Reptil in AVENGERS ACADEMY

"I refuse to let the past hurt me."

First Veil, then Striker, now… Reptil is the third hero whose enrollment in the Avengers Academy has been announced. The lizard-armed young man is stepping up from the Initiative and the Super Hero Squad and ascending one ladder-rung closer to a spot on the A-Team.

Is it just me or are these teasers starting to look and sound like those motivational posters you see in the waiting room at the dentist? “I refuse to let the past hurt me.” That’s an affirmative statement to live by, but to what hurtful past events do you figure Reptil refers? Could it be his screw-up in that Initiative case concerning the lizard man, Stegron? Or perhaps some trauma going back even deeper into the young man’s past?

What do you think, oh scaley-skinned Comic Vine community? Do you think Reptil’s a good choice for inclusion in the ranks of the Avengers academy? Are you pleased with the roster that’s been revealed so far?
