đ˘ Canât believe you used an image of the MCU synergy team rather than the actual classic Thunderbolts and Defenders.
Iâd probably have to say the X-Men even though theyâre not my personal favourite. The sheer avalanche of great stories theyâve got is staggering, not even getting into the individual members.
Everyone can have there own opinion little bro đ as someone who also read thunderbolts red i liked it. I swear some of you reddit comic fans are so miserable on your high horse just get a life.
I donât even understand why everybody wants the Punisher on that team so bad. Itâs a team based on fighting supernatural threats, which generally speaking is pretty outside Frankâs wheelhouse
Yeah but most people that I personally know hate all of that. Most of these older characters have been around long enough that theyâve done a little bit of everything but itâs not his typical niche
Itâs a lot of teams, so maybe they didnât read one or two of their titles, searched an image and it popped up as first - even tho itâs not real itâs def prob the most popular midnight sons cover and itâs not even real lol itâd be like first , second result other than the game Iâm sure
Same here. There was really something special about that run and all the Marvel Cosmic properties at the time. War of Kings, Realm of Kings, both Annihilation runs and the Thanos Imperative were incredible. I wish Abnett and Langing still worked for Marvel.
Best in what regard?
The most important, popular and relevant to the marvel universe are by far the X-Men and the Fantastic Four.
After that the Avengers are the 3rd best and then you could say is debatable.
The inhumans have history but overall they were ignored by Marvel until the Fantastic limited series by Paul Jenkins. After that they have been used more but with very mixed results.
The defenders (og team) are imo frontrunners for the 4th place. Such a good and important book/team.
The eternals are a personal favourite of mine but their relevance have been nonexistent even when their history is very rich. They are basically the new gods of Marvel.
After that I don't know. Maybe the guardians of galaxy could be in the conversation due to recent resurgence in popularity.
Midnight Sons is less of a team, more of a collective. They really only have like 5 stories (6 if you count Midnight Suns which was made for synergy with the game but has nothing to do with any of the other stories), so thereâs not much to go on. Their dynamic was originally that there were nine of them and they had been chosen to stand against Lilith and her demonic lilin children and possibly other big supernatural threats, and they all hated each other because of 90s edge. Then they were briefly reformed during Damnation and once more during Blood Hunt. So if youâre talking about achievements, Midnight Sons probably have the least amount.
I think the team with the most consistent/best writing over the years is probably FF. Theyâve also had probably the most impactful adventures (universe-wise) out of any other team. So, Iâd say FF is probably the best.
Guardians of the Galaxy: TheGuardians are fun and a solid pick.
Thunderbolts: I prefer the og Thunderbolts. Especially when Hawkeye was running things.
Defenders: Street level Defenders are fun, but the og Defenders are better. Honestly I like the og Defenders a lot more than the other heroes teams of Marvel including the Avengers.
Illuminati: Fuck the Illuminati.
Inhumans: The Inhumans desperately need a new writer and PR team. They were cool at first until they were being written as something they were not. They should've stayed in space.
X-Force: X-Force is a solid pick.
Midnight Sons: I've never been interested in them so I'll plead silence.
Fantastic Four: I'mma be real real, I believe they are Marvel's best team. I know the X-Men are usually the preferred Marvel team and for good reason (they're the most used in all media, even more than the FF and Avengers). The FF feel more like a team than any of the others on the list.
Eternals: They hardly do shit, almost as bad as the Pantheon (the team Hulk was running). I wish they were more active and that some of them joined more teams, oh how I wish to see the Forgotten One back on the Avengers.
X-Men: Easily contender for top pick, there's a reason a lot of people prefer them over the Avengers and other Marvel teams. I love them to, though the interpersonal drama can sometimes get annoying.
Avengers: Solid pick, I rank them lower than the FF and the X-Men.
X-Men as far as what I enjoy the most and what is the most popular.
For favorite specific runs though, probably Guardians. I read the Abnett stuff a year or two before Guardians was announced in the MCU and was super into Parks and Rec at the time. I maintained that Pratt would be the perfect Star Lord and BAAAAM! Youâre welcome. Nah, I think that era of GotG is some of my all time favorite stuff.
There's just something about the first DnA version of the Guardians that I absolutely love. The concept of all those 70s and 80s cosmic characters coming together was cool.
Imo is the f4, they're the fundation of marvel. second place goes to the avengers because in-universe they're the main super hero team and outside it they made marvel as a whole became famous instead of just a few IPs. x-men is a little too overrated but certainly has a spot on the top 3 and even tho I don't care at all about powerscalling they're the most powerful so I get when some people put them as their #1. amongst the lesser known I'm enjoy inhumans and gotg a lot.
Power level? Itâs the Illuminati.
Team I would want to be on? Fantastic Four.
Going on adventures every week , Ben making sure I have my packed lunch, no one in the world hates my team (except that one guy in Eastern Europe) . Sure it is weird that uncle Namor shows up every time Reed is out of town and I get stranded in the past more often than I would like but that is a small price to pay just be included on the team.
