    Avengers

    Team » Avengers appears in 7694 issues.

    The Avengers are Earth's mightiest heroes and foremost super-team... "There came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, the Avengers were born - to fight the foes no single super hero could withstand! Heed the call, then - for now, the Avengers Assemble!"

    Is Hickman still planning on having a roster of 25 Avengers?

    I know the current team consists of:

    Black Widow

    Cannonball

    Captain America

    Captain Marvel

    Captain Universe

    Falcon

    Hawkeye

    Hulk

    Hyperion

    Iron Man

    Manifold

    Shang-Chi

    Smasher

    Spider-Woman

    Sunspot

    Superior Spider-Man

    Thor

    Wolverine

    And I know that in the last issue Star Brand, Nightmask, Ex Nihilo, and Abyss joined, but that only brings us up to 22. Originally he had said the roster would hold 25. Do you think that idea got scrapped or do you think he's still planning to do the full 25? If so, who do you think will join and why?

    I think he still plans on adding more. Remember they keep saying bigger.

    I do like the idea of selecting members to fit the situation, much like Justice League Unlimited did.

    I think it's 24, not 25.

    Ugh, that's way too many characters for one title...feels bloated as heck.

    This.

    Plus don't the Uncanny Avengers and Mighty Avengers count as well? Or were they just speaking specifically of Hickman's book?

    No, the Uncanny Avengers don't seem to count. It was 25 specifically for Hickman's book.
