No, "Lacy Kimbro" here has nothing to do with the blind guy from early in his career. Sadly, I can't remember his name, and all google gets me when I look up "Luke Cage" and "Blind Guy" I just get Daredevil or Shades.

For a second, I thought Crossbones tried to choke Ghost, because he was whining about the food.

It's not, just that guy from earlier talking shit.

I can only assume Juggernaught asking about going to Antarctica when he sees the Flamethrower is a reference to The Thing.

I don't know why he was asking about a volcano, though.

Wisely, Parker decided that, since Luke has a mini he's in AND is a major player in Shadowland proper, this tie-in doesn't have him in it much.

Like the Crimson Dimension and all those other hell/pocket dimensions they keep shoving him into to get rid of him. Or that time Spider-Man buried him under a whole bunch of cement for weeks.

You forget some Karla's biggest contributions are through her intelligence, but yeah, she's basically one of the Strongest Thunderbolts, with probably only three people being stronger, two of which she was on the same team as.

To be fair, her powers are based on Klaw's, and Klaw's deal was always solid sound constructs.

Yeah, that's what I hate about it, makes no sense, like those bullshit "white sound" beams Cyborg likes to shoot.

I don't know about Faustus, but Zemo never struck me as a "racist".

That actually reminds me of the time someone tried attacking Busiek for being a Nazi supporter, using Thunderbolts as an example.
They were obsessed with "Lightning is a Nazi symbol" and "Zemo is a Nazi!".

This is why putting him on this team was a stupid idea. "He'll set an example to the others of what not to be" is terrible logic and doesn't compensate the fact that he's a racist psychopath.

So yeah, the current line-up of this team was Songbird (who we've all met), Atlas (the giant, who we've seen once, but that was written by Bendis, so ignore that entirely), Speed Demon (the speedster by Atlas's left knee), Radioactive Man (green guy by Atlas's right foot, who has super-strength, and can absord/project radiation), Joystick (left of Radioactive Man, powers include superhuman strength/speed/agility, ect), and Photon, also known as Genis-Vell (left of Atlas's head, powers are vaguely defined at this point)

I say his powers are vaguely defined because, since he's basically the strongest Thunderbolt on the team by far, his role tends to be "float out of the way, 'access the wavelength', do comic shit, and win."

Blizzard WAS in this team, but his suit was damaged and, since his powers were all in the suit, he's off until it gets fixed.
Mach-IV WAS the leader, until Melissa found out he was accepting money from Strucker, and basically kicked him out of his own team.

Speed Demon knows about the Prism because he was originally the fake Whizzer in Grandmaser's Squadron Sinister (it's how he got his powers), which also included a fake Dr. Spectrum with his own prism.

See, I don't get that. Bendis' New Avengers had many flaws but being "un-Avengers" wasn't one of them. Like I said, the roster has changed countless times, I had no problem with the roster Bendis chose (other than his hypocrisy about saying he didn't want obscure characters like Ant-Man only to put several obscure characters that he likes), just with how Bendis wrote it.

Oh yeah, and Pym's involved as well!

Like I said, it's a meta crack. Busiek didn't want Songbird to join the Avengers because it would have probably ended with her used as cannon fodder.

>>90310343
>But we're doing it anyway. BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT TOLD US TO
Seriously, this is stupid. What exactly does the government want here? For the Thunderbolts to kill the Avengers? Fot the Bolts to beat up the Avengers and then hope they've learned a lesson?
And Songbird goes along with it because she blames them for Hawkeye's death?

I don't care if it's a meta-crack, it's a stupid thing to say in-universe and it's a stupid thing for Songbird to say.

>>90310427
I really, really love it when writers put this kind of explicit dig at disliked events/writing into the book itself. It's so petty but so satisfying.

Sad thing is, even now, I can see that happening.

>>90310413
Come to think of it, was Pym a Skrull at this point?

>>90310483

This. Most recent example was probably Spencer making digs at the last couple of years of Zemo writing.

Also Spencer taking a dig at Bendis for having Tony blame Carol and Ulysses for Rhodey's death while completely forgetting that Thanos was the one actually responsible. Basically showing that Tony doesn't come out looking like a defender of civil rights but as a maniac control freak who is right for the wrong reasons.

Maybe. He was replaced at some point between the founding of the New Avengers and Civil War. Since this is during that time period, there's no telling.

Being able to predict them so easily is PROBABLY a bit too much, but I enjoy the jokes, so I'll allow it.

>>90310547
That was beautiful. The Ultra-Humanite calling Earth 2 "a joke" was clear too.

>>90310537
It's such a shame that Radioactive Man reverted to his mustache-twirling villain status.

>>90310580

I can actually see Spencer fixing some of the damage done to Carol in Secret Empire. Much like Zemo it seems like he is putting her through the wringer for a reason. He did well using her history in the Oath, too.

Admittedly, I don't pay much attention to the Big Two these days, but isn't Marvel pushing Songbird and the T-Bolts pretty hard these days? I doubt they'd kill off one of their (allegedly) most prominent characters atm

As much as I wish he would, Ewing isn't writing the main Avengers title, Waid is. And could you believe Bendis, Hickman, or Waid wouldn't kill her off?

>>90310620

Especially since he was just suddenly evil again and the stories that featured him were crap and used him poorly. If he hadn't been reset, he'd have been a great candidate for the AIMvengers.

Not Songbird in particular, but it seems like they're pushing the Thunderbolts.

Except the actual Thunderbolts book ended up being "The Winter Soldier: featuring these other guys".

>>90310687

The Marvel website proposed him, Graviton and Madame Masque as members of Zemo's new Masters of Evil, so maybe he'll pop up there.

>>90310687
Nope, even though he said a bunch of cryptic stuff about the "Qeng Dynasty" that implied he would be important in the plot.

Except, while Spencer's Carol is very much in favor for the Space Shield, the Carol in her own book is very much against it. There's only so much Carol can do if her own book is fighting against it.

Pretty much. Originally she was supposed to join the Avengers after AvT but they rewrote the ending when they heard of Disassembled. I would like to now what their plans for the Bolts were without Songbird.

So yeah, all of you wondering why the New Thunderbolts had to fight the New Avengers?

Yeah, Zemo's why. If you want to see where this goes, you'll have to read New Thunderbolts yourself.

Be sure to check the /co/ Catalogue later on today for the return of the Great X-Men Storytime. Tomorrow though, we'll be back to Parkerbolts, and we get an issue all about Ghost, and maybe more! See you Anons then.

At this point it is hard to guess. Rereading it, it really does seem like it is SBP, but it could be Cyborg. Cyborg has apparently been in Supergirl since Rebirth, and is seen on the covers for the crossover. At the same time, one of those covers has a REDACTED person looking over all of them

>>90311515

i want prime but double Cyborg Supes is hilarious. I don't see any evidence that Superman Revenge Squad Cyborg Supes is Zor-El tho

yes, its reprisented by glowing pink, yellow and blue energy and kirby crackles

and is less sound than it is "vibration energy" , since it works in space

that is the point of thunderbolts tho, that zemo was a nazi and the thunderbolts were secretly evil nazis, i mean the masters of evil is an old nazi team from way back in the day
