I'll add my vote for Ultimates 3. Millar should have Jeph Loeb shot for what he did to Mark's creation. It was the 1st step to Loeb destroying the Ultimate Line.

Show-Me Defenders (Yes there is a theme)

• Cardinal - Mystic/Kung-Fu warrior garbed in Red
• RAMpage - Blue/Gold Strong man (not to mention quick and invunerable)
• Blue Velvet - Drop dead gorgeous Heroine with tactile kinetic control over any fabric
• El Jefe (The Chief) - Hispanic American teen w/ hypnotic abilities and a dry sense of humor
• R.O.Y.A.L - Rapid Ossilation Y-axis Artificial Lifeform (Robot with Wind powers -- has that already been done :P )
• Iron Tiger - Time Stranded Humanoid Feline-Cyborg.

@Jorgevy: These fine warriors are from the "Show Me" State of Missouri. All characters are based on sports teams (St Louis Cardinals, Rams, Blues / Kansas City Chiefs, Royals / University of Missouri Tigers).

JLA/Avengers was awesome.

Also enjoyed Batman & Captain America by John Byrne. Although it will never happen would love to see the Sidekicks crossover (Nightwing & Winter Soldier).

Broke a couple rules by adding a Non-Avengers to each team (although that term is losing meaning after AVX) and have added an extra team...

Street Avengers

• Hawkeye - Leader
• Black Widow
• Winter Soldier
• Falcon
• Forge
• Spider-Man
• Iron Fist

International/Secret Avengers

• Captain America - Leader
• Spider-Woman
• Hank Pym
• Wolverine
• Tigra
• Red Hulk
• Darkstar

Cosmic Avengers

• Captain Marvel (Carol) - Leader
• Iron Man
• Beta Ray Bill
• Quasar
• Vision
• Sersi
• Nova (Rich Rider)

Mystic Avengers {think J.L.Dark}

• Doctor Strange - Leader
• Scarlet Witch
• Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch)
• Venom (Flash Thompson)
• Valkyrie
• Prince of Orphans
• Sandman

7 out of basically the entire Marvel Universe (minus Forbush Man)...okay

1. Captain America
2. Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)
3. Hawkeye
4. Red Hulk
5. Vision
6. Spider-Man
7. Black Widow

@TheHulk: IDW have a great Godzilla comics IDW Shop Godzilla - Series

IDW has been hit or miss (Kindgom of Monsters went downhill quick, but the mini series have been awesome...haven't caught up on my reading to try new ongiong yet).

Best part of Marvel's run was the SHIELD involvement throughout the series and the final battle with FF/Avengers at the end. This is the series that introduced me to those teams and Issue 23 & 24 hold a special place with me. One of first series I introduced to each of my kids.

If you enjoyed Marvel's Godzilla I would recommend the Shogun Warrior series that came out around same timeframe, has the same creative team, and features the return of DOCTOR DEMONICUS!

Going with my Top 5 Characters

Gallery

• Captain America
• The Flash (Wally West)
• Vampirella
• Godzilla
• Uncle Scrooge

Captain America - Chris Evans. Hated the choice originally but he has made me a believer. He is Steve Rogers!

Bucky - Jamie Bell. Nothing against Sebastian, but I like the idea of Bucky being younger than Cap, but not a kid.

Sub-Mariner - Jason Momoa. Forget Conan. Add pointed ears and winged feet and he is Namor.

Human Torch - Alex Pettyfer. Catch 'I am Number Four' to get an idea of him being a character not quite 'Human'

Toro - David Henrie. David would offer the fun loving Toro from '70 series (but like Buck not 10 years old)

Spitfire - Alice Eve. British, Blonde. Hot. She screams spitefire

Union Jack - Paul Bettany. Little worried about age here, but no other Brit kicks butt like him.
