Whilst I'm not claiming everyone here didn't enjoy "Acts of Vengeance", I know some of us, myself included, felt it to be underwhelming and not worthy of the hype. I liked the premise, but, with a few exceptions, it didn't seem to deliver what was expected.
How about we re-imagine it here?
It's quite simple. Pick the heroes who were originally part of the arc and match them against villains who've they've rarely or never battled previously. Use as many heroes as you like, but they must be ones who featured in the original series.
Mine would be:
Spider-Man VS Mandarin Iron Man VS Abomination Thor VS Sauron X-Men VS Kang the Conqueror Captain America VS Blob Fantastic Four VS Grey Gargoyle Wolverine VS Sandman Hulk VS Molecule Man Daredevil VS Mister Sinister Dr. Strange VS Thanos Punisher VS Magneto
Not the most creative choices, perhaps, but it's a subjective topic.
I liked Spider-Man's battles against Doom. I'd welcome him battling someone else with delusions of grandeur in Mandarin.
I'd like to see Iron Man's armour put to the test against Abomination!
Thor VS Sauron would be a visual treat for me. Watch out for Mjolnir, Sauron!
Have X-Men ever fought Kang? It could be their biggest challenge, given how close he's come to defeating the Avengers.
Good luck against the Blob, Captain America!
One man he may be, but the FF would be advised not to touch Grey Gargoyle. They'd probably subdue him relatively easily, though.
I chose Sandman as a Wolverine opponent because all of Wolverine's skills appear useless against Sandman! Adamantium claws aren't much use against Sandman's powers!
I'm also not sure how much use Hulk's strength would be against Molecule Man's powers, but the green-skinned goliath would no doubt find a way to persevere.
I'd like to see Mister Sinister's mental powers used against Daredevil's own super-senses!
Has Dr. Strange ever fought Thanos? Is Thanos well-protected against magic? Let's find out.
And in perhaps another mismatch, Punisher would have an incredibly tough time against Magneto.
Like I said, all subjective, but over to you!
