Osborn Chooses His New Dark Avengers

Norman Osborn is back at it with his Dark Avengers, he has already recruited his team and already formed allies in New Avengers #18.

After escaping the secret he was being held in, Norman decided to make friends with A.I.M., Hydra and The Hand led by Gorgon. Having those three allies backing up his every motif has also gave him the chance to form his new Dark Avengers with Wolverine, Hulk, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man, Mrs. Marvel and Hawleye, but these aren't the actual Avengers of course.

Skaar, the Son of Hulk and King of the Savage land will be taking the charge as Hulk on Norman's new team. Skaar will be backed up by Barney Barton as Hawkeye, Ai Apaec as a six armed Spider-Man, and Toxic Doxie as Scarlet Witch. There still leaves the question on who will be portraying Wolverine and Ms. Marvel. My best guess for Wolverine would be Daken, but his new motifs don't really coincide with Osborn's and this Wolverine has three claws between his knuckles as opposed to having two claws and one claw coming from the palm. As for who the new Ms. Marvel might be, I have no idea honestly.

Osborn being back and having a team that can cause a problem for the Avengers is really nothing compared to what A.I.M. brought Osborn as a gift. Somehow A.I.M. has acquired the body of Ragnarok, Thor's clone designed by Stark and Reed during the Civil War. The only reason A.I.M. hasn't used Ragnarok was because of money issues, but now that is not an issue with Osborn helping them out. once Ragnarok is up and running, he will be the ninth member of the Dark Avengers including Osborn when he gets armor for himself.

So Norman Osborn is back to wreak havoc across the globe for his belief that costumed super powered beings should be allowed to do what they do for what they think is right for the world. And knowing Osborn, he will give the Avengers a run for their money. If he goes down the same path as he did in Dark Avengers, then Ragnarok will be his secret weapon, but like the Sentry was.
