not necessarily as a member of the team, but also as key players in future stories?

To me:

Thundra-She is just so ripe for a good storyline involving her and maybe the old Femizon concepts (cheesy? possibly, but written well, potentially good stuff)

The Gargoyle -my favorite Defender ever!

Shang-Chi...I would love to see him romance Jessica Drew.

Liutenant Bree Morrell (from the old Spider-Woman series)

Darkstar

The Femme Fatales

Nightcrawler
03-26-2005, 07:21 PM
Shang-Chi was always cool.

Another vote here for Shang-Chi.

the Dan Ketch Ghost Rhider

and Id like to see Hulk make sporadic appearances, if you ever read the Sentri mini you would know "Golden Man is Hulks best amigo"

In order:

Ms Marvel/Warbird
I think Carol will eventually land on the new team, but even so I have to list her at number one. Its not like there is an abundance of interesting heroines in the MU, give the girl a roster spot!

Nova
I cant believe this guy has never joined the team, even though he has appeared in the book before. Cool powers, cool costume, plenty of experience with teams, a natural selection.

Moon Knight
I know most feel he isnt a team player, but with a likely series coming up soon, it might be the right time for MK to join the Avengers again. Dig the costume too.

I was having a drunken conversation last night actually, and was saying to a friend that with all this reality tv dross plastered on every channel in the world, it might actually be cool to bring back Arcade as a badguy and have them all trapped in one of his Murderworlds, forced into this life or death show. Could poke some fun at lowest-common-denominator television and have a decent twist on an old badguy I always kinda liked.

The Sphinx. He's too good a villain to be trapped in an endless time loop.

Can underused mean poorly used? If so, I'm going to cast a vote for Deadpool. Other than that, I'll agree with the others who have voted for Nova and Moon Knight.

03-27-2005, 10:23 AM
Shang-Chi or
Iron Fist or

I don't read New Avengers (at least not in monthlies; I may get the first trade), but I'd like to see what Bendis could do with Nova, too. Although having he and Spider-Man on the team would be kind of redundant, personality wise, unless they changed him around a bit. To get even more obscure, I'd like to see Silver Sable and the Wild Pack use their connections to Spidey to get a shot at the big time. Because the last time I saw Silver Sable was in the MTV Spidey cartoon.

Carol Danvers. Definitely.

Now this might seem way out there but I'd like to see Doom back in a staring role.

Can you imagine the possible storylines with him actually ON the team!?! :evilsmile

Sweet Baby Blue
03-28-2005, 04:59 PM
I'd love to see:

Dazzler
Black Widow
Warbird
Hawkeye (d'uh)
Hulk
Black Panther

In that order

Taskmaster......I love that character and think he should be to Marvel what Deathstroke is to DC, an ultimate bad-ass.

And I wouldn't mind Moon knight, Iron fist, Hellstorm or Stingray joining the team.

How are Luke Cage, the Sentry, and Spiderwoman blockbusters? They haven't been used in anything until Bendis got a hold of them.

Warbird

Darkhawk (he always works great with Spidey)

Swordsman and Magdalene (they're a pair til the end)

Living Lightning

Quasar

These are all great characters and I think fit the New Avengers model and Bendis' writing style.

i know it doesn't mean much of anything, but didn't Thundra and Arkon and that planet die? was that in avengers/jla?

Tobias March

Y'know I would like to see ANY of the Crew make an appearance. That or a new Wakandan rep now that T'Challa is taking more time to run affairs of state.

But what with all the movie tie-in characters what might be nice is a Bendis reworking of Werewolf By Night. I was surprised when this title got bought up by a studio, but hey, Mr. Arad can sell any old piece of rubbish :D

The CSA survived. There's no reason why they couldn't have too.

I actually like the idea of Quick Silver on the team. I think he is a dynamic that they have been missing for along time. I think it would be interesting to see him square off with Wolverine and also he would have an odd connection with Wundergor with Spider woman.

Done. Check out Ultimate X-Men for this exact scenario.

As for who I would like to see in the book:

Jarvis - I mean, the man's got to work.

SlightlyMad

The Shroud
Actually, I think it would be cool if he headed up a "black ops" force like JL: Elite, with "darker" heroes (Blade, Moon Knight etc).

