Exclusive: Avengers VS X-Men: Round 1 Teaser [Update]

The pairing ups continue and this time it's going to more than just Clobberin' Time.

We'be been seeing a lot of match ups for the upcoming AVENGERS VS X-MEN event beginning in April. Marvel has been release several teasers showing us the potential fights we will be seeing. The first batch of teasers we saw had Magneto vs. Iron Man and Psylocke vs. Black Widow. The next day we had Spider-Man vs. Iceman and Storm vs. Thor. Yesterday we saw Hulk vs. Emma Frost, Luke Cage vs. Beast as well as Ms. Marvel vs. Rogue.

Today Marvel has given us an exclusive look at one of today's teasers drawn by Dale Keown.

No Caption Provided

Colossus Vs. Thing. Benjamin J. Grimm is used to going toe to toe with the likes of Hulk but Colossus now possesses the power of the Juggernaut since becoming the avatar of Cyttorak. In other words, he's doing a lot more smashing these days. Hopefully Ben will be prepared and won't assume this is the regular old Colossus he's seen before.

== TEASER ==

Who would win this match up?

The biggest superhero brawl in the history of the Marvel Universe begins this April in Avengers Vs. X-Men #1!

Cover by JIM CHEUNG
FOC – 2/27/12, ON SALE – 4/3/12

There will be some more teasers released later today. Stay tuned.

Update

Marvel has released more teasers for today.

No Caption Provided

Daredevil vs. Archangel? I'm a little confused. I thought Archangel was "gone" and now we just have Angel. Well, it should be interesting if this actually happens.

The other teaser released today features Spider-Woman vs. Gambit.

No Caption Provided

With the way these too can charm the pants off the opposite sex, what do you think are the chances they actually fight each other?

Chances are we'll be seeing more match ups tomorrow.

To find out about Warren, you guys need to read Uncanny X-Force #19 and this week's Wolverine and the X-Men #4.

THATS IT! I'm out. I'm openly protesting this event now that they included Archangel as back. Marvel, let be straight with you for second. You don't always have to keep the status quo. It's more interesting if you don't. I know the argument is it's better for new readers but if you really cared about it being for new readers you wouldn't have half of the story arcs you have already. Please Marvel just let new developments stay for 1-2 years before backtracking to same old, same old. Archangel can stay amnesiac, Thor can stay dead, Storm can stay on the Avengers. These events happened for a reason and there is no reason to go back on them less than a year later.

Well that's my rant.

@cobra88king8: These are just teasers/posters. I mean, remember back in Civil War when people like Wolverine and the Thing were on a lot of covers and ended up hardly being in the book. Perhaps some artist made this a long time ago. Or perhaps the timeline is all funky. I do agree with you though. It would be nice for things to actually stay changed for a longer than a year or two. Oh well.

G-Man, Thing and Hulk USED to go toe to toe before you were born, kid. These days, he'd get killed by Hulk and Colossus. Colossus doesn't even need the upgrade to win.

I love Archangel and it was awesome to see him turning into a new Apocalypse, but THIS IS OVER ! Please, Marvel, i (nearly) never complain, but going back with Archangel only weeks after he developped a new persona really sucks ! X-Force is the best X series and you're already bruising it... Shame on you ! and shame on this sh**ty crossover !!!

Yeah I remember those days (or technically the time in comics where that was the case, which was before I could remember anything, or at the very least, read I think).

So this is not just an X-Men thing? It also involves X-Force and Jean Grey School Faculty... Curiouser and curiouser.

is there like a tournament style bracket or what? cause round 1 & 2 match ups seemed to favor the avengers, but these new ones suggest that the x men will dominate. im just glad that the marvel guys said there would definitely be a winner and loser, no draws or cop outs like in civil war.

Well, now those are ones I'd like to see. At least it isn't that obvious who's gonna win. I'm very excited about Rogue vs. Miss Marvel too, time to see if Rogue will win again. I hope she wins, but it's more likely for Miss Marvel to win this one.

Assuming these fights did happen, a lot of them seem like they'd be one-sided.

Thing vs Colossus that looks like Juggernaut looks like an interesting fight like the Hulk vs. The Thing. I thought Archangel was gone or is it some AoA business coming into Earth- 616? Gambit vs. Spider-Woman, should be fun to an extent. I'm more interested why Archangel and Hulk are doing in these battles. Last I checked Hulk hasn't been an Avenger since it was founded in the 60's. So why is he fighting with them now?

I'm surprised at all the complaining about these fights...wait no I'm really not. I'm actually excited for this particular event even though I'm just as sick of these Marvel "events" as everybody else. Reason being I'm just going to take it for what it is, and that is a big ass whoop fest between the Avengers and X-Men. Don't even really care who wins or what happens cause let's all face it, some or possibly many fights will be decided according to the plot or writer bias. To me that just comes with the comic book territory. Also really like the idea of having two separate books in which one focuses strictly on the fights.

Wow JIM CHEUNG's art work is AMAZINGLY beautiful, very similar to Dale Keown's hmmm...Now give us some Asian male superhero Jim! Oh NO! How disappointing, they go Romita the SUPER WORST artist to draw? He and George Perez should leave permanently! They both SUCK I don't know why they're still around.

What's the deal with Colossus? When did he intertwined with Juggernaut to look like this? Were they both FAGs? How did I miss that?

Refrain from using such language in the future, please.
