Definitely one of my favorite moments from the Avengers. Alkhema was trouncing many of the Avengers until Wanda showed up. An excellent display of her abilities!
From Busiek's run is this moment when Captain America talks with the Exemplars. All of these Exemplars are supposed to be as strong as Juggernaut. They all beat the Avengers. So what is Captain America to them? What is Captain America indeed:
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."

Great series of moments from Avengers Vol.3, #23
Here we see this story between Vision and Wonder Man and an exploration of their identities. Yes, there is this awesome page where Vison punches Wonder Man:
But the rest of the issue has the two discuss Vision's sense of being the copy and Wonder Man's regrets in life. The issue came out between Ultron Unlimited and the Exemplar story, so it got lost in the shuffle. However, it's still worth a look."I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."

In celebration of the Invasion of the Spider-Slayers coming into TPB form just recently, thought I post some scenes from a storyline that really made me a Spider-Man fan. Loved this scene where Spidey is just randomly attacked by an alien Spider-Slayer. Unfortunately, I can't find the scene showing how he defeated the spider-slayer, which is the most awesome part. Still, the fight is great nonetheless:
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."

Never read the issue proper, but this splash page added this new dimension to Galactus. While we humans envision him as being a purple helmeted giant, other alien races see him in differently. Galactus isn't a being per se, but some cosmic force that we somehow perceive:
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."

Me too. Still love the increased strength (Class 100, maybe?). Too bad it wasn't much help against Mr. Fixit...
