First Look: AVENGERS VS X-MEN #1 Teasers

The teasers to the first issue of the upcoming Marvel event reveals two battles that will likely be featured in the story.

On Friday we posted about Marvel's all-new upcoming mini-series AvX VS that will be released in conjunction with AVENGERS VS X-MEN. Rather than publishing all the drawn out fight scenes in the book featuring the main story, Marvel has decided to split the two into two separate volumes. Fans who love seeing fights play out can pick up AvX VS which will feature different creative teams tackling fights between many of the different Marvel characters.

AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #1 (JAN120625)
Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS, JASON AARON, MATT FRACTION, JONATHAN HICKMAN, ED BRUBAKER
Art by JOHN ROMITA JR.
Cover by JIM CHEUNG
FOC – 2/27/12, ON SALE – 4/3/12

Not to worry, though; Marvel is still promising to deliver a story. Earlier today the publisher revealed two teasers for the first issue of AVENGERS VS X-MEN, set to hit stores in April 2012. Each cover features a different fight between two different sets of characters -- the question is, will we be seeing these fights play out in the first issue of the big event? Based on the reveals from Friday, we are going to go with yes.

The first two characters to go head-to-head in the first issue of AvX VS will be Iron Man vs. Magneto and Namor vs. The Thing.

The first teaser features Black Widow up against Psylocke, and the second (above) has Iron Man up against Magneto. Who will win the respective battles? We will have to wait and see. Check out the full solicitations for the #1 issue as well as both covers. What do you think? Are you looking forward to this big Marvel event? Do you think Marvel's decision to split the story and battles into two separate books

Psylocke and Magneto win in those two situations... I still say that the X-Men have the advantage.

Yay IRONMAN vs the master of Magnetism and Black Widow against one of the strongest psychics alive. This seems fair

@The Dark HuntressBendis isn't writing Iron Man vs Magneto, Aaron is. 
 
And given that Aaron wrote Magneto losing to Hellverine and a bunch of 10 year olds with a ray gun I wouldn't count Tony out.

I assume Iron Man will be going into the fight with either a non-metallic suit or some convenient and recently developed anti-magnetism tech. Would be a one page issue with Magneto making Tony dance like a puppet otherwise.

Spy vs. Ninja, that'll be very interesting to see, especially since Psylocke has telepathy/telekinesis on her side should she choose to deploy these abilities in her arsenal

I refuse to accept the existence of the Kid Hellfire Club as canon. It is not my personal canon (and mine is the only opinion that counts on said matter).

The X-Men take both matches unless Shield has some tech to use to their advantage.

Still don't know how The X-Men can handle Thor.

@The Dark Huntress: You are going down Fade's route. But for the record, I strongly dislike the Hellfire brats, too. 
 
As for Magneto, Iron Lad recently did handwave him away while wearing an armor that is based on Tony's current one, it's just that most people (including most writers) are unaware of that.

Fights that will be briefly seen in the main book will be thoroughly expanded upon in Versus.

I love the premise, honestly. The entire idea of the X-men and Avengers throwing down with a cosmic catastrophe on the horizon is really, really badass. But some of the writers and the fact that I'm on a budget sway me. Oh, and the fact that Jean Gray will come back. Again.

If this event has any solid, perfect ending, let it be with Jean being wiped from reality once and for all.

It would take a LOT more for me to go down Fade's route lol. I'm relatively opposite of him. I have optimism, as approaching EVERYTHING with skepticism.

It has the potential to be an epic fight, IMO. However, I don't see how Psy could lose against Natasha.

Actually I see ways for Tony to win against Magneto with an armor designed to fight him. That is what he does make specialty armors that lvl the playing field. Not saying he will win but he does have a chance.

I don't see how Thing can defeat Namor. I would like to see an H2H fight between Psylock and Black Widow but unless she has some spy thing to deal with her TP she isn't winning.

The rosters were pretty cool. Avengers: Cap, She-Hulk, Black Knight, Photon, Dr. Druid & Thor (who was severely weakened from a curse from Hela)

X-Men: Wolverine, Storm (depowered at the time), Havok, Dazzler & Rogue. Magneto was kind of caught in the middle of the conflict.

I stand corrected. Magneto is the only one that would really turn the tide, at least with Photon there.

Herc vs. Mags was just terrible.

Iron Man vs. Mags has been back and forth for years now. I remember he made an appearance in the Avengers some time in the eighties where he threw around Cap, IM, and Thor. At least I think I remember that.

Again, maybe I don't recall it correctly. It's just that there seem to be several where Magneto does some ridiculous without his powers. Like in the 80s when he takes a punch from Colossus and his personal shield may or may not be down.
