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.

Thing vs Colossus ... Thing wins.

Thing vs Unstoppable Colossus ... UC wins.

Spiky Thing vs Unstoppable Colossus ... Tie

Yes i remember and Liked the Spiky Thing era. His Strength and Durablility was off the charts.

Ben Grimm's experience , fighting skills and just plain toughness are more than enough to handle Colossus in his normal form, even with his strength increase. But the "juggernaut upgrade" is what complicates the issue. But just remember, a magical entity that is willing to change avatars once might be willing to do so again, especially if it finds what it perceives to be a better host... Also, in the old days, Ben always won against Namor if they fought on land; water of course was a different issue.

From the looks of the new cover Juggolossus is eying Red Hulk. What does it mean? Nada, but here's hoping! Colossus will murder Ben. Seems like a waste of a matchup.

Normally Ben would defeat Colossus relatively easily but now that Colossus has the power of the Juggernaut, Ben is in trouble.

So the whole 'Archangel is dead forever' thing looks like ti's going to last, what? all of four months? Nice one, Marvel, brilliant undermining of what has probably been one of the best character deaths in recent comic history.

I'm not even going to ask what is up with Collosus and the Juggernaut outfit. I haven't read the X-men books in a while. I see they got Dale Keown to draw the picture, atleast it looks cool. The only interior art Keown's done in the past few years is the Pitt/Darkness crossover and a few pages in other Top Cow books like the Darkness.

These aren't literal match-ups, right?

I can't believe there's only six people that notice the fact that Archangel shouldn't be there... I mean everyone notice it with thor.... is it that hard to pick up X-Force?

Warning this may contain Favoritism!!!

Even though i know she isn't an Avenger, I hope and pray somehow, Someway we get another teaser pic with Elektra just so i can see what her X men opponent would be.... my guess would be Mystique but yea....

Stoked to see Colossus VS The THING! 
Equally Stoked for Archangel to cut Daredevil into little bitty pieces of human play clay lol. 
Just wish the art for these fights is better than the previews, I really miss David Finch sigh.

the more fights they reveal the less interested I am in this, I feel like they are doing this just to make the X-Men look tough. These fights are rather boring because unless the X-men are written badly.............hmmmmmmm after seeing who's writing Avengers will win

Confused.. isn't Angel like... a blank sheet now? Or have I missed somthing? Or is this just spoiler alert that he's going to revert back to being Archangel and throw the whole Dark Angel thing like it was trash?

If these teasers are how the series is going to play out then it makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER!

When they did this storyline 3 years ago (Utopia), Cyclops was very careful to never send x-men up against avengers 1 on 1, he had an army and deployed his resources according to each avenger. A good example being Armour, Pixie & X-23 taking down Daken. I know Cyclops ranks have been depleted lately but there is no way he send his troops up against the avengers unless the odds are in their favour.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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).
