Who are Doc Justice and the J-Team? Well, actually we're still not certain, but Marvel Comics has unveiled a first glimpse of the mysterious new superhero team in the following video.

The publisher shared a teaser image yesterday which positioned this new group of heroes as natural successors to the likes of like the Avengers, Defenders, and Thunderbolts. That remains to be seen, of course, but editor Nick Lowe certainly sounds confident.

"In the 17 years I've been editing comics, I love ushering in new characters," he said. "But I've never been so excited about a new team. The J-Team is going to change part of the Marvel Universe forever. I know we say that a lot, but it's true."

Check out the announcement video and image below and let us know what you think.

Hmm. The name is very DC-ish (not just the JUSTICE part, but it’s unabashedly camp), and their costumes are extremely non-descript. Some of them are just wearing a monotone 1-piece and a cape. Unveiling an entire new team of heroes at the same time is tricky, you need to put a lot of work into each one to make them unique and not just “J-team member #4”

@Havenless - I think you need to take a look at them again. Let's just hope this team doesn't "runaway" from a thunderbolts like situation.

I don't know the others, but Kitty Pryde does.

They look too generic, like the superheroes created for dentist ads- kind of generic. This just looks bad.

That's an odd timeline. No FF, no X-Men?

Doc Justice is actually an established Marvel character in disguise. Calling it now. Also, Marvel writers should really stop making comedic references to DC if they keep stealing their IP.

@TheBatlist - It's probably just the Runaways pretending to be the Thunderbolts.

Yawn.

Rather unfortunate placement of that one dude's foot in the lower right.

Wait, could they actually be establishing new diversity characters instead of replacing beloved characters just to appease SJWs? Somebody pinch me.

Am I the only one who sees the Runaways?

@notreallymarcus - That was my first thought as well. Karolina and Victor on the right and Nico, Molly and Chase on the left side. Plus, I think it's drawn by Anka so that also adds up

"The J-Team is going to change part of the Marvel Universe forever. I know we say that a lot, but it's true."
Yeah, no [frick]ing shit. Every time anything happens it's "This'll change the Marvel universe forever! Until the next thing that'll really change the Marvel universe FOREVER for reals this time until the next thing that'll change the Marvel universe REALLY FOREVER this time!"
And nothing substantial sticks.

If you're that self aware of it, stop [frick]ing saying it.

Otherwise, this looks like it'll slip to obscurity.

@BritishMonkey - On the plus side, this time they're only claiming to change "part" of the Marvel Universe.

@crawley - I mean, true... Suppose that's a step in the right direction there.

@tmp3 - Nice. Thank you for not spoiling it. Let's hope a certain somebody doesn't spoil it for the rest in the headline like they did for the Endgame title reveal.

tmp3 - 8/20/2019, 9:33 AM
@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Yeah, I wanted to be very conscious of that, especially since it was a really cool reveal to see personally.

@regularmovieguy - Yeah, I [frick]ing love Noah Baumbach. Can't wait to see it, Driver and ScarJo look like they're gonna win the Oscars
