I liked this quite a bit. I liked the retro story about the Avenger X and how it was set up to show in the modern world (though, after all the buildup, resolving it in a single issue was a tad underwhelming). I also like how Victor didn't just save the day alone, but it required real teamwork with Nadia, which is thematically appropriate for the current Doom, too.

Ah, too bad we didn't get to see that teamwork part between the two.

Doom should dedicate his heroic career to showing up and dissing any supervillain who announces they now have the power of a god.

Someone is really going to have to warn Nadia that "Hey, it looks like your father is alive, but we're pretty sure he's actually a meat puppet controlled by your evil robot brother", because the poor girl is starved for paternal attention.

So in order for the new heroes to look good the established heroes are made to look like clowns. Especially Spider Man.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

I think it's been that way for decades.

"The Stunticons will run you off the road, Autobots!"

"No need to fear, the Aerialbots are here!"

After a few bits of that, then they fall in line with the rest and conform to falling for the same stuff.

[katefan]

That...sounds depressingly accurate.

Made to look too compassionate for their own good, maybe. Luckily, that's how I like my Spidey!

So how did Doomy take her down? I mean, obviously, it was badass somehow, but I really want to know what it was.

[doctor_spanky]

she actually beats him, the Wasp shrinks her down and abandons her in the microverse

[lizard_of_aus]

Oh, I see. Shame, but still reasonably satisfying.

Victor and this team is growing on me....

is this before Dark Reign?

[lieut_kettch]

So is Nadia just fangirling Victor, or does she have a crush?

This makes me wonder, all of Thor's powers are granted by Mjolnir with the worthiness clause rather than being innate, right? How does that interact with someone who steals powers?
