Marvel Comics General

For the Young Avengers, I'd probably take Kate Bishop, Wiccan, Hulkling, Ms. Marvel, Nova, Miles Morales, and Kid Loki as an ideal line-up. Stature (although can we please have her as Stinger instead) and Patriot are also high up there, and could be added at any time.

Stature/Stinger would have good odds of being used thanks to the Ant-Man movie making her the least obscure character to general audiences.

Young Avengers season 1: original team, with Armadeus Cho as Iron Lad.

Young Avengers season 2: Stature departs along Iron Lad and Spider-Girl and young-aged Shuri/Black Panther

Young Avengers season 3: Volume 2 team, and add Stature and Iron Lad again..

That's how I would do it....I think it's time to done a YA cartoon anyway and I think America's progressive enough now for Billy and Teddy to be featured in it.

Cho as Iron Lad on a team could work. Hell that's pretty much what he is in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. He is Iron Spider.

I like this line-up.

I like it too, although I feel like there should be more than two female characters. Stature or Miss America?

Seriously, though, I find the idea of Valeria taking on the identity of Doctor Doom in a Bad Future to be very compelling. Maybe she and Franklin could be recurring characters. Imagine some of the team having to watch over them while the FF are on a dangerous mission to the Negative Zone, with chaos rapidly ensuing.

What about Mania?

Not like she's doing anything◊.

how the fuck is he the one wolverine who is immune to the zombie virus.

He's not the only one immune to the zombie bites - Deadpool over in Marvel Zombies was also shown as immune due to his healing factor. (As well as Shut Up, who is immune due to some other reason.)

Actually, it seemed to be hinted that Deadpool isn't immune. He just doesn't get bitten. Instead, they actually cut out pieces of his brain to eat.

Hmm, you might be right, but I didn't see the indication that he was never bitten. Basically, I thought they bit him, he didn't turn, so they realized he had a healing factor, strung him up, and starting eating his brains to get smarter.

Well, in any case, Shut Up is immune to the zombie bite. (God I love Si Spurrier's Marvel Zombies. So much better than the original mini-series.)

Also, if you notice, Old Man Logan is affected when he's bitten. His eyes turn all black and green, but then they shift back to normal as his healing factor kicks in. I do think Bendis is making him a bit overpowered (his healing factor wasn't working that well back during the original Old Man Logan story), but I don't really care because the artwork is outstanding.

Basically, Andrea Sorrentino is the anti-Greg Land. He can turn even a bad story awesome.

Andrea Sorrentino is a guy. He's Italian. But yes, he is amazing. Easily one of the best artists Marvel has at the moment.

Whoops, thanks. Damn those weird gender neutral-ish names. (That's how I also learned that "Kelly" could be a guy's name, too.)

In nearly all previous stories, healing factors were only shown to delay the transformation into a zombie, not bestow immunity.

Of course, we could just go ahead and assume this virus is different.

It makes sense to me; Logan's healing factor's so good he can't even get drunk, let alone zombified.

Don't know about the zombiefied bit, but I yeah, I clearly remember reading that he can't get drunk, so much so that he has to call up a power-nullifying friend of his whenever he wants to get slammered.

From the Wikipedia article:

However, as noted by Spider-Man, those with any kind of accelerated healing appear to be able to fend off the zombification longer after being bit than others, though it does eventually overcome him.

So maybe this zombie infection is just a little bit weaker than the one in the original book, so a healing factor can completely fend it off? Or else Old Man Logan is going to become a zombie next issue.

I'm saying that if his healing factor's so precise it can even get rid of something as small as drunkenness, then it being able to deal with a zombie virus seems plausible.

He's been zombified in the past though

Alternate Wolverines, yes, but not Old Man Logan. (And have we seen any zombie Wolverines in the Deadlands?)

Have we seen any non-villain/anti-hero zombies in the Deadlands?

Starbrand and Nightmask ongoing, by Greg Weisman and Dominike Stanton. The characters will be attending college at ESU - Doreen Green will even cameo in the first issue. The supporting cast will apparently be quite diverse, which is always nice, and will even include Sha Shan, Flash Thompson's ex-wife. Neat!

I probably still won't be picking it up.

Also Kenny Kong! Who finally migrates over from the Ultimate universe.

Greg wiseman? I give it 2 arcs.

What's wrong with him?
