Here's the cover:
I don't think Norman is Iron Patriot anymore, he's most certainly director of SHIELD.
But i'm getting a Thunderbolts feel of the image. Somehow Iron Patriot reminds me of Zemo, and the Ms. Marvel lookalike could easily be Moonstone.
Also it looks like Wolverine has boobs, and i don't think the other one is either Spider-Man (too muscly) or Venom (too skinny). The one in the back is probably not Hawkeye either.
It almost looks like an alternate reality thing.
Avengers
Team » Avengers appears in 7704 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!"
Dark Avengers #1

Your absolutely right on the Thunderbolts feel! Wolverine definately looks femine in physique and w/boobs, That looks like a cross between iron man/Cap America, and Hawkeye and Venom pretty much look like hawkeye and Venom (minus a kilo or two, i'd sum that up to the artist, but could be more to it) and very much possibly moonstone, in a Cap Marvel-esque costume? Hmmm, wonder what Phyla would have to say about this?
"VenomCitizen V (Iron Patriot)SwordsmanX-23Ultra Girlmaybe?"
That's a pretty good call, i'm impressed, Vance :-)
Well this is the cover of the comic so it's possible that the people shown in on the cover are nowhere near a showing of who is actually on the team.
"Vance Astro said:=] YAY..I impressed Raiden!"VenomCitizen V (Iron Patriot)SwordsmanX-23Ultra Girlmaybe?"

Hey, it aint the first time, though you may not know it :-)
"I can't wait to get this comic."
I have mixed feelings bout this? Till I know more bout the premise, it's hard to feel that their not cashing in on the avengers name with this asortment of (Dark) Avengers, if that makes sense?
"It's probably not X-23, she only has two claws on each hand."
Yeah, that's what I was thinking after looking at that picture again, so unless they give her some kinda upgrade or some alternate version? Won't really know till we have that first issue in our hands!
I think you're over analyzing it..characters always look different..it depends on the artist.
Venom (Mac Gargan)
Hawkeye (Clint Barton)... edit: or Swordsman
Iron Patriot (still think it's Osborn)
Wolverine
Ultra Girl...Ms. Marvel gave her her old costume when she graduated...
i was hoping for a more interesting lineup...

It's a Deodato cover, you do know he draws Venom huuuuuge, right.
And why would he draw Wolverine with boobs?
idk about Venom...
and i don't think those are boobs on Wolverine..considering the angle...they chest looks perfectly..imo at least...
"Obi Wan Kenobi! said:because it's not Wolverine..he's confirmed as a New Avenger same with Clint..there may be no one like Wolverine even on the team..Marvel covers almost always depict something different than what's inside to keep you guessing."I think you're over analyzing it..characters always look different..it depends on the artist.

lol...yeah i saw that...lol...maybe it's not Venom..
@vance: yeah but it's Dark Avengers #1..they wouldn't throw you a curveball like that on a first issue...

Considering it's an homage to New Avengers 1 it's safe to say that's the team.
"lol...yeah i saw that...lol...maybe it's not Venom..Why wouldn't they throw a curve on the first issue? We are all wondering...It would keep the suspense up.
@vance: yeah but it's Dark Avengers #1..they wouldn't throw you a curveball like that on a first issue...

"Maybe Daken had a Sex change..."i was thinking Daken..but those don't look like his claws...

and peeps..i'm still not seeing any boobage..
muscly guys like Logan have big chests...that IS Wolverine...

There is something bout that pic of Wolvie that does look feminine lol The face/cheeks, possible boobs, slim, non hairy?
alright well..i'm not so sure anymore
IGN:
Sadly Brevoort couldn't say too much, but he did offer the following quote: "Who are the Dark Avengers? That's the question that all of Marveldom is going to be asking as Secret Invasion gives way to Dark Reign. Are they clones? Doppelgangers? Future Echoes? Or something more immediate and horrifying? And once their identity is revealed, that will only propel the Marvel Universe onto a path that will carry it forward towards an inevitable, explosive climax."

