Bit of an idiotic tagline, when you think about it, as it’s been stated over and over again that, in terms of crime, focusing on preventing the problem from happening is way more effective than coming up with a solution.
Also: I’m guessing it’s The Beast.
Guess: Noh-varr
Black Panther? Beast sounds most likely…
Maybe I’m just crazy, but at first glance I thought that this guy had a hot dog for a head.
Squirell-Girl!
hitman monkey :D
It’s a very Spider-Man-ish pose, but the tagline doesn’t fit Spidey at all. Old Peter pretty much focuses on the problem until he gets annoying.
I’ll go with The Beast, since the hands look big and we’ve seen that image where it looks like he’s going back to his more ape-like look.
I hope not…Is that I’m not much a fan of apes or primates in general…for a chidlish trauma I got. STUPID MONKEYS I HOPE TO LIVE TO SEE YOU END UP LIKE THE DODO!!…errh sorry…I don’t like apes and monkeys…at all.
I’m just hoping this won’t be another of those “pro-active” hero teams. Those never work out very well.
The folks over at Comic Book Resources were going with Spiderman but I’m going to go with the majority of the sages here and say Beast. Kinda confusing though to go from four Avengers books (Mighty, New, Dark and Initiative) to one and now to two. The other question is how the hell do you keep a secret in the Marvel U?
Newsarama sez its a whole new Avengers title – “secret avengers” with Bru and Deodato at the helm. A whole team of black silhouette wearing revenge minded super-humans, yeah? In the age of heroes, we need a team of secret heroes!
Ignoring the image and based on the tagline, I’m going with one of my all time favorite characters, Fixer!
GRAY HULK!
You may be right…
I was thinking about that Gorilla guy from Agents of Atlas. He’s been in a lot of teaser images lately.
I can’t be the only one seeing what i think i’m seeing am i? Because that sure looks like a penis between the legs.
Judging from the responses, I’m going to go with Rorschasch:)
It’s Wolverine with his claws retracted. ;p
It’s Dr.Voodoo or The Hood
I see a Venom symbiote in there….
Deadpool
Bruce Banner IS Smart-Hulk with a symbiote O__o OMFG
Bruce Banner as Green Hulk with a Red Lantern ring!
who says its a group of heroes? in “The Heroic Age” who needs to operate in secret: villains!
Wait is that more than one character?
Nah just a jacket…
I’m gonna guess, Copperhead!
I clearly see the outline of a great hero of days past…
The man called…
FLAMING.
CARROT.
(Look close, it’s there…)
Komodo? She’s got “black ops” experience, she’s Avengers: Initiative, and she’s… Um… That’s all I got.
I’m thinking the image is a little big to be Komodo, but I do really like that character so I’d be all for it. I bought all the Initiative stuff out and didn’t really like where they went with it, but I did like a lot of the characters introduced. Maybe I’m just a sucker for newer younger heroes coming up to the forefront.
It’s an EXTREME CLOSE-UP!!! :D Maybe?
Black Panther or Beast. With the seeming possible Defenders reunion of the other ones I am leaning towards Beast.
