The New New Avengers

Character wise, Ben is always a great choice. From a team standpoint, don't him and Cage fulfill the same role?
 
Bendis doesnt create a team from powersets...he builds them based on personality of characters
 
I actually prefer that. Sometimes I see these dream teams that people put together, and wonder why they would ever want to see stories about them.
 
There's no way this is anything but a street level team. The power levels on this team are relatively the same, with Luke and Thing vying for team powerhouse.

This has peaked my interest in the New Avengers up, I've never read Ben outside of the FF dynamic.

The Thing's a tier above Luke in strength, isn't he?
 
Probably, but Luke's not a pushover in his own right. I mean neither are Spidey and Wolverine. The weakest is probably Jessica, but that's cause she's still relatively fresh to all this.
 
i always thought The Thing was slightly under the Hulk
 
Pics or it didn't happen. :oldrazz:

My laziness got the better of me. :o
 
didnt they retcon him with class 20 strength
 
Hes clearly talking about Luke Cage dude, settle down.

It wasn't clear to me seeing as the previous post was me talking about Wolverine.
 
no i am talking about Wolverine...i thought they gave him above human strength
 
Above human strength is one thing, but class 20 would be silly to me...but not surprising when it comes to Wolverine. Soon he'll be flying and shooting lasers from his mask tips.
 
no i seem to recall in one of the mindless threads on how Wolverine can beat everyone that he had strength greater than Spidey
 
Still not enough to warrant me buying it. Sorry Bendis.
 
Okay... and this has officially sold me on the New New Avengers. :up:
I thought you were buying it anyway. This is pretty much the Avengers comic engineered specifically for you, given that you never liked the classic Avengers.

He will then be appearing in co-starring in or makeing uneeded cameos in every marvel book, regardless of where or when it takes place, or who is in it..........oh wait..

He will also be on every team in every country in the Marvel U at the same time.....
 
Pretty sure it runs Thing at class 80, Cage at Class 30 (maybe 50, but depends on which retcon they're playing with), Spidey at Class 20 (used to be 10), and Wolverine at 800lbs ish (only really cos his body's adapted to carrying around 300lbs of adamantium)
 
Slott claimed the Thing was class 100 like the Hulk, Thor, Gladiator, et al. in his Thing series. Don't know if that took since that series wound up being an obscure footnote that was canceled after like 8 issues, though.

Haha, the 50-State Initiative = Wolverine. :hehe:
