Rick Remender Adds More Members to UNCANNY AVENGERS Roster

With so many Avengers and X-Men to choose from, it's no surprised there will now be nine members.

If you've read the first issue of UNCANNY AVENGERS, you know we already have quite the roster. The roster currently consists of Havok, Captain America, Wolverine, Rogue, Thor and Scarlet Witch. It was a little odd that Cap asked Havok to lead this squad despite other leaders such as himself, Wolverine and Rogue being on the team. We also saw some conflict between Rogue and Scarlet Witch.

To make things more complicated, it's been announced that in issue #5, Rick Remender will be adding three more characters to the roster.

No Caption Provided

Wasp, Wonder Man and Sunfire are coming to the team. We've already seen that apparently Wonder Man has been forgiven for his action against the team in the pages of THE AVENGERS.

It was mentioned that Wolverine and Sunfire have some "business" to resolve. Wonder Man will be a pacifist and P.R. guy for the team. Perhaps we'll see the return of his feelings for Scarlet Witch? Wasp will provide funding for the team so they don't have to rely on "government mandates."

It was also announced that Olivier Coipel will be filling in for John Cassaday on the issue. This all sounds pretty interesting.

YAY WASP!!! I've missed her! One of my favs!

Having a mixture of Avengers and X-men on this team could be interesting, but I don't know about Wonder Man. He's always been a tiny bit of a crybaby.

I don't get it. When Cassaday redesigned the X-Men for Astonishing X-Men, they were arguably some of the best and most iconic redesigns ever.

Now we have these......

Man, even the characters look bored! They should've given Remender Storm and Brother Voodoo like he wanted. Grr.

I think Cap asked Havoc because he not only wants the public to know that he trusts mutants (like Cyclops' brother) but to also let the Mutant Community know that Cyclops hasn't made it so that mutants are now ordered around by humans (Cap isn't ordering around the X-Men). I think that Cap isn't only a natural leader, but also knows when to stand aside and let others lead. He is a good soldier too, and can follow orders too.

WAIT, when did Wasp return? What? Just out of nowhere! I'm thinking cool Wonder Man is an Avenger again. Then I spot Wasp? Someone can you fill me in? Is there a series I need to pick up now?

And didn't Sunfire loose his legs?

God I was hoping Wonder-Man would show up soon! I loved the two annuals that focused on him and the Revengers. Glad he's back.

@cameron83 : Actually the Tron joke isn't even mine, it's from the X-Factor comic book. Check it out, it's hilarious. The panel where Havok admits his last costume looks like Tron is awesome - which is why he ditched it.

I'm stoked for this! Sunfire is a real wildcard, he could definitely spice things up a bit. I'm also sort of hoping Wonder Man will revert back to his Hollywood movie star personality, complete with red jacket and ionic jet pack!

I also thought Sunfire was underused. Good to see someone try something with him.

Also, I funny it sad and funny that Havok is supposed to be the leader, but every promotional image and cover of UA shows Cap in the middle/focal point while Havok is off to the side.

wow......comic book fans are so picky,that it's disgusting.

I mean really,just really.....not everything is going to please you.

Just accept things sometimes,maybe your "favorite character" is something other than you thought,the character wasn't changed,you just thought wrong...

anyway,looks great,who is the guy in fire colors..

I don't know to much about Wonder Man, but I really really liked the Revengers story, and I kind wish he stayed a baddy for a while. Oh well. I don't really like Wasp tho. Neve did. Sunfire being another mutant just makes this book more interesting. I have faith in Remender. Since when do we get Home Depot pop-ups on here as well.

yeah!? So Wasp never did die they say. Sweet they got some power house players on the team. I love that there bringing in Wonder Man. I hope Simon won't go crazy. He's a good character. And for Sunfire, great choice! Wish he can look like his Age of Apocalypse outfit... but then he did look like that in the main stream when he was a horse men. Hey Rick Remender who else you gonna put on the team? I wanna see She-Hulk or Kitty pride on this team. Love this news.

So Cap is back in his old uniform again. I guess they aren't going for consistency in Marvel Now since this has to be his 6th uniform in the Now teasers, issues, and covers.

But isn't her money gone because she technically died

What the f%&k.

Wonder Man's been pardoned? Wanda's been pardoned? Yet Cyclops is the most wanted man on the planet? BULLSH!T.

Also, Sunfire tried to kill the X-Men last time we saw him. Ridiculous.

I've never even heard of Sunfire, so I guess I'll give it a go to see what he's all about... though I found #1 to be pretty average.

I hate this book so much. The story feels so generic and obvious. Too bad I'm too much of a Rogue fan so I can't drop this book. To make things worst, Wasp is in the team, I can't miss it, even though I wanted to.

Have you given a try. Aside from some problems I have with the art the book is great. The story is really compelling and the inclusion of some "secondary" mutants like Havok and Sunfire writes as something really interesting.

@RalfvdH said:

Coipel on this issue and in combination with Rick Remender ...:) SOLD!! At least for this issue.... Just kinda hope they will change the costume design of Sunfire a bit....

This makes me want to keep reading even more... but I do agree with you. Some of those costume designs NEED to change. Like Rogue's, Havok's and now Sunfire's. (I do like Wanda's though.)

I support any decision that puts Sunfire into a regular monthly title. That cat's been around since the 70's & is still one of the most underutilized of all Marvel's characters. Wonderman is redundant in the same team with Thor. He's clearly only on hand to serve as a romantic foil for the Scarlet Witch, a relationship I never much cared for. Happy to see the Wasp find purchase with this team. I'd like to see Quicksilver & Banshee on this roster.

Yeah... I know Banshee's dead. It's comics. One line of type brings him back.
