What should be done with Hood's group is something Marvel editorial really doesn't do anymore; look at the details for fine tuned fixing.
Not ALL of the villains in "Hood's gang" are illogical to be there. The Wrecking Crew, for instance, have worked for anyone with matching socks in the past (or the promise of a few grand or so). Griffen at best was a street thug so him being there is fine. Madame Masque is, for some reason dating Hood so she is stuck there. There are also villains who are mercenaries, like Blackout. The problem are those villains who either lead teams or are not the type to follow the Hood. Those are the ones who need to go. As well as Constrictor, because he's with the Shadow Initiative, and has been for over a year. Shave off the types who would never be caught dead taking marching orders from a nobody like Hood and you scale down the gang considerably, to the point where some actual characterization may come through.
Next, they need to think smaller. Immediately thinking they could dogpile the Avengers was a bit high up, especially after one small robbery. They need to get organized on the smaller level and then build up. Smaller victories trying to snowball to bigger ones.
And Tigra needs to defeat and completely humiliate Hood to get her groove back.
None of this will happen, though. Basically what will be done is Bendis will figure out his next move, and the editors will go, "Good idea, Mr. Bendis, sir."
I swear Marvel's new idea sux. More than likely the new SS is going to be Brother Voodoo given his appearance in Ms. Marvel or Marvel can get even dirtier and let Baron Mordo become the new guy. Anyway, a way you can let the Hood become better is allow Dormammu to use him more.......let him come out and play since there are two guys living inside of him. Dormammu is a being that rules his own dimension....surely his avator should be more powerful.
