Which THREE Marvel Characters Would You Like To See Become Avengers?

[Pav]

Lots of great choices already listed. Shout-out to the poster who suggested Terror!

I'm trying to think of who, if included on the Avengers, make it a must-buy for me without knowing the creative team or any other contextual info; who hasn't already been on the team but seems like a reasonable addition (sorry, Slingers and Phil Urich); AND who hasn't already been mentioned. I'm also going to pass on any Spider-clones because that's too easy an answer.

My choices:

1. Crystar
2. Josiah X
3. Gali, Daughter of Galactus

I'd read the heck out of a team that featured any or all of these great characters.

-Pav, who loves a weird Z-Lister...

Namorita
Night Thrasher
Silhouette

Yes to Frenzy, for any team, anywhere! But also Starshine is a neat choice. (Really, almost every Spaceknight not named Rom was pretty neat, like Firefall or even Unam the Unseen. It kind of bugged me back in the day that almost every other Spaceknight had cool powers, like control of the living light or living flame or whatever, and Rom, could call up a gun. Woo. He's like, the Punisher of the Spaceknightvengers...)

It took me a minute, but I'm really coming around to the potential of Frenzy as one of those no-isht-taking, down for whatever, by the ton or by the pound, one-on-one or one-against-many, the most ass-kicking-est fighters in the multiverse. I would reimagine her powers as a combination of psychic vampire and kinetic energy absorber and releaser. At her base level she is already strong and nearly indestructible, but she feeds off of the aggression of her opponents, leaving them apathetic, torpid and enervated, while heightening her own fervor, durability and stamina. That coupled with the kinetic energy that she absorbs allows her to release a devastating blast-wave of raw, psycho-kinetic force, pulverizing anyone and anything within range. Trust, you do not want Frenzy to "flash" on you. Not even Jean Grey's TK force fields (or Sue Richards' for that matter) are proof against Frenzy's blast-waves.

Or something like that.

Frenzy would be a great Avenger. Just having her walk into the room, all 6'11" of her, would make most foes think twice.

How can this be Earth's mightiest heroes without Nova, Photon, and Quasar? Make it happen, Marvel!

I think they abandoned that years ago when the Avengers were just the Kookie Quartet. Hardly "Earth's Mightiest," especially since the Scarlet Witch's powers hadn't fully developed and her hexes were highly unpredictable at the time. "Earth's Mightiest" makes for great marketing, though.

Haha... that's more like Arclight's powers than Frenzy's

Frenzy has that 'now a good gal, so she looks totally different' thing going on. In the Alliance of Evil, she was *at least* seven feet tall (she towered over Cyclops, who is six foot) and looked like Grace Jones. Now she's *maybe* six feet tall, and much more attractive. I'd split the difference and say that she's got a smidge of size-changing. Not like, Giant-Man, or anything, but more like Strong Guy/Guido Carosella, she takes hits and bulks up, converting the kinetic force into mass (much like how Pym particle users turns Pym particles into tissue, or hulks turn gamma energy into extra tissue). That way I can have my seven foot Frenzy, and my 'just tall' Frenzy. (Unlike Guido, she'd similarly shed that extra mass as she expends the energy she's taken in, so a prolonged fight where she manages to avoid getting hit might result in her shrinking back to her 'normal' six foot height.)

Plus it would be funny to see her tank a hit from Thor, land on her ass and say, "Wow, that hurt. My turn..." and get up, and up, and up, and now she's twelve feet tall...

Well... in-universe there's a potential explanation actually. some of Frenzy's early appearances she had someone amping her powers, you could just say a height increase was a side-effect.

Totally agree about Genny! TPTB should make it official (ASAP):

Danger

[Sutekh]

El Aguila
LightBright
Wind Warrior

You have the neatest lineup ideas! El Aguila could totally be a breakout if someone would just write him in some hard-hitting serious fare like has happened on occasion for other small-time minority characters like Red Wolf or American Eagle.

Wind Warrior intrigues me because she's supposed to tie to Tefnut, IIRC (and the other two to Geb and Shu, gods of earth and sky), who is more of a rain goddess than a wind goddess, from what I recall. (And there's no 'Earth Force' representative for the fourth god of their little subgroup, Geb's divine wife, Nuit, goddess of the night sky, who have some sort of flight / darkness generation powers, I'd imagine, which annoys my OCD, to only have heroes for three of the four!). Then again, I'd probably love Earth Force just a tad more if they were even a little bit Egyptian, and not like, random white people using our racial super-power of cultural appropriation...
