist where Kang took a vacation to feudal Japan and decided to become a ninja.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Yeah, because Bendis writes so much about Ninjas

8 issues out of near 100 Avenger issues written and yet... it's considered a Bendis staple.

There's plenty to criticise Bendis about. Ninja's isn't one of them people... get new material.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Ronin is essentially a ninja. And has pretty much been a staple of Bendis's run.

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

He also constantly writes about white people. Big turnoff, guys

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well maybe Bendis finally is going to give the Avengers threats they deserve.

Last time he gave us a classic Avengers villain with a twist, it was Ultron with boobs. Just saying...

 

[JewishHobbit]

Ronin is essentially a ninja. And has pretty much been a staple of Bendis's run.

She was in 3 issues prior to Civil War (so 3 out of 26). And then joined them afterwards and was a minor character in the title. That's it. Hardly ninja filled. And Echo isn't the first ninja to join the Avengers.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Cap could be considered a ninja. An AMERICAN NINJA!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

The WHOLE disguise no matter who was wearing it is a ninja motif.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wow, we're really gonna keep arguing over the ratio of ninja action in Bendis' Avengers comics? Really? Can't we all just agree that they mostly sucked, regardless of whether ninjas were involved or not?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Last time he gave us a classic Avengers villain with a twist, it was Ultron with boobs. Just saying...

Haven't we already seen Kang with Boobs at some point? I feel like we have.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

There were probably some female versions in that Crosstime Council or whatever it was called. The organization of Kangs from throughout time and alternate dimensions.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Then Bendis should be more original then. Perhaps, it'll be a Kang that's transgendered. Or a Kang covered in a symbiote. Or Kang is the new Ronin.

 

[Shockdingo]

Maybe we'll get Kang with a female symbiote, feminine personality, desire to be a Pop sensation and it will be eventually revealed that he is a host of a future Reality TV show and the Marvel Universe's largest threats have been nothing more than stunts for Sweep week....errr...Century. t:








I hate myself for writing that.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Then Bendis should be more original then. Perhaps, it'll be a Kang that's transgendered. Or a Kang covered in a symbiote. Or Kang is the new Ronin.

Maybe Kang'll be really fat and need the Avengers' help to get into his armor. That'd definitely be innovative...

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Maybe Kang'll be really fat and need the Avengers' help to get into his armor. That'd definitely be innovative...

Spider-Man: Is that a donut stuck in your fat crevice?

 

[roach]

Maybe Kang will faint at the sight of Bendis badass...maybe Wolverine

 

[runawayboulder]

Kang becomes the new Ronin.

 

[bored]

Maybe he'll join the Hood's gang!
