    Default Will the Mighty Avengers last?



    Sentry, Wonderman, Ms. Marvel, Ares, Black Widow, Ironman, and Wasp. Thats the lineup for the Mighty Avengers which you guys probably know. Well, do you guys think it will last? I mean, look at their line up again. We either have people like Black Widow who doesn't have any powers, Wasp without Giant Man, Ares to much is not known about him since he hasn't been in any ongoing to my memory, Wonderman is not popular, Ms. Marvel once casted as a feminist character, and Ironman who many people have come to hate since Civil War. Will this team last? Do you like the lineup?

    Personally I am gonna pick it up but I think they could of done a better job. Sentry I wouldn't mind if he came once in a while but it still kind of stupid he hand a stand-off with Galactus and is on the same team as Black Widow. Ironman being my favorite on the team and probably being the leader really spices things up for me so I am glad he is on it. I think Ares is actually a pretty sweet addition to the team. Wasp seems to be alright especially since she was on the original Avengers, and I am not feeling the rest.

    The book will last. This roster will probably change later down the road, like it happens to all teams.

    I think I'd actually have to read the damn book before I could make a decision such as this.

    This is the first time I have seen this image, mostly looks awesome but what a horrible picture of Wonderman....

    I like the lineup ok, only exception is I dont really know Ares very well and I am not a fan of Black Widow.

    I think they will last. It is a very good lineup sans the Sentry and Ares which are new additions. And Wonder Man not popular? Controvertial, yes but unpopular no? How many Avengers with no regular series have their own website and two unrelated Message Boards dedicated to them? You don't get more popular than that one, buddy. ;)

    I thought a comedian like the Beast would naturally gravitate to a classic straight man like Simon Williams, and vice versa. They’re also both bright and intellectual. I had fun playing them off against each other. David Michelinie did great stuff with them, things I would never think of. He’s amazing with that kind of character interplay. Sure, they could co-star in a series, if you had a Michelinie or his clone writing it.-Jim Shooter

    That particular Lineup wont last long at all. I cant imagine a team book with Ares on the lineup. He is the God of War for cryin out loud, he kills people for a living. I dont see him meshing to well with Sentry, Wonderman, or Wasp.


    Take him off the roster, and you got a decent avengers lineup.

    Sure, there's no reason to think it won't be a big success.

    They are too powerful imo unless maybe the focus on the "big" baddies and/or aliens ... lots of muscle on the team they did the same thing with original Avengers when they had Thor, Hulk and Iron Man on the same team (all relatively strong of course) -- you need a balance.

    I'd say...

    Iron Man
    Ms. Marvel
    Wasp
    Black Widow
    Wonder Man

    should stay but Sentry and Ares can be lost and as far as I'm concerned Sentry can go back to the moon and sulk and stay there...or maybe he can take on Gladiator and they can beat each other to death.

    As long as they position it as the classic Avengers title I think there's room for two ongoing Avengers books.

    What's wrong with Black Widow not having powers? Neither does Hawkeye, and he's a very popular Avenger. And what's wrong with Wasp without Giant Man? It's not like they're Conjoined Twins who have to be together in a title. They're seperate characters with seperate lives, and don't need the other to be a good character. Just like Rogue and Gambit. Nothing wrong with Ares, considering he's basically filling the 'Thor' roll for the moment. And I disagree with you on Wonder Man not being popular. The character is popular enough to keep coming back from the dead, and even has his own mini right now. And what's wrong with Ms. Marvel being a strong female character. That doesn't make her a femanist. And who says that's Tony Stark in the Iron Man armor? Add Beast and it's a perfect line-up. It's certainly better than New Avenger's line-up has been. :D

    The art and subject matter are of no interest to me . . .so, yeah, it'll probably last a while.
