Norman Osborn gets control over who’s the field leader, so it’s no surprise that he prefers the one who will work best towards his agenda. Radioactive Man, a former villain who has been a hero for a while, contests this, while also asking Norman Osborn about his new costume. It’s ok, Chen; we readers have been asking that same question since you became a part of the team.

It’s a funny exchange between Osborn and Radioactive Man. Osborn’s answer about the new costume makes a lot of sense. “Diapers,” indeed. Part of the reason behind Radioactive Man needing a new look, other than the fact that it does look a bit silly and outdated, is that Osborn is responsible for the team looking presentable to the American public. They are one of the teams that are part of the 50 states Initiative; and although they are some of the most evil villains to ever team up, America must come to love and trust them.

Who could love Venom or Bullseye, though? Venom, whose host is former villain Scorpion, AKA Matt Gargan, has been fighting Spider-man for years, and now he has a disgusting symbiotic alien creature that lives in his stomach when he’s not in battle. EW. Bullseye is without a doubt not deserving of any redemption. He has the talent to kill anything with pinpoint accuracy, and he loves killing. His conversation with Norman is creepier than hearing Matt Gargan’s description of being host to the Venom symbiote.

This team, this wild group of “heroes” have a lot of opponents to face in the future. Their first opponent was Jack Flag, and in this issue, a few more heroes are stepping up to challenge registration. For their sake, I just hope that none of them are given the same treatment Jack Flag was when Bullseye snuck up on him at the end of issue 111.

My ruling:
Loved it!

That's it for Marvel comics. The next panels you'll see will be for DC comics I have been reading.
