Spotlight On...
THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS IV
UNUSUAL SUSPECTS #8...MASQUE II
Our Unusual Avenger was the last member to join before Onslaught and the renumbering of the original series. Masque was derivative of Madame Masque, one of a series of androids she used as avatars out in the world after becoming agoraphobic and paranoid. This Masque developed a sense of independence, but sought out Iron Man for aid right in the middle of The Crossing. The series was cancelled before her story could unfold, so Kurt Busiek later returned to her arc after Heroes Reborn to wrap up the tale of one of the shortest-lived Avengers ever.
Villain Team entry... LETHAL LEGION
While the Masters of Evil are more famous, the Lethal Legion have also harried the Avengers since their early days. Usually the minions of Count Nefaria or the Grim Reaper, the Legion tends to be in it for the money rather than personal vengeance or world domination. They maintained a colorful roster over the years, starring Avengers villains from Ultron to Whirlwind, and inspiring many imitation groups as well.
Spotlight On... the MASTER OF THE WORLD!
Every super team needs an arch nemesis, and Canada's Premiere Super-Heroes found theirs early on with a primitive human who, thanks to exotic alien technology, had become an incredibly powerful being bent on conquering the world... saving the world... wiping out most of humanity... creating the perfect world... creating the perfect race... and preventing climate change. Never one to miss an opportunity, this villain (or savior) was always prepared to adapt and get on with his next plot. Some would say he is a lunatic. Others would say he's a hero. He would say he is the Master!
Spotlight On... LIONHEART!
The lost Captain Britain, Kelsey Leigh emerged from a particularly controversial run on Avengers. Still, she represented an important question in Omniversal lore -- If potential Captains were always given a choice between the Sword of Might and the Amulet of Right, what happens when someone chooses the Sword and the path of violence? Tragically separated from her children as a result of her choice, Kelsey rejected the Captain Britain Corps and became Lionheart, joining with Albion and other Sword-bearers to reject the judgment of Roma and Brian Braddock. Ultimately, though, Kelsey learned how to reject the violence in her heart and was reunited with her children.
Spotlight On... DOCTOR VOODOO!
Today our sister sites begin Magic Month with a Spotlight on the Lord of the Loa, Jericho Drumm! Introduced during the 1970's, Brother Voodoo had limited success as a houngan super-hero, quickly being relegated to a series of guest appearances over the next few decades. After Secret Invasion, however, DOCTOR Voodoo became the new Sorcerer Supreme, combining the servant of the Vishanti and the Loa into one man. Although he was temporarily killed to make room for Stephen Strange's return, Doctor Voodoo was soon resurrected and enjoyed healthy runs with the Avengers Unity Division and a romance with the Scarlet Witch. As the headmaster of Strange Academy in his hometown of New Orleans, Doctor Voodoo has made a home for himself in the annals of Marvel lore.
