Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted January 27, 2004 To those who love THE AVENGERS what's your favorite line up of the comic? I'd have to say it was the Goliath/Black Panther/Hawkeye/Wasp quartet that also teamed with Thor, Iron Man, and Cap on occaision even though they were all on leaves of absence. This would be BEFORE Goliath became Yellowjacket, Hawkeye became Goliath II, the title went to hell, and Black Knight koined (which was cool.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2004 My favorite lineup was the pre-Onslaught group: Black Widow, Captain America, Crystal, Giant-Man, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Thor, Vision, and Wasp. To bad they messed it up with the Liefeld version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Betty Houle 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2004 Chairman Iron Man followed by the Vision Captain America the Scarlet Witch The Beast (allright!) the Wasp and lastly, the Falcon (the what?!) with appearences from Hawkeye, Wonderman, Ms.Marvel, and Quicksilver.

pochorenella 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2004 The Kurt Busiek/George Perez Avengers lineup was awesome. As long as the Cap/Iron Man/Thor trinity is maintained then it's OK with me. Add Hawkeye, Wasp, Vision, Wonder Man and then it's perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2004 One of their earlier lineups from around #100 of the original series had: Captain America Hawkeye Iron Man Thor Vision Scarlet Witch Quicksilver Seven's a good number of members, and all of them (well, maybe all of them but Quicksilver) have important ties to the history of the Avengers. Another very recent lineup had: Captain America Iron Man Thor Vision Wasp Hawkeye Scarlet Witch Ant-Man I think both of those are probably deserve recognition of being considered...though, in reality, there's been far more absolute crap lineups of the Avengers than good.

NOOOOOO, no, no, no Tigra or Mockingbird for me. WCA didn't have Thor or Cap, did they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 Hawkeye, Wonder Man, Iron Man, Tigra, Mockingbird was the WCA? And I think the Iron Man was the black guy not Tony Stark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 WCA was always Thor and Cap-less, although they did have USAgent. Tony Stark was also a member of WCA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 WCA was always Thor and Cap-less, although they did have USAgent. Tony Stark was also a member of WCA. And, ironically, Tony Stark would be the deciding vote when the Avengers voted to disband the West Coast half of the team. (The idea to cancel the West Coast branch could probably constitute a thread in itself.) Stark would go on with many of the West Coast outcasts and form Force Works (a.k.a. the Avengers done X-Men style!), which had a pretty good core lineup in its own right: Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, Wonder Man, Spider Woman, USAgent BTW, here's a picture of the Busiek/Perez-era (I believe) Avengers squad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 The girl with the lightning bolt is Ms. Marvel, IIRC. The girl in the fire suit is Firestar and the guy jumping in the background is Justice, or Vance Astro - they're both the "reservists" that were recruited from the New Warriors.

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 She was running with the Starjammers for a while under the name Binary (when she had unbelievable energy projection powers after the Brood accidentally tapped into her Kree enhanced genes). Since the Starjammers are/were allied witht he Shi'ar empire, they wound up being brought into the Shi'ar/Kree was, as well as the Avengers. She had her ass kicked and was beaten really badly and left on earth to recover. When she recovered, her powerse were severely lessened (lower than when she was Binary, but around the same level as Ms. Marvel with stuper strength, flight, etc. but with some energy blasts). Basically this lack in power caused her to get extremely depressed, eventually becoming an alcoholic, and getting kicked out of the Avengers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 Damn and I thought Rouge of the X-Men somehow killed Ms. Marvel when she took her powers. Was'nt there a black female character that used the name Capt. Mar-vel or something similiar? I think she was a member when Black Knight was there in the late 80's - Early 90's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thuganomics 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 A bit old school but I like the team in the early days when it consisted of Cap, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Giant-Man & Wasp. That was a good solid team. Second votes would go to the West Coast Avengers team of Vision, Scarlet Witch, Mockingbird, Hawkeye, Wonder Man, Tigra and Moon Knight.
