I know he's not exactly a fan-favorite, but I like Starbrand a lot. Cool origin, cool powers, and I really connect with his beginnings as a mild-mannered kid who was always just a member of the supporting cast in other peoples' more successful lives.
Hyperion, without a doubt. This version seems very interesting.
I can't pick it's between Hyperion, Smasher and manifold.
We need better comics
I do like Starbrand (as a character) but this version hasn't really captured me yet. But I am still intrigued. And Hyperion is very cool even though I am not too keen on alternate universe characters (Rachel Grey excluded over course) crossing over to 616. And Smasher is very interesting though I am very surprised that the Shi'ar would every pick an Earthling for the Imperial Guard.
Shang-Chi for me. I just think he is such an amazing character and to get to see him with the big boys puts a smile on my face. He's got Stark tech to help him keep up with the foes they are fighting.
"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
Anya Sofia Corazon - Spider-Girl
She's an Avengers now and the big names of the Avengers mentored her for the most part before Captain America made her recruitment official at the end.
Why isn't Manifold on this list?
He gets my vote! After him I would probably say....Smasher.
I'm surprised Havok has so many votes.
For myself, it's very close between Smasher and Manifold.
Manifold gets my vote simply because they've needed someone with powers like his for a long time. And the way he uses his powers in combat is really cool.
Hyperion, Smasher, And Starbrand are all cool , too.
I'd really like to know more about Night Mask, as well. I don't even know if we've been told or shown much of what he can do.
I'm going with Havok, he's been pretty awesome throughout Uncanny Avengers as it's leader and I hope that whatever team book Remender is writing next, perhaps Astonishing Avengers, Havok will be a part of that as well.
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
