    Well enough that he should be able to go a few rounds, as he's done in the past. And even if he's *not* a match for the new, improved Hulk, he's smart enough and fast enough to get the hell out the way once he realizes it.

    But Simon also suffers from Worf syndrome; he gets jobbed whenever they need to show how serious a given threat is.

    He's not powerful enough to beat the Hulk, but few people could take a beating as well as him.

    As far as the class 100 guys go, I've always thought Simon was on somewhat of the lower end of the spectrum in terms of raw strength... but I've also always thought he was one of the more durable ones.

    I really hope Marvel has the good sense to do another Avengers series whether it be Uncanny, West Coast or whatever and includes Simon in it.

    I'd be shocked if they didn't.

    A second Avengers book, even a satellite book, would sell better than a good half the books in the marvel line at the moment. And they know that. I think having the main Avengers book be the ONLY title for a short period of time is understandable... it gives the main book a bit more importance. But I think leaving it that way indefinitely is effectively leaving money on the table.

    A long time ago, before Simon was in the class 100, he was still up there with Thor and Hercules.

    Then, sometime 2000 or so, didn't Simon get a strength boost? I thought that put him slightly above Thor and Her. But I could be wrong.

    Just where would Simon fall in a list of Class 100?

    I think you are right. Even Bendis kept this boost when he got Simon to easily beat Red Hulk when he had recently beaten Thor and green Hulk. Simon's was best when he wore the cowl with the red goggles, looked like a true powerhouse. Also that pacifist storyline needs to be wrapped and get him back 100% fighter mode.

    In a way at least it gives him a unique aspect about him that makes him stand out.

    I'd totally buy one with any variation on the black/red theme.

    No "Wonder" we are friends, lol! I loved Simon when he re-emerged in the Avengers wearing his original outfit! It just said "pure power" and Simon really looked his strongest in it!

    By the way, I love your 2 figures! I think you may have modified the first one, the original costume, but it looks great! You are very talented!

    To me that costume is middle of the road. Not my favorite one, but it beats the red safari jacket.
