While Marvel Comics is still in the midst of promoting writer Jason Aaron's crossover finale to his Avengers run 'Avengers Assemble' in the pages of Avengers and Avengers Forever, the publisher has also made it clear the franchise will be getting something of a new direction𝐆 afte🔯r Avengers Assemble Omega in April.

We know for sure the title will get a new creative team (and we suspect Jed MacKay is on top of the le🌳ade🍷rboard of candidates for a new writer) and a new logo calling back to aও fan-favorite era. And because this is Marvel in the year 2023, it will almost certainly get a relaunch a𝓡nd a new #1.

But what we don't know about the new incarnation is what's always at the heart of any Aveng🎐ers era - the make-uܫp of the team roster.

Like their DC counterparts, the Justice League, Earth's Mightiest Heroes have always been defined by their line-up - from the founders and mainstays, to "Cap's Kooky Quartet," to the West Coast branch and the aforementioned "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mighty Avengers" and leather jackets eras, to the New Avengerℱs all the more modern off-shoots.

And like the Justiꦐce League over the last decade has cemented the Wonder Woman - Superman - Batman core, Marvel has somewhat settled into a standard core line-up that has been one part a reflection of the title's origins and one part a reflection of the Avengers' status in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Despite some fluctuations, Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor have been at the cente꧅r of Avengerꦚs titles more than they have not for many years now.

But with Cap, Iron Man, and Thor either deceased or in Thor's case, focusing on his adopted daughter in deep space in the MCU, Marvel Comics no longer has the same synergistic rationale to keep 😼those characters at the heart of its♏ Avengers comic book titles.

At least not right now.

They'll always be the classic line-up, and Marvel will always eventually return to them sooner or later, but with a new era arriving soon and a new dynamic in place in the MCU, Newsarama thought it'd be the perfect time to consider what a brand new Aven♌gers line-up could look like.

So without further ado, here's our best shot at a new line-up that tries to acknꦇowledge the history of the team while at the same time trying to pump in a little bit of fresh air, and ♓keeps Marvel's need for the comic books to at least partially reflect the goings-on of the MCU, all at the same time. 

The Hulk

We consider this a no-brainer. Not only is the Hulk a solo title star and co-founder of the Avengers (albeit in a clunky way), but iไn 60 years he'🌜s rarely had a genuine stint on the team as a member in good standing. 

And the timing works out perfectly because the Hulk is also simultaneously due for a reinvention in the pages of his own ongoing 🤪series.

The Hulk's history has always been about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:different iterations of thဣe man-monster conflict. After a few years steeped in horror, and the past year in a sort of sci-fi psychological bent, it might be time to let the Hulk be a full-fledged superhero again for a stint, like during Peter David's well-received '90s run (that inspired Mark Ruffalo's🅠 current 'Professor Hulk' persona) in which he played nicely with the superhero team the Pantheon.

In addition to b🌃eing the team's smartest and mostඣ powerful member, the Hulk's inclusion would also be the first time his place in the MCU Avengers would be reflected in the comic books as the other original 2012 movie members have been.

Sign us up for a super-smart, heroic Hul🍷k leading the team he helped found …. finally after all these years.

Spider-Man

If Captain America is to the Avengers what Superman is toꦑ the Ju🐼stice League, then Spider-Man should be its Batman.

The Avengers should always have a place fo🔯r Marvel's most popular and iconic supe𓆏rhero, and Spidey is no more ill a fit on a team than the Dark Knight is. In fact, the fish-out-of-water element is what makes the fit fun.

After years of flirting with the team, Spider-Man finally joined in 2004's seminal New Avengers, which Newsarama has long argued 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:paved the way for the MCU as🌃 we know it.

Sure, Spider-Man served a few years on 📖the squad but was always low in the leadership pecking order behind the mainstays.

It's time Marvel carved out a regular role for its most popular superhero on its most popular 🌜superhero team that doe🌜sn't make him feel like a temporary interloper. 

The Wasp/Janet Van Dyne

We may be aging ourselves here, but there was a time this founding member had risen to the ranks of Chairperson even while Cap, Thor, and Iron Man were memꦺbers and cam▨e into her own as a team member and superhero and not just the wife/sidekick of Hank Pym.

The Wasp has had only temporary flings with the team and its off-shoots since t🌳hat era, but it's time for her to join fellow founding member the Hulk in the hierarchy of the Avengers.

There are not one but two Wasps in the MCU and about to get the spotlight in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, so it's time for Janet Van Dyne to again step out of Ant-Man and Hank Pym's shadows and♍ be embraced again in the role she's earned - as one of the greatest Avengers.

Monica Rambeau/Photon

The new/old Avenge𓄧rs logo might somewhat lend itself to the suggestion Monica is returning to the team anyway, like the Wasp she's a former popular Avengers chairperson who's been given various roles on other superhero teams like the Ultimates and Thunderbolts in more recent years.

