This arc makes me want an Invaders/Thunderbolts ongoing. I hate it.
Parker - Thunderbolts Pt. 5
Prior threads below.
Hot.
I wonder how Ultimate Cap would feel about the Thunderbolts. And when I say Ultimate Cap I mean Millar's/Aaron version. Other interpretations are basically just copies of 616 Cap.
I had no idea she was that durable, but then again if I remember she was a Hulk villain at one point. Is it increased physiology as a result of the moonstone or is it a form of psychic shield similar to her intagability.
>Flight
>Intangibility
>Durable?
>Strong
>Laser Blasts
>Clinical psychologist background.
>Rockin bod.
Am I missing anything?
>Two things.
1. Good on you Karla
2. Centuries should totally swab Karla's mouth for some Captain America DNA.
More like the Blunderbolts, am I right?
This is an amazing page to end on.
Glorious
Issues like this were why Shalvey's contributions to this run were amazing.
I'm going to look up more stuff by Jeff Parker. Dude is on fucking fire. If I remember correctly he wrote some X-Men comics that I'd love to give a look.
Fucking hell!?!?!!?!?
Such a gorgeous page.
Oh fuck no. Save yourself lad!
Parker is a fucking top tier writer. He is consistently dipping into the marvel catalog and at no point does it ever feel needlessly forced. So many other writers would play this with a wink to the audience and at no point does Parker ever do that.
I was reading through old Avenger's issues and got to the point where they crossed over with I think it was the Defenders? Whichever group Strange was in that the Black Knight was a part of. Anyway, the Black Knight was being pushed as Marvel's Hot New Hero, which was pretty funny to see decades on.
I got so interested in these that after part 2 I went ahead and read to Dark Avengers (177)
godspeed OP
>Five Routes
1. Heroes who are secretly villains.
>Classic Thunderbolts
2. Villains whom are presented as heroes.
>Ellis-Gage Thunderbolts
3. Villains treated as a black ops squad.
>Diggle,Parker, and Way Thunderbolts
4. Convicts doing superhero service work.
>Parker Thunderbolts
5. Villains on the Run
>Zub Thunderbolts
Going to go with route 3 so I can form a "harder" lineup than I normally would.
>Field Leader
Ares. I'm going God of War on this one. He was given a fleeting chance with his "Shades" squad and he turned them into fucking heroes that earned a warriors death. I can only imagine him given a black ops team made to do the dirtiest work that S.H.I.E.L.D. can't be bothered to do.
>Field Unit 1
Moon Knight. He is the perfect adaptable soldier that we can basically send in for any task and basically assume success. Also he has a track record for punching above his weight class so he is a goddamn beast.
>Field Unit 2
Scarlet Spider. I know that Kaine tried his hardest to be a true hero, but let's be perfectly honest on this issue. Kaine is a monster. A straight up warrior. He has a moral schema that far surpasses anything Peter has dealt with and because of it we can actually ask this "Spider-Man" to do what is necessary and not have to worry about a weakling willing to let the world burn for the sake of "staying true" to their morals..
>Heavy Hitter
Scarlet Witch. I feel like if we're looking for a character that believes in redemption, Scarlet Witch would be perfect for the position. Also she is one of the few heroes that can stand toe to toe with some of the bigger beast heroes like Hyperion (albeit with effort). Her reality warping makes her a perpetual wildcard that would be essential for the shitty missions the Thunderbolts will inevitably be assigned.
>Support
Diablo. This isn't someone I would normally choose but the more I research him the more variable he appears to me. There is so much potential with the character that it's baffling he's not used more. If he's dead please don't tell me. I'd like to think he's doing great.
It must be pointed out, Johann and Heinrich hate each other.
Another team lineup. Not going to assign roles and just pick people I like for a hero team/"dirty" team.
>Team Leader
Daredevil. He initially operates in the shadoes but eventually his involvement is made public. I love the idea of his catholic upbringing affecting how he builds his team.
>Team Members
Taskmaster. As long as he's paid well, we can count on him. Also he does get attached to his teammates so count on that.
Absorbing Man. He's someone confident in his position, yet opportunistic and if given the opportunity to go "pro" he'd go for it.
Shadow King. He's going to be given a "halo" to inhibit his mutant powers but assuming he's not completely insane he'd play ball, even if just for a bit.
Speed Demon. He'd do what he could to prove himself. That will be beneficial.
Sin Eater. He's operating off a sense of "justice". He's a zealot out of his mind, but could possibly be aimed in a different direction. With enough time, we could make our own Punisher.
Lady Octopus. Genius, check. Adaptable fighter capable of going one on one with Spider-Man and winning, check. Hottie, check. Check, check, check.
I've been drinking and know this is an insane line up. Love to here different suggestion. You guys tend to have awesome thoughts on these sort of things.
Well, Ult Cap is basically a grouchier John Walker. I imagine he'd have mixed feelings about them until he found out who their founder and team leader is.
This may be the last issue for the night. I'll see how I feel at the end of this.
Another team. Going for something condensed this time.
Abomination
Kraven
Arcade
Superia
Lady Bullseye
One more try!
Songbird
>Finally she's team leader.
The Beetle
>He's still a hero, just redeeming the name).
The Spot
>Let's give this boy a chance.
Trickshot (Barney Barton)
>He's gonna shatter expectations.
Emma Frost
>She's gonna keep the team level.
Red She-Hulk (Betty Ross/Banner)
>Betty's back in the saddle. The mystery is unsolved.
Do you think Cap would reject a jackass like Pym or would he be open to the idea of redemption and them leading a team?
I love the way Walker drew this forest, feels like I'm watching Walking With Dinosaurs again.
Ult Pym? Nay No Never, as the song goes. 616? Ennhhh, depends on how many retcons are involved in regards to that dark time in Hank's life. If its the Hank that was well in control of his mental faculties when he decided to sic a Killbot on the Avengers and clocked Jan, leaving her a bruise, it's unlikely.
We add in the various mental instabilities and the downright insulting implication that Janet was manipulating him from later stories, maybe.
Imperius DICK
Everything that's happened has been building towards this and I absolutely love it!!!!
I'm going to be heading to bed meow. Drank a bit too much and need to make sure I'm not sloppy for work tomorrow. As I mentioned in the prior thread, include small to medium sized threads that you would like me to post. I can't promise anything, but I can take it all into serious consideration.
Thanks for doing this OP
I'm a bit happy that Juggernaut wasn't around during all the time travel thing, I'm pretty sure he visited Camelot with the New Excalibur, would have been redundant.
Thanks for another nice storytime, OP!
My man! I am so glad you enjoyed!
>One thing I wished for is that US Agent took a larger role. Thank god he eventually gets his due (ish).
>Thanks for another nice storytime, OP!
Thank you amazing Yea Forumsmrade!
It'd be nice yeah it was good he got what he could in mighty avengers though this is a great role for him to have. Though I do love the luke cage in this its a great bit of character growth for him. and Dat satana? unf
Agh, Troll is cute AND sexy
that's easily my favourite Satana alt-outfit
>hyde and Namor
Satana has poor taste
She isn't fucking Hyde, her "succubus" are fucking him.

Thanks
>sex spell

Bump from a university conference! About to sit through 30 minutes of designated clapping. Thank god for T-Bolts
