Welcome nerds to another video from Top 10 nerd, Im your host Johnny Rogers and today
Ill be taking the torch from Roya to bring you the Top 10 Alternate Versions of The Avengers
Part 2.
Lets go!
Surfing in at #10 West Coast Avengers
The West Coast Avengers are made up of Tigra, Wonder Man, and James Rhodey Rhodes lead by
veteran Avenger Hawkeye along with his wife Mockingbird.
The team also offered a spot to Hank Pym but he declined originally to work as the teams
scientist and tech support.
He would later join the team with Moon Knight after their first mission.
James Rhodes also took on the role of Iron Man for the team which most of them believed
to by Tony.
The west coast avengers were the first of the alternate versions of the Avengers and
debuted in West Coast Avengers #1 written by Roger Stern.
They were formed because most of the original team were kidnapped and with the threat of
an invasion to Earth by Dire Wraiths Vision declared himself the chairman convincing the
government to establish the new team.
#9 Young Avengers This team of young ragtag superheroes came
from Iron Lad travelling from the future to flee from Kang the Conqueror.
When he arrives at Stark Industries he uploads Visions AI to his iron man suit which triggers
the Avengers Fail-Safe program.
The fail-safe program was a way of recruiting descendants of the Avengers if the original
team were disbanded.
This came to fruition after the events of Avengers Disassembled where the original team
was split up due to key members being killed or exiled.
The Young Avengers team consists of Eli Bradley the patriot, Billy Kaplan also known as Wiccan
and Teddy Altman aka Hulking.
Which sounds like something the Hulk does when transforming.
Hey whats he doing?
Oh he just hulking.
The team became the Young Avengers when they invited Cassie Lang and Kate Bishop to join
the ranks
#8 Mighty Avengers This team may be mighty but has had leadership
issues to boot.
It began with Iron Man forming the team under the governments 50 State Initiative.
He chose Carol Danvers aka Ms. Marvel to lead the team and in her corner she had Ares, Black
Widow, the sentry, the wasp and Wonder Man.
Unfortunately due to a Skrull invasion Tony was blamed for failing to stop it and was
soon replaced by Norman Osborn.
Under new management he decides to create his own team causing a majority of the originals
to quit.
Then Hank Pym had his turn organizing an international team when he donned the Wasp outfit in memory
of his deceased wife.
After Hank Luke Cage created another new team to combat the Thanos invasion of Earth.
Because the main team were hanging out in space.
Nothing beats the original Might Avengers though - I mean just look at them
#7 Avengers Resistance United in a fight against Norman Osborne this
resistance team is formed by Tigra and Gauntlet.
After Norman took over the Avengers he wanted to essentially steal Tigras baby which was
half-skrull for research into anti-skrull weaponry.
He also demotes the Gauntlet around the same time which causes the pair to escape and become
fugitives.
While being chased down by Osborns villainous team the pair are rescued by the New Warriors.
Tigra announces that with their new found teammates Rage and Justice they are now comprised
of enough former Avengers to create the Avengers Resistance.
#6 Secret Avengers This team looks so damn cool and is probably
one of my favorites because of the varitey of members and their covert style.
They remind me of a comic book version of Seal Team Six - because of the way that the
team operates.
They were handpicked by Captain America to protect the worlds security as a sub team
of the Avengers.
This black ops squad consists of Sharon Carter, Black Widow, Moon Knight, Ant-Man, Beast,
War Machine, Valkyrie and Nova.
That is a stellar line-up of heroes, with espionage experts like Carter, Widow, Moon
Knight and Ant-Man combined with the muscle of War Machine, Valkyrie and Nova.
This team is an unstoppable force that can take out problems with silent precision.
#5 Avengers Unity Division This team made their very first appearance
in the Uncanny Avengers which is a perfect start for this uncanny team of heroes.
The team began with Captain America and Thor approaching Havok to enlist the help of the
Scarlet Witch, Rogue, Wolverine, Wasp, Sunfire and Wonder Man.
Unity Division explains the team perfectly after the war between the Avengers and the
X-Men made Cap feel guilty for not doing enough to assist the mutants.
He dreamed of helping improve the relationships between humans and mutants.
To lead the team he chose Cyclops, Havoks brother to rep the mutants much like his brother
did with the X-Men.
The team however didnt come into full form until issue number 5 of Uncanny Avengers where
they made their public debut.
#4 Astonishing Avengers This team is especially cool because its made
up of villains and begins with a powerful quote by Magneto where he said - Right now,
the world doesnt need heroes.
It needs villains.
Magneto pulls together a team made up of Deadpool, Absorbing Man, Carnage, Doctor Doom, Enchantress,
Hobgoblin, Jack O Lantern, Loki, Mystique and Sabretooth.
The team was created under an unknown alias to combat the Red Skull attack which Doom
and Scarlet Witch cast a spell over to change Red Skulls personality to defeat him.
This however not only changed Red Skull but the rest of the team as well.
With Captain America watching the change happen he decided to recruit Magnetos team with the
help of Nova and Spider-Man.
Thus naming the team the Astonishing Avengers.
While in battle carnage sacrificed himself which altered the team back to their normal
state.
#3 Avengers Idea Mechanics Or AIM for short.
The team consisted of former X-Men member Sunspot who joined at Caps request in order
to help people without being labelled an X-Man.
Although when Captain America decides to take on the Illuminati Sunspot leaves to take over
a terrorist organization known as Advanced Idea Mechanics.
After a successful take over he soon used their resources and rebranded as Avengers
Idea Mechanics.
Sunspot then created a team of new avengers with some of his former teammates who also
left after Cap went Illuminati crazy.
The team however was under close watch from SHIELD which implanted many spies to make
sure they didnt revert to AIMs terrorist past.
#2 One Million BC Avengers This team was formed in a prehistoric time
period to fight off ancient celestials.
These ancient avengers were led by Odin and backed up by Iron Fist, the Starbrand, Ghost
Rider who actually rode a mammoth, Black Panther, The Phoenix and a character who is very similar
to Doctor Strange known as Agamotto.
Ghost Rider Mammoth has to be my favorite member by far.
#1 Judgement League Avengers This is our number one spot because to us
its the ultimate alternate version of the avengers.
Comprised of you guessed it The Justice League and The Avengers - this Marvel DC clash is
just too cool.
Their team was made up of Super Soldier - a captain america superman combo, Dark Claw
- a wolverine batman combo, Captain Marvel - a captain mar-vell mixed with shazam, hawkeye
- a green arrow hawkeye mix, and Amazon - a Wonder Woman and Storm combination.
These combos made seem a little silly, but they are by far my absolute favorite team
of Avengers.
And that has been the Top 10 Alternate Versions Of The Avengers Part 2.
