Wonder Man Appreciation

[Herowatcher]

Simon Williams has had a long career with the Avengers since the beginning of the team's existence.

After his father passed Simon became CEO of Williams Innovations. Unable to compete with similar rival firms such as
Starks Industries, Simon made the mistake of embezzling his company's money. This "wrong turn" in his life lead Simon
to an encounter with Amora The Enchantress and the Masters of Evil. Mislead by this villainous team, Simon agreed to
Baron Zemo's ionic ray experiment to gain super human strength. However, Simon discovered the Master of Evil's true
plans involved killing the Avengers and he quickly turned on them. This selfless act started Simon on his heroic path
alongside the Avengers as the ionic powerhouse known as....

Wonder Man!

What period of Wonder Man's time with the Avengers is your favorite?

I thought Wondy was at his best in this period of the Avengers.

I think of this as The Shooter/Micheline era. I thought Simon got some really interesting character development during that period.

my favorite moment is probably when he stood up to Krovac in Avengers 177 ( I think).

[Herowatcher]

This was probably my favorite era for Wonder Man...when he was learning how much of a hero he really was.

This was probably my favorite era for Wonder Man...when he was learning how much of a hero he really was.

This would be my favorite also.

No argument there!! That's probably my favorite period for the Avengers. I missed that issue though & didn't buy it until around 2002. That's a fun issue!! Shooter did great action!

I was really into the character for awhile. Never felt they showed his full potential back then. He was always worried about dying or letting his teammates down. He should have been on par with the elite guys with regards to strength but they didn't always show that. Here are two of my favorites from back then.

I always found this Avengers Forever costume variant interesting:

[Ken Ashcroft]

That looks great. Wonderman looks like a proper powerhouse here but the Vision still does well to be able to stand up to him and even hurting him.

Who drew this? Looks like Perez or maybe one of the Buscema brothers?

Magnificent art by John Byrne IMO

wonderman and the beast in night of the crawlers was great, i always loved their interaction

[maklelin highbain]

really hoping to see nathan fillian play him onscreen in the MCU, marvel's most underated hero needs screen time

[Phoenixx9]

Simon always seemed to me to look his strongest and most muscley-ist during this time and with this costume and his original!