Another vote for Quicksilver

If they bring back Quicksilver they should expand upon his powers slightly to differentiate him from every 'other', speedster. Much like their expanding upon Wanda's abilities.

That and give him a black uniform :)

I want to see Venom in a hero role again. Is the symbiote still with Brock?

darkerthanscarlet
04-01-2005, 07:22 AM
Monica Rambeau/Captain Marvel/Photon - they are supposed to be Earth's Mightiest Heros - she can change to most any energy form, fly and add's another strong female to the roster. Maybe with an updated look (I've heard she'll be in Black Panther soon?)

Iron Fist is a great idea.

Black Knight - science + scorcery mix.

Venom ? Even the thunderbolts wont want such a psycho . Besides no he aint with Brock anymore , Brock died not so long ago , and Mac Gargan , the former scorpion got the symbiote .

The Fury

Read 'Runaways', unless you already are, so good choice.

He is, well, that's pretty sucky. What's with Marvel and their deathathong lately?


Just out of interest, do poeple really see Quicksilver and Warbird as underused? Becuase I don't. Especially Warbird lately.

Warbird
Hawkeye'

BK I would definitelly call underused, Warbird is seeing plenty of action in Thunderbolts and
the upcoming House Of M, Clint is supposed to be underused, he is dead...

Neolucifer

Well i aint mad about that him . Brock lived long enough , and there hasnt been a single good venom story with him for years . His change to a "lethal protector" made him a bit difficult to write and a bit too "punisher 2" anyway .

I personally welcome the change for Gargan , should he really become an evil worthy of the symbiote .

I agree about Warbird. She's shown up a lot if TBolts, and has been used a fair amount lately since she's Jessica Jones fave gal pal.

But when was the last time we saw Quicksilver? He had a brielf cameo in the Avegers finale, but that's about it. I suppose they could easily throw him in Excalibur though.

Tobias March
04-01-2005, 09:52 AM
How about having Cloak going solo and joining?

Or someone really obscure like Sleepwalker?

Yes clint is dead, it was a joke.. *sigh* never mind the fact that the only way we really now he is dead, is because we are told in an bloody interview, cause if you just read the book, he is MIA. :rolleyes:

Wonder Man. Bendis could make light of his time in limbo and questionable history and make him cool again, if he wanted.

Neolucifer

I wouldnt call underused anyone we regularly saw during avengers v3 , like simon and carol . Espcially when they'll be shown again in House of M soon .

I can see bendis writing a scene where Peter walks in on Aunt May and Jarvis doin the nasty. yep, that reeks of Bendis humor.

It is like a scene from rocky Horror Picture show.

Panel 1: Peter opens the door

Panel 2: silhouette of peter in the doorway. two bodies tangled in the sheets in the foreground.

Peter: Oh, um sorry. Didn't mean to

Panel 3: A shocked aunt may screams and pulls the covers up to cover her body.

May; Peter!

Panel 4: Close up of a sick/shocked Peter.

Peter: Aunt May?

Panel 5: Jarvis pokes his head out from under the sheets.

Jarvis: Master Peter?

Panel 6: Close up of Peter

Peter: Jarvis?

Black Widow's always great with the Avengers and I'd really like to see an unused character like Thundra show up in the MU again. Other than those two, Nova's name has been tossed around and I'd like to see him with the Avengers for a while. Perhaps Silver Sable and Namorita as well.

Darth Mufassssa
04-07-2005, 10:58 PM
Never been Avengers beofre I would love to see:

Nova- great powers and it is about time for him to join the big leagues

Cannonball-See above...anyone who can take on the Gladiator (Shiar) and win needs to be an avenger. Plus he is so underused in the X-books plus there are two other Gurthies running around Xavier's

Doc Smason- as a supporting character or consultant

Valkryie-

and Iron Fist

Previous Avengers or associates I'd like to see:

MoonKnight or the Shroud: Both kewl mystery figures

Ms. Marvel- Carol Danvers

Photon-

Hercules

Justice and Firestar

I'm not a big fan of the X, but I think Cable or Iceman would be awesome members. The X folks have ruined them anyway.
