Supporting cast for the team of heroes includes Captain America (a mentor figure), Ms. Marvel (the resident S.H.I.E.L.D. rep) and a brand new teenage character created for the show called Reptil who will also debut in the comics Marvel Universe in an upcoming issue of "Avengers: The Initiative."

oh bother. why do they always do this crap?

[Treqqor]

Worked for Harley Quinn.

And Morph on the X-Men, I enjoyed him.

New characters sometimes work out, you never know.

Those are the exception. Though didn't Morph appear before AOA?

Morph was inspired by a very short-lived character named Changeling who worked for Factor Three and impersonated Professor X until he died.

At least there seems to be some degree of synergy happening here. In a lot of cases, the character doesn't get introduced into the comics until a few years later.

Personally, while I'm not against the practice itself, I do have doubts about their choices sometimes. For example, I don't really care for X-23. I would have rather seen Spyke somehow get brought in (I know there was a similar character named Spike in the X-Statix, but I'm not sure it's the same thing). I also would have liked to see Hypnotia from the old Iron Man cartoon or even Buff and Refrax from the failed Generation X TV pilot.

Also, the personalities of the characters aren't always up to snuff after they're converted in. The Firestar from New Warriors doesn't seem much like the one from Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends.

I wanted to Spyke to die on X-Men Evolution. Although to be fair, he got better as a Morlock.

Why did people dislike him again? I don't get it, because personally I liked Evan.

meh, angry token who didn't contribute anything worthwhile.

[Blade X]

As oppose to the angry female Wolverine token called X-23.

[Tracer Bullet]

Didn't care for her either.

[Kaos]

I liked Evan. Aside from the sisqo cut.

Evan didn't really seem all that angry except in his first appearance. Otherwise, he was just kind of a cocky show-off.

[Tracer Bullet]

He seemed like he always had a chip on his shoulder.

He seemed like he always had a chip on his shoulder.

I don't think so.

Let's see. Scott was the straight-arrow. Jean was the big sister. Kurt was the goofball. Kitty was the innocent rich girl. Evan was the hotshot. Rogue was the loner.

I don't remember any of them being the "angry one" except maybe Rogue at times.

Let's see you are more bother by them introduce a new character more than the teenage Ironman or the Playschool Marvel toon?

Worked for Harley Quinn.

And Morph on the X-Men, I enjoyed him.

New characters sometimes work out, you never know.

And Firestar and Jimmy Olsen (Who was made for the radio drama). Just look at all those Chloe fans.

I wanted to Spyke to die on X-Men Evolution. Although to be fair, he got better as a Morlock.

Again what bother you more was Spyke and not they were messing with the characters ages?

None of that really bothers me (well maybe the Playschool thing a little) Since I know that the target is Kids and not me.
