Marvel Comics has announced a new team, the Superior Avengers, led by Victor von Doom’s son Christoph Bernard. This team will be “more brutal, meaner, and better in every way” than previous Avengers teams. This six-issue limited series, written by Steve Foxe with art by Luca Maresca, will be available in comic shops on April 16th.
This series is a spin-out from One World Under Doom. For more information on the event, be sure to check out our exclusive interview with series writer Ryan North.
The Superior Avengers are made up of:
Doctor Octopus Ghost Kill Monger Malekith Onslaught Abominable
“Introducing a new character to the Marvel Universe, much less its entire cast, is both an honor and more than a little scary. That’s why editor Will Moss has written “ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM.” “When they approached me about developing a powerful, secret team of Avengers for the film, I knew I had to swing for the fences,” Fox said. “The Avengers readers meet here may have some familiar names, but it’s easy to see why they think they’re better than other teams.” The most ruthless, massive scale adventure I’ve ever written for Marvel. I’m so excited to be telling this story with Luca Maresca.Luca is very excited about the subtle psychological games and ferocious (sometimes literal) games that play out in our stories. It performs both actions well.

“Doctor Doom is one of my favorite villains, and I can’t wait for fans to discover his new Avengers story,” Maresca added. “When designing these characters, I tried to retain as many elements of the classic versions as possible. There are always references to the original characters in clothing and equipment. I am thrilled to be able to co-create new Marvel characters. I was so excited. Giving them life and a new identity is something I love to do. I’m looking forward to peeling back their layers and deepening them and exposing their souls as the story progresses. is waiting for a big surprise!”
