>It's a Wrecking Crew are generic disposable bad guys

>>92002614
they were actually quite nicely written in that cancelled Solo ongoing from last year

Yeah, for some reason despite all of their random appearances just to be punching bags for other characters in the past decade or so, this one feels like the last straw to me. Why the hell are they in Kyoto? Did the Wrecking Crew just decide, hey maybe we shouldn't keep trying to pull stuff off in NYC, so let's go all the way to fucking Kyoto? I'm wondering if this book is going to bother explaining why they were there, or if it's just going to have Jean casually curbstomp them and then move on with her business without it being addressed at all.

That was a rhetorical question. It'll obviously be the latter.

The Wrecking Crew have always been jobbers.

It's totally within Jean's capacity to rek these boyos too.

The real question is, why isn't Jean wearing a Kimono?

>>92003332
Thunderball was also quite nicely written as an individual character in last year's Illuminati book (also cancelled), where he was away from the rest of the Wrecking Crew. The writer even remembered that Thunderball is actually smart and not just some dumb thug wearing a gangsta wool hat.
Of course, once that was over he went back to being generic punchable bad guy of the week #2/4.

>>92003551
a lot of the recent stealth mini's from marvel have been great for minor or under developed characters like Carnage or GLA. Shame they keep getting cancelled in favour of synergy shit books

>The Wrecking Crew have always been jobbers.
Not in the old days. Even though they would usually get defeated, it's the fate of all comic book villains, they would at least put up a fight, it would often take more than one issue to beat them. Remember, they started out as Thor villains and they actually gave him a hard time. They also got some wins under their belt.
These days, it usually just takes the heroes (or hero) a couple of pages, or worse, they just have the fight be mostly off-screen and they're just shown already defeated.

>they started out as Thor villains and they actually gave him a hard time.
That's probably the saddest part. They are on Asgardian power level and yet they are treated like some random mooks.

The only thing I've read that has had the Wrecking Crew was Lionheart of Avalon, and even then, wasn't Wrecking Ball possessed by some knight spirit in it?

These guys should be powerful enough to not be random mooks for every hero out there.

They are all in the Thing-tier of strength so they should at least be high level mooks. Someone for Hulk, Namor, or Carol to throw down with. Random mutants should have some insane trouble with them.

>>92003841
They are average Asgardian power level when one of them are channeling the power. But only 1/4 of that when it is shared. The Wrecker himself would still be 40 tons class while the rest of the crew would only be 10 tons class. They are basically a downgraded Luke Cage with exception to Wrecker

>>92004022
Jean Grey is a omega level mutant so no.

>>92004022
>They are all in the Thing-tier of strength
They wish they were a legit class 100 in strength.

funnily enough they didnt job in Earth's mightiest heroes. Almost gave Thor a deserved run for his money there.

Another reason to love this show.

>>92003749
Thor is usually a jobber of epic proportions too so, your point?
Daily reminder that un-Phoenix'd Rach mindfucked Thor and no-sold a direct blow from Mjolnir.
Powerlevelwise, she's at least on par with "Jean" (although Teen Jean has wildly inconsistent displays of proficiency with her powers, so who really knows how strong she is?).
I find Tean Jean's defeat of these guys entirely reasonable.

I would not mind if those guys do get some kind of modern update. They are still wearing the old silver age purple and green.

Maybe increase their power some and give their stuff more of a mystic weapons of the gods feel to it. Make them into a magic based threat that is hard for the standard hero to do a lot about.

I remember a 90s Spider-Man book where the Wrecking Crew got some power-armor type upgrade from... idk maybe Smyte?
It only lasted a couple of issues, but I remember loving their design back then. I'm sure they look ridiculous in hindsight though.

Can't find it for shit though, can anyone help?

>>92004102
Current Jean is not, and hasn't been for several years now

>>92004131
I remember them being a fairly challenging encounter in MUA, but that was years ago.

>>92003506
Cultural appropriation.

They need to hang with Absorbing Man, he always seemed like the long lost wrecking crew member anyway. In that same, dumb guy from Jersey got an Asgardian power boost out of nowhere.

And give all of them mystical Asgardian demolition equipment that fucks up things like technology.

>>92004190
She is. Regardless of her not using too much force anymore.

>>92004190
Let's see that source.
Jean, even without the Benis Force was still Omega, why would Teen Jean be any different? Especially considering how Teen Jean started dominating minds years before her original counterpart.
Also, Teen Jean shutdown Psylocke, an Omega telepath's mind reading.
Prove that Teen Jean isn't Omega, I'll wait.

Their biggest achievement is probably that time they overthrew Arkon and took over the entire Dimension of Polemachus in Busiek's Avengers run.

Nice destroyed dimension you got there..

Too bad. It overrides the past, same goes for the axe that kills celestials.

Omega means they cannot die because they are pure energy. Jean is not that

>>92004969
>>92005015


Nope. Omega is omega.

If marvel wants to retcon thor into being weaker they can.

They been doing stuff like this since the 90s.

>>92005015
Omega means undefined potential. Immortality have nothing to do with it.

>>92003618

its a stealth mini or its cancelled.
they're not both.

stealth mini is its a mini that they never announce as a mini (unworthy thor, vote loki, bullseye)
cancelled is everything else they do.

>>92002614
Remember Ultimate Alliance? they were fucking tough to defeat in normal dificultry, even with all heroes maxed out. Only time they were tough

also that time in secret wars they were kinda cool

>>92005015
Fuck off, casual.

That's just Vulcan's interpretation. And Vulcan is a delusional whiny cunt.

Omega existed long before Vulcan was invented.
Has fuck all to do with immortality, it just tends to go with the territory.

>>92005175

I did always think it was pretty bullshit that Hawkeye pierced Piledriver's skin with a normal arrow made out of wood (he ran out of trick arrows), badass as it was.

>>92002614
Is there anyone the Wrecking Crew HASN'T fought?

There's samefagging and there's conversing with multiple people with similar responses. Learn the difference. Save a life.

>>92005110
Unworthy Thor, Vote Loki and Bullseye were all announced as minis.

>>92004210
You're not wrong, they were a pain in the ass to beat.
