The past year has been an ambitious period forMarvel , as they have relaunched a number of deed , rebooted theUltimateUniverse , and introduced a number of exciting new characters – including a slate of twistedAvengersanalogues that the Marvel Universe should hope do n’t regain ground to come together and take form a team .
Across title includingCaptain America , Iron Man , The Immortal Thor , andUncanny Avengers , Marvel has introduced , or reintroduce characters who represent to some of the society ’s highest - profile hoagy , let in several that are synonymous with the " Avengers " name .

Marvel’s Evil Avengers Are Ready To Come Together

Marvel – and risible volume storytelling in general – is no unknown to antagonists who reflect their protagonists in one way or another . One of the criticisms of the former phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was that the villain were almost exclusively everting of the hero . This has proved to still be a popular story move in 2023 , as a identification number of titles have dealt with immorality , or corrupted , counterparts for its most recognisable fiber . As a resolution , Marvel has – intentionally or not – introduced a nearly full roll for a possible villainous version of the Avengers .
General Strange was created by Jed McKay and Pasqual Ferry . His first full appearance was inDoctor Strange ( Vol . 6)#5 .
This yr , Doctor Strange faced off against a corrupted part of his psyche , General Strange , which had been split up from him and imprisoned for yard of years . late , inUncanny Avengers , " Stevil , " the nefarious Hydra knockoff of Steve Rogers , render as an agent of of Orchis , leading a new avatar of theMutant Liberation Front , intended to seed further discord in human - mutant relations . Perhaps the most interesting example of this trend is Toranos , introduced inImmortal Thor#1 , is theUtgard - God " of the superstorm,“with Thor being posited as a differential coefficient of this primaeval character , rather than the other way around .
Uncanny Avengers ( Vol . 4)is written by Gerry Duggan , with fine art by Javier Garron .
Toranos , Hydra - Cap , and General Strange are all direct , one - to - one correlations to Thor , Captain America , and Doctor Strange , respectively – but other potential " perverted Avengers " have been represented in the past yr . Most notably , Orchis loss leader Feilonghas been a sticker in Tony Stark ’s side inInvincible Iron Man , take ascendency of Stark Industries , and using Iron Man technical school to create mutant - hunting Stark Sentinels . It is unlikely this story will play out and not boast Feilong suit up in some figure of Iron Man armor before it is say and done . While not a verbatim correspondence to Tony Stark , Feilong sure enough represents the malformation of everything Iron Man stands for .
Feilong was create by Gerry Duggan and Pepe Larraz . He first appeared inX - world ( Vol . 6)#1 .
There are certainly other malign Avenger - analogue loaf in the Marvel Universe who could discharge a possible team - up . Notably , the mutant Fenris Twin – like in many ways to long - time Avengers Wanda and Pietro Maximoff – were members of Hydra Cap ’s Mutant Liberation Front , andpaid affectionately for itat the paw of Psylocke . They could certainly return , more determined than ever to make Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes compensate , and elevate themselves to another tier of villain in the Marvel Universe in the process . Though this may not have beenMarvel’sendgame this twelvemonth , a misrepresented , villainous version of theAvengersmay very well be on the horizon .
