Marvel Announces "AVENGERS VS. X-MEN" for 2012

[brooms]

On a story level, the focus of 2009's X-Men "Second Coming" crossover, Hope Summers, will once again be the center of attention in "Avengers Vs. X-Men," as the presumed host for the returning Phoenix Force. In fact, it's the threat of the returning Phoenix Force that will instigate the conflict in the first place, Alonso says. "The Phoenix Force is the spirit of destruction and rebirth. It razes worlds to create something new. It's bad news if you happen to be living on the world about to be razed. It's great news if you're what's going to be the outcome of that world."

Also taking center stage is the Scarlet Witch, who, in many ways, instigated this conflict years ago when she used her reality-altering powers to all but erase mutantkind from the planet. Bendis, who scripts her story in the series' prologue issue, told the newspaper,"She's been on a road of almost impossible-to-perceive redemption over the last few years and now is going to come face-to-face with the Avengers."

Two questions:

1) Which side are Beast, Wolverine, and Quicksilver going to be on?
2) Do the Avengers have any psychics or teleporters on their team?

Bonus Question: Why doesn't spell check know what a teleporter is?

[sherkahn]

What side is Namor on?

[nyadnar17]

Figured he would be X-men. Namor has never been an avenger has he?

[kenn_el]

Yes he has! He was an Avenger during the storyline where Marrina was killed.

[sherkahn]

Yes, he was. Late 70's - 90's.

Let me see I can find it.


that's not it.


Nope. But it is nice to see Namor reaching for Thor's Hammer.


Not it either.



There we go.

Ah, that legendary Avengers period where the only job they could get was as pest control, nobody got any sleep and looked TERRIBLE for it, and Wanda hurt her leg after convincing Solomon Grundy to take a brief holiday in the MU as her manservant and boytoy.

What a summer.

[nezchan]

Namor's side.

[auggie18]

The Avengers have no telepaths. This should take, like, fifteen seconds.

I think Wiccan is technically a teleporter but I'm not sure if he's still an Avenger

[captainbellman]

I suppose Quicksilver could conceivably just be on both sides. And technically Beast is an X-Men and a Secret Avenger, so he could only help the Avengers...secretly. As for Logan...who cares?

[northstarfan]

And isn't Storm about to join the Avengers?

[bruinsfan]

2) Do the Avengers have any psychics or teleporters on their team?

If Dr. Strange is still a member when this happens they have both. Depending on who's writing, he might be more powerful than the entire opposing team or dependent upon card tricks to confuse his foes.

Moondragon and Quasar? Although they were in space and had some complicated continuity going on last time I checked.