Jeezus, don't know what to make of that statement?
Well we know Hawkeye and Wolverine are confirmed New Avengers so they are out
"is it me or is that a small roster? what happened to the 7 man rule?Wolverine isn't that tall,Kate Bishop is Hawkeye,and Spider-Man doesn't have a symbiote.I doubt it.
also...could the newavengers members like spidey wolve and clint just be on 2 teams? Wolve is on every team there is"

wolverines height varies all the time depending who draws him. cant base it on that. that hawkeye looks like a dude.and spidey has just worn a black suit before also his build varies again on who draws him. Lets keep the option open
"Vance Astro said:All 3 of those guys are confirmed New Avengers.The writer said this team would have some relation to the Evil Illuminati so it is obvious that it has to be someone evil or slightly misguided.Also you can clearly see that isn't Logan..his build does vary with artist but he has never been that skinny or that tall,I don't see any reason Clint would be Hawkeye after he retired the name to Kate and Gargan went through alot to be Venom again even though I doubt that's him.If all other theories fail..I know for a fact they are all New Avengers so that couldn't be them anyway unless it's them from a different universe or clones."speedlgt said:"is it me or is that a small roster? what happened to the 7 man rule?Wolverine isn't that tall,Kate Bishop is Hawkeye,and Spider-Man doesn't have a symbiote.I doubt it."

"Vance Astro said:What is Hawkeye?"Its hawkeye"VenomCitizen V (Iron Patriot)SwordsmanX-23Ultra Girlmaybe?"
"Vance Astro said:No it isn't." Kain said:""Vance Astro said:What is Hawkeye?""Its hawkeye"VenomCitizen V (Iron Patriot)SwordsmanX-23Ultra Girlmaybe?"
"It's not X-23 (nor Daken): the figure in the picture three claws, both have two coming from their knuckles (Daken has another coming from his wrist, and X-23 has one from her toe).VenomCitizen V (Iron Patriot)SwordsmanX-23Ultra Girlmaybe?"
Venom? Gargan would be my guess.
Iron Patriot? No idea..... Tony?
I agree with you about Swordsman.... it's not Clint, nor is it Kate.

"Well we know Hawkeye and Wolverine are confirmed New Avengers so they are outThe Hawkeye in the picture can't be Kate Bishop because it's a manTaskmaster is the only person with Hawkeye's marksmanship and the bow and trick arrows to match.So maybe it's him.Maybe it could also be Black Crow..he's a member of the Initiative who uses a bow...Also Crusader who wears purple uses alot of other characters weapons and accessories and Fury thinks highly of him..maybe it's him.Swordsman or Baron Zemo could also be valid choices.The girl in Ms.Marvel's costume looks more like Moonstone than Ultra Girl because Ultra Girl cut her hair to look more like Classic Ms.Marvel...but then where is Ms.Marvel? She's not confirmed to be a Mighty or New Avenger....Is Norman Osborn the new Director of SHIELD? That makes absolutely no sense seeing as how....He's an ex-villan who has to take medication to stay stable,War Machine I guess is the current Director because he took over Iron Man's Director comic,and Maria Hill who is still alive was Tony's second in command..oh and let's not forget Fury is back.The Iron Patriot...is most likely someone who has a America driven persona...most likely in my mind Citizen V (John Watkins III),It could also maybe be Mach IV...if anyone recalls he was once a Thunderbolt and he already knows how to use Stark's tech because he stole some of it..Iron Man ended up owning him.The Wolverine character..could be Nighthawk...his costume is similar to Wolverine's and he had claws tooLastly as far as Venom is concerned..we know he just owned Anti-Venom and went from Scorpion back to Venom..so I think it's still Gargan..if not It's possibly someone we don't expect."
"the one you thought swordsman was is hawkeye"IT'S NOT HAWKEYE..HE'S A NEW AVENGER..HE IS ALREADY CONFIRMED FOR THE TEAM..GODDAMN.
"JUST CAUSE HES CONFIRMED DOESNT MEAN HE CANT BE ON TWO TEAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. DAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"WHEN HAS ANYONE EVER BEEN ON TWO AVENGERS TEAMS AT ONCE.....SECONDLY IF THIS COMIC HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH EVIL ILLUMINATI WHY WOULD HAWKEYE (WHO ISN'T EVIL) BE ON THE GOT DAMN TEAM!!!!!!!!???? IF THAT IS HAWKEYE..IT'S NOT CLINT BARTON.
