Marvel Just Revealed a Wild New Avengers Team

A wild new Avengers team debuted in the final issue of Savage Avengers. The series from writer David Pepose and artist Carlos Magno has been pretty different from the typical Avengers team fans may be used to. Instead of heavy hitters like Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and Thor, the Savage Avengers lineup featured Elektra Natchios aka Daredevil, Cloak, Dagger, Anti-Venom, Black Knight, Weapon H, a Miles Morales Deathlok, and even Conan the Barbarian. Their adventures have taken the Savage Avengers to Marvel's 2099 future, where another team is eventually assembled that includes some pretty wild additions.

Savage Avengers #10 comes from the creative team of David Pepose, Carlos Magno, Espen Grundetjern, and VC's Travis Lanham. The big battle sees the Savage Avengers fighting against Ultron, who looks to take over the 2099 timeline. Along with appearances by Punisher 2099 and Doom 2099, Elektra looks for reinforcements in the prison that Ultron created to hold other heroes from the future. Once released, Elektra utters the iconic "Avengers Assemble" catchphrase to rally the troops.

This radical Savage Avengers 2099 roster includes Elektra/Daredevil, Spider-Man 2099, Ghost Rider 2099, Strange 2099, Bloodhawk, and La Lunatica. Together they're able to change the tide and defeat Ultron once and for all in what is the final issue of Savage Avengers.
