monition : Contains spoilers forNew Champions # 2 !
Marvel’slatest superhero team , the New Champions , have only just assembled their full roll , so I was pretty shocked to find out out that the team is already lessen aside . From all - new potential sidekicks to fresh but underutilized character , the squad almost had a perfect assembly of heroes , and I have to wonder why the new serial publication just made joining the squad seem completely undesirable to a fistful of their prospect .
unexampled Champions#2 – publish by Steve Foxe , with art by Ivan Fiorelli – features the direct fallout afterthe team of immature zep assembledto take down living dead Vikings , after being accidentally united from across the globe by Hellrune ’s mysterious powers . While I thought this would be the perfect chance to fetch this superintendent - group together , many of the new characters are not on board .
To be fair , the New Champions did add two great new members , but they ’re outbalance by the hero sandwich that totally shut them down . With an original squad phallus also drop by the wayside , it ’s a rough start for the team .
I Was Looking Forward To The New Champions Lineup; It’s Too Bad Half Characters Aren’t Interested In Joining
New Champions#2– Written By Steve Foxe; Art By Ivan Fiorelli; Colors By Arthur Hesli; Lettering By VC’s Travis Lanham
In the exciting ending of the first result ofNew Champions , the core four members ofthe team had seemingly added eight superheroes to expand the roster , so I ’m kind of disappointed by the majority of these characters after plump for out . I thought the comprehension of the newfangled Nightshade , a super - powered genius who made her debut in 2023 , was an interesting choice that could have seriously leveled up the character - but she makes it most light that she desire no part in this kids club . The brand - new Deadpool Boy andthe tween Hulk spinoff Hulkettealso just are n’t interested .
Marvel just formally confirm the four young superhumans who will lead its next multiplication of sub in The New Champions .
There are a few potential team members like Kid Juggernaut , Spider - Boy , and theScarlet Witch sidekick Amaranth , who say that they would care to join but just have too much other stuff live on , which could be perceived as a commodious self-justification rather than their factual reason to not stick around . If join the New Champions in any capacitance was really beguiling , I feel like they could have made it work somehow . Even the team’spotentially most sinewy member , Hellrune , decide that she ’s had enough , leave the team with only five prescribed members at the remainder ofNew Champions#2 .
If “New Champions” Is Going to Work, I’m Not Sure Establishing Them As Uncool Is The Right Move
They’re Underdogs, But Is It Too Much?
matter are made even bad for the New Champions in a fashion I did n’t look after their various crack rejections , as another one of the heroes that gives them a solid “ maybe ” is actually just a scoundrel look to double - cross them . The mysterious mystical - powered Monte is working withthe raw Magneto - based character Magnetrix , sic up the duo as the first true big bads for the new team . While I ’m look forrader to finding out more about these two as villains , they hammer home the fact that the New Champions are fundamentally seen as “ New Chumps ” , like Monte says himself .
Marvel ’s New Champions are back with a brand - fresh roll ; how do they heap up against the previous team , & the similar Young Avengers squad ?
I understand that these are growing pains for the young hero squad as they ’re established , and it gives them room to really prove themselves as a powerful young group to be reckoned with in due time . However , I’m not sure that it benefit the new squad for so many in - universe characters to think that they ’re just patently uncool . Enough naysayers already throw out similar complaints about new characters too often , so I trust those claims are challenged moving forward . The core ofthe squad was already founded after HYDRA brainwashingbrought them together , so they merit to be dilute some falloff .
As A Young Avengers & Champions Fan, I’m Still Hopeful For The Future
Previous Teams ProveNew ChampionsFormula Can Work Successfully
I still see warm potential in the New Champions , specially with the two fun character who actually did join , the new Wakandan superhero Gold Tigerand Fantasma ’s twist on Ghost Rider . But as they form their own course , the New Champions will have to let out detached from the phantasm of the Young Avengers and the original Champions . The Young Avengers helped me get into comics as a kid , and theseyoung superhero teams are a strong entry pointfor novel reader , so I feel like it would be best to make bring together the New Champions seem as exciting as possible .
The New Champions could still stand to be a major grand force in the Marvel Universe , so I hope they can hold a strong roll together long enough to do so .
The updated team will actually be going up against the oldChampions , including Ms. Marvel , Miles Morales , and morein their next issue , so they ’ll have a probability to prove themselves directly against the previous iteration of their group . However , with the recent shake - up in their roll to rarify things , it seems like it might be an uphill engagement for the team as they continue to get their ground . TheNew Championscould still stand to be a major heroic force play in the Marvel Universe , so I desire they can hold a strong roster together long enough to do so .
