After reading issue #1 of the new Avengers ongoing today, I'm wondering who the final member of the team is. Just before Kang appears to warn the Avengers, Tony Stark asks if 'This is everybody?', with Steve Rogers replying that it isn't and then'I thought he'd show'.
Now earlier in the issue Steve Rogers had gone to recruit Wonder Man (Simon Williams) with litlle success, as the former Avenger told him that all the recent problems in their universe occured because of some instance of the Avengers trying to reform. Steve left hoping that Simon would change his mind, and Wonder Man noted that if Steve didn't change his own view, Wonder Man would. Now with the preview of next issue showing an image of Wonder Man attacking the newly formed team, the theory that he will join them seems less likely, but who really knows?
And if it isn't Wonder Man, could it be Iron Fist? I know I'm hoping it is. Any compelling evidence? Iron Fist's appearance in the two page spread showing many other members of new Avengers affiliated teams (New Avengers, Secret Avengers and Avengers Academy), and the Avenger's children. One of the boys is of African American decent (and with Danny Rand and Misty Knight expecting a child...), and he seems to be in a fighter's stance. If he isn't an Avenger, I can only imagine him as a New Avenger (since he's already appeared on the solicit cover for issue #3 of New Avengers).
Oh yeh, bought two more Immortal Iron Fist back issues today. Ka-ching.
NEWS FLASH BUT NOT REALLY
I just discovered after reading CBR's review of Avengers #1, that the Avenger's children or 'Next Avengers' have been in their own direct to DVD animated movie. Checking the Wikipedia page for the film, I discovered that the child I was hoping was the son of Iron Fist and Misty Knight is actually the son of Storm and the Black Panther. Oh well, there's still a chance Iron Fist will be a New Avenger. Fingers are still crossed.
