AVENGERS ACADEMY #1
Norman Osborn's Avengers Initiative program has been dismantled and replaced by theAvengersAcademy. It is run by a full staff consisting of former Avengers Hank Pym, Quicksilver, Tigra as well as former New Warriors Justice and Speedball. Each one has their own personal baggage that they need to address. However their past experiences would be able to guide the future Avengers cadets.
Hank Pym suffered with multiple mental breakdowns and kicked off the Avengers
Quicksilver has been a member of Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and the Avengers
Tigra got her ass kicked with the Hood
Justice accidently killed his father however paid his due
Speedball was responsible for the disaster atStamfordthat started Civil War
These cadets was originally selected by Norman Osborn for the Avengers Initiative.Each of these cadets also have their own emotional baggage much like the full staff atAvengersAcademy.
Finesse Most talented on the team however most likely to be a sociopath
Mettle Crimson Colossus with the head of the Red Skull
Hazmat Produce her deadly substances however forever stuck within her suit
Reptil Most likely to be killed first
Veil Become various forms of gas however will eventually lose cohesion
Striker Powers similar to Electro and most powerful on the team
Christos Gage has done an amazing work introducing new and existing characters into the Marvel Universe. The interaction between all the character's personality is astonishing and the issue is very fluid. Mike McKone art is fantastic and was one of the reasons I was (no pun intended) drawn to this issue. I still have his rare Superman issues. This is beginning to become one of my favorite titles during the Heroic Age.
