You make that comment about the Whackos like they were second stringers. OK, so Tigra and Mockingbird were weak, but Wonder Man and Iron Man could each take just about everybody.
However, I’m not sure anyone can take out Reed Richards if he has any time to prepare. He’ll just make a world-dominating gadget and stick it on his belt.
You're right. The tone was certainly disparaging and shouldn't have been. Hawkeye was a great team leader, too.
I still have the original four limited issues where the West Coast Avengers were formed.
They must be worth ... $3 a piece by now!
