we know that hickman's team will have 18 members with old and new members
who wil be the new heroes that joins the team?

If I was a betting man, I think Hickman will return Crystal to the team with Ronan the Accuser.

I think he will also indroducing a couple brand new, never seen heroes as well. a new Swordsman perhaps?

as for people who have NEVER been on the Avengers? Heres a list of candidates that may make sense.

Human Torch II
Toro
Namora
Gorilla Man
Beta Ray Bill
Iceman
Angel
Lyra the Savage She-Hulk
Thundra
Shang-Chi (already announced)
Nick Fury (probably a lock)
Polaris
Shadowcat
Colossus

Hopefully we will not see any more Red Hulk, Red She-Hulk, X-23, Spider-Girl or A-Bomb. I hate rip off characters for the most part.

Who would I like to see return to the fold?
Starfox (c'mon...Thanos is back baby!)
US Agent
Hercules
Black Knight
Monica Rambeau
D-Man (yes...D-Man)
Wonder Man
Falcon
Moon Knight
Wasp (resurrect her already!)
She-Hulk
Madame Web
Ant-Man II

I'd just like to be suprised. I respect Hickman a great deal and greatly admired his work on Secret Warriors and Fantastic 4 but its been a very long time since Marvel did anything that made me raise an eyebrow so heres hoping.

I'd like to see a team that makes sense most of all rather than just cramming the most common heroes together or the heroes which are the best in their particular fields.

Er...can you explain how She-Hulk is less of a ripoff character than Spider-girl? Heck, at least she has a more unique origin and isn't just Hulk with boobs. Heck, even Ms. Marvel is a female version of the original Captain Marvel that even got her powers from him.

not to mention Lyra is a crappy She-Hulk knock-off with reverse "hulk-out" powers. definitely the lamest of the hulk kids.

Actually I think A0bomb has potential as an Avenger if they put the right spin on it. It is a common sidekick to Avengers over the years (Rick Jones) finally getting his chance at the big leagues and proving himself as a superhero. Sadly no one ever put that spin on him,b ut if you do he would work just fine. A sidekick of Captain America, Hulk, and Captain Marvel becoming a big league hero in his own right.




the ones I want to see return are...

Justice
Living Lightning
Firebird
Black Knight
Hercules
She Hulk
possibly Star Fox depending on how they handle him (I think Starfox and Herc could make cool drinking buddies).
possibly Wonder Man depending on how they handle him.

I think the Illuminati was wrong to send Hulk off. They should have just given him a vasectomy.

18 Avengers, old and new? More new Avengers? The Avengers mutating into a large group of X-Men? Mutating into an army of One-Day-Avengers like Darkhawk, Nova, Sandman, Dr. Voodoo and all the others??? Take every single hero who is an Avenger yet and show us that he or she is worth being an Avenger!!!

welp...I DID say 'for the most part' = )

Wow 18? No idea... but I'd like to see a team with a little classic, and little new, and some Initiative members and other junior members...something like this

Captain America
Iron Man
Giant-Man
Vision
Black Panther
Monica Rambeau
Hawkeye

Spider-woman
Doctor Strange
Shang-Chi
Gauntlet
Red She-Hulk

Amadeus Cho
Komodo
Cloud 9
Gravity
Firestar
Silverclaw

Amen.