The starജ of a current limited series that's harkening back to her days on the Avengers, Monica will also go full-superhero for the first time in the MCU in July's The Marvels, so it's the ideal moment to let her shine again where she's shin꧅ed the brightest, as a member and a leader of the Earth's Mightiest Heroes. 

Scarlet Witch

Wanda Maximoff is starring in her first-ever ongoing se🤪ries, so her to return to the pages of the core Avengers title lines right up. Wanda had become more of a mainstay of the West Coast branch an🤪d more contemporary off-shoots like the Uncanny Avengers over the years, but her most infamous modern interaction with the team was its destruction that led to the formation of the New Avengers.

We've argued that for a long time, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wanda was more villain, victim, and object of a love triangle than the hero of her own story, and now 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:she finally seems in a place to claim a role in the leadership tier of the Marvel Universe 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:her histoꦍry and her power level dictates.

It's time the Avengers and Avengers readers get a Scarlet Witch in charge of her own destiny and with full agency for the♊ first time in their history with each other. 

Daredevil

Yeah, he's got his hands full in writer Chip Zdarky's s🎶olo title right now, and as leader of the Fist, his mission in the pages ✨of his solo series wouldn't be an ideal fit with a stint on the Avengers.

But like the Hulk and Spider-Man, he's one of those long-time solo stars that the Avengers🐻 is supposed to be a teaming of.

Yes, Matt Murdock had some limited runs with Avengers teams in the aughts, but lately Daredevil has come to realize he wants to save the world and not just keep the streets of New York's Hell's Kitchen safe fr♏om mobsters. Once hi🍨s big showdown with the Hand and the Punisher is over, Daredevil should decide his new mission would be best served as one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

And DD's recent introduction into the MCU which leads to Disney Plus' longest MCU streaming series in 2024 i๊s just another reason to include the Man Without Fear in Marvel's highest-profi൩le team title.

Black Panther/Shuri

Shuri has recently embraced the role of Black Panther in the MCU in Wakanda Forever, so it's time Marvel Comics made room for her as Black Panther (again) in the comics. But it doesn't have to be at🔜 the expense of T'Challa's place in his solo title.

The Avengers would do well to keep relations with Wakanda in good standing as well as retain access to its resources. As Hippolyta has from time to time represented Themyscira on the Justice League as Wonder Woman, Shuri can break out of T'Challa's shadow as an Avenger not as his replacement but as a Black 🃏Panther alongside him (as many Wakandan traditions as that may shatter.)

Shuri will almost certainly play a role as Black Panther in the MCU's upcoming Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and/or Secret War🌳s, so Mar༺vel Comics would just be getting ahead of the game. 

Clea Strange

Clea is giving up her solo comic book series and title of Earth's Sorcerer Supreme to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:rꦰeturning (from the dead) Doctor🎀 Stephen Strange in the n🌜ext couple of months, but these Avengers could use some expertise in the realm of magic, so perhaps Clea can stick around the Earthly plane and join the 🌊squad.

We considered Docto🌞r Strange himself but with the Hulk on the ꧂roster, it felt a little too 'Defenders.'

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Clea is one of Marvel's ol🔜de⛎st characters who nearly 60 years after her creation is just coming into her own in the comic books, an🌟d given Charlize Theron plays Clea in live action, we suspect her MCU profile will also eventually be signifi🌟cant, even if for the moment we don't know where or when. 

The wildcard/protégé

We were going to cap our suggested Avengers roster at a nice round and manageable eight. Not too few, not too many. But we also can't overlook that the Avengers have something of a history of adding young, somewhat out-of-left-field memb🎃ers to mentor.

Think Living Lightning, Silver Claw, and🎐 Firebird.

For this role, we're going with 𒆙Mosaic. The superhero created in 2016 got his own limited series that year and has more or less disappeared since.

The former p🌃rofessional basketball player is sort of DC's Deadman meets Quantum Leap meets Marvel's own Super-Adaptoid, and his unique Inhumans/Terrigen Mist-granted power set and funky visua📖ls satisfy the wildcard criteria. 

And oh yeah…

…we'd bring back the Avengers Mansion.

DC and Marvel both like to up the ante on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:superhero headquarters, and the Avengers have gone fro🔴m the 5th Avenue townhouse to𓆉 an island, a skyscraper, a mountain, and a Celestial corpse base of operations, and back to various iterations of the mansion in-between, which always seem to get destroyed by supervillains.

But as quaint as it may be, we st♓🍰ill like the good 'ole three-story with its cool subterranean levels illustrated in the old Marvel Handbooks best. The juxtaposition of the cool tech, labs, and meeting rooms with a house overseen by a butler will never be improved upon, with due apologies to Wayne Manor and Alfred. 

So those are our picks for a new Avengers roster, here's a look at the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Avengers members and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:oddest Avengers ever.
