UPDATE: Marvel Announces First All-Female AVENGERS Team -  A-FORCE

We had a big announcement from DC earlier on, and now it's Marvel's turn. Just now on The View, the publisher announced plans for an all-female team of Avengers who will be known as the A-Force. Click on for a look at the massive roster of heroes...

Marvel has announced that an all-female superteam will spin out of their upcoming Secret Wars event. Featuring an extensive roster of characters led by She-Hulk, members will include the likes of Dazzler, Medusa, Nico Minoru, Jean Grey, Vampira, Elektra, and a new "cosmically powered" hero named Singularity. A-Force will be co-written by G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel) and Marguerite Bennett (Angela), with art by Jorge Molina. “We've purposefully assembled a team composed of very different characters — from disparate parts of the Marvel U, with very different power sets, identities and ideologies," Wilson said. "They'll all have to come together to answer some big questions: What would you sacrifice to succeed? What is being a hero worth?”

AFORCE-(1)


UPDATE: Here's a better look at new character, Singularity.



You can see for yourself how many great characters will be involved with this, and though A-Force isn't Marvel's first all-female team, it's definitely its biggest. What do you think?

No Mockingbird. The only thing I could have asked for in a all female Avengers team. I'll pass.

As an admirer of female superheroes, particularly the Marvel chicks, this is an awesome idea!

The only thing that would've made this awesome is if they had included not only Mockingbird, but also Honey Lemon and Go-Go Tomago from Big Hero 6.

I know BH6 was a Disney movie, but it was based off a Marvel property.

Like the all-female Ghostbusters reboot, I feel like this is a gimmick. And using an all-female cast as a gimmick seems a little sexist to me. But what do I know?

This sounds pretty awesome! It's a shame this team will probably be disbanded after the Secret Wars event...

Wait, why is Spider-Woman wearing her classic suit? Actually, Rogue is sporting her 90's look...

But Carol Danvers is Captain Marvel... It's confusing that some characters are the modern incarnations while others are the past incarnations.

Because the girls can't hang with the boys?

Not trying to be snarky, but I'm pretty sure we tried the whole "separate but equal" thing once. That's why I've enjoyed Agent Carter's approach to social commentary. It doesn't feel patronizing or demeaning; they just give her a chance to shine in a man's world without a handicap.

This could be great. It's pretty much a bigger version of the Liberators.
