A Very Very Dark Avengers Line-Up

Truth be told, I actually liked the original line-up of the Dark Avengers. However, the new line-up can kiss my rotten zombie butt. Only Jeff Parker and his Thunderbolts can make that line-up even remotely good.

So....here's my version of a Dark Avengers line-up. Some will be recurring, others brand new.

Edit: Ixchel can be replaced by another Mayan Goddess. I don't remember her name, but she's a shape-shifting trickster Goddess. Unlike Loki though, she's all good. 8-)

List items

  • Yes he's a Cap knock-off, but so was Bucky. Plus, I actually like him out of the others outside of Cap (cuz everyone loves Steve Rogers :3) and he has a snazzy color scheme.

    Plus he's in the new line-up of the Dark Avengers once Marvel NOW kicks-off, so it seems like a good choice.

  • Red Hulk, the one and only (okay, only red male Hulk then lol). Skaar may be the Hulk of the new Dark Avengers, but he's not a team player. At all. Plus he's naive and young, despite the Hell he lived through in Sakaar.

    Now Red has age, rage, experience and has the gamma balls to kill, a thing that the green members of the Hulk lineage are squeamish to do. Plus he'd make for a good candidate as a leader, something that a team's been lacking since the original Defenders and Incredible Hulks.

  • War Machine may be a Secret Avenger, but he can easily be part of two groups and not be boring (just look at Spidey and Beast). Plus there needs to be a liason between the government and the team, so who better than a still enlisted high ranking soldier? Certainly not Rulk, since the very army he built is still trying to gut and quarter him like a buck white tail.

    (in case of unavailability, just use Crimson Dynamo)

  • Has the physique of Bane and the gun toting and archery skills of Hawykeye and Green Arrow. Plus he's a nasty opponent of Captain America, and it would do him good to be disciplined by the other anti-heroic members of the team.

    Can be substituted with Barney Barton/Trickshot.

  • Sure he's an alien. Sure he isn't a God. Sure he is the last of his race. But that doesn't stop Bill from being a hard worn badass of a hero. Plus he has all the storm abilities of Mjolnir and Thor, but without any of the weaknesses.

    Plus he looks awesome from a visual standpoint.

  • Probably my least favorite choice, but she's the best infiltrator possible. Plus she's very willing to fight if you give her a big enough cause, and what cause is greater than the expansion of the super powered individual?

    Plus Magneto probably bet her 5 bucks she wouldn't pass the entrance exam.

  • I love Venom. I love Carnage. But one has been a Dark Avenger before and the other is too unstable to have join anything.

    But Toxin....he's genuinely good for a symbiote and funny at times. Plus his symbiotic powers are far beyond those of his dad and gramps.

  • She may be locked away in a crystalline prism at the end of Red Hulk's Mayan Rule, but a good Mayan never stays down. A Goddess, she is immortal and can control aspect of the seas and moon.

    She's also telepathic, a shape shifter and has wicked tastes in furs and clothing.

  • All the fun of Wolverine without the lame-ness. Well, until you bring in crap writers that is.

    Can be subbed with Daken, but don't count on it for long (since Daken's "dead")

  • Why Deadpool? WHY NOT? Every team needs a prankster, and Deadpool invented comedy. Plus it'd be awesome to see him poke fun at Red Hulk.
