Line #2 YMMV/SecretAvengers


1	* BrokenBase:
2	** A minor one, concerning the relaunch title's gimmick of the team having their minds wiped after every mission. Either it's an interesting idea, it ruins the book, or it's a silly concept but ignorable enough for them to focus on the team itself.
3	** The loss of Mockingbird, Taskmaster (two of the most popular characters from the run) and Quake for MODOK and Spider-Woman for the relaunch was splitting the base from the moment the relaunch was announced.
4	*** What doesn't help matters is that the new volume's writer Ales Kot has specified that Bobbi and Quake probably won't play a part in anything he's got planned, and Bucky's new ongoing (also written by Kot) has kept Bucky and Daisy together but no has no mention of Bobbi, or where she went. While there's plenty of fans who like the new series and don't mind this, a number of fans, especially fans of Mockingbird, aren't too happy by her being PutOnABus.
5	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
6	** Mockingbird and Taskmaster.
7	** From the ''Infinity'' tie-ins, there's [[{{Adorkable}} Sarah]] [[DeadpanSnarker Garza]] a newly awakened Inhuman SHIELD computer technician. For a character who only appeared for two issues, she was very well liked, with many fans wanting her back.
8	* FridgeBrilliance: The differences between Bobbi's first and second appearances, and her third make perfect sense in light of the recent developments in Secret Avengers. After the first appearances Forson wiped her of all memories of working with him and the Cult of Entropy, and put in the Bobbi personality, suppressing her psychic abilities in the process, effectively completely changing who she was. It's the same character, but with a different personality, missing some memories, and with the ability that made her turn to the Cult of Entropy missing.
9	* JerkassWoobie: Sure, [[spoiler: Barbara]] was apparently working for the Cult of Entropy, Forson, and killed a group of SHIELD agents years ago, but it's hard to hold it against her when she looks so miserable and Forson makes it obvious that her life is only worth anything if she's with him. That the last two issues consist of her seeing Forson brutally have Yelena murdered while she was wearing camotech that made everyone believe that she was Mockingbird, then almost being murdered by Forson after fighting back, lying on the floor and looking like she might stay there and bleed to death for a few panels before she gets up and staggers to the door.
10	* MoralEventHorizon:
11	** Forson is introduced doing his, by having entire legions of AIM scientists kill themselves while he clearly enjoys it. [[spoiler: Hill crosses it when she deactivates Mockingbird's memory implants to stop her fulfilling the mission to kill Forson, resulting in Bobbi collapsing, then waking up inside AIM island with no idea what she's doing there. She also has Clint and Natasha's memories altered so they think Bobbi wasn't on the mission in the first place so they'll leave her behind. Bobbi is now trapped behind enemy lines, with no idea what she's doing there, no idea how she got there, and no way to get help and escape. In short, Hill just left her to die without a second thought. This is after, mind you, she arranges to have Daisy fired from her position and tries to argue that she should have criminal charges against her, at least partially just so she can get the top position again.]]
12	** Daisy [[spoiler: attempting to have Forson assassinated to send a message after the death of someone she cared about, putting the entire team in danger and putting Maria in the position where she had to cross a line and leave Bobbi on the island]]. She also says that she's got what she wanted and doesn't even try to stick around to see what happens to the team that she sent in, considering her part done.
13	* TearJerker:
14	** Natasha telling Clint that the Secret Avengers team isn't like the Red Room, and that they get to walk away tomorrow with no memory of this, and that he should consider it a gift. Given that we've seen Natasha being given false memories so that she can be put in position to kill people, and that she's later regretted it, killing people who are actually dangerous, but not losing her entire life to her job is a gift for her. Walking away from her bosses after her HeelFaceTurn almost got her killed.
15	** Taskmaster rescuing [[spoiler: Mockingbird]] from A.I.M. and trying to talk to [[spoiler: her]] and convince [[spoiler: her]] to escape, despite the character being borderline catatonic. He wonders what happened, shortly before being attacked by his apprentice. When he comes to, he swears that [[spoiler: Mockingbird]] will tear through the walls, only to be told that [[spoiler: she's]] dead. Even with the mask, he looks shocked and sad. [[spoiler: Made even worse when a figure appears behind him and shoots him in the head, killing him. And it's Mockingbird.]]
16	** #15 has Clint [[spoiler: crying while he holds Bobbi's body in his arms after she is shot (it turns out to be Yelena when the camotech is deactivated) and in #16 he quits the team after what happened to her. Maria doesn't blame him]].
