Create your own Dark Avengers

   Ok after reading New Avengers #18 I just couldn't resist this. If you were Norman Osborn, and the Hand, Hydra, AIM and HAMMER had all united under your leadership, who would you bring together as your Dark Avengers?

I won't put too many restrictions up, like you have to have a Spider Man, Iron Man etc, you can choose whoever you want.  However, remember that the theme of the Dark Avengers is villains/darker characters posing as established Avengers. If you can justify Terrax stepping in as Jack of Hearts then go for it . There's no roster limit either, if you want to replace the original five or the entire current roster go for it.

Ok here's mine:

Captain America: John Steele, the super soldier from Secret Avengers.

Hawkeye: Crossfire. Clint Barton's nemesis and an expert marksman. I think he would hit home even harder than Bullseye in the role.

Spider Man: Venom (Flash Thompson). I almost said Kaine, but I couldn't see him working for Osborn. Flash, on the other hand, could easily be manipulated I imagine. I could see Osborn tricking him and telling  him he's been transferred to this group.

Scarlett Witch: Satana. Freed from the clutches of the Thunderbolts, Satana happily joins the Dark Avengers for a chance at a little retribution.

Giant Man: Goliath (Tom Foster). Last seen in the New Avengers annual. This guy holds a serious grudge against many of the Avengers for killing his uncle Bill.

Wolverine: Daken. I don't think he held any grudge against Osborn, like a couple of the other Dark Avengers, so I could see him coming back. He was good fun on the team too, manipulating everyone.

Black Widow: Mystique. She's worked with Osborn before, albeit under duress, and last we saw her she was on death's door thanks to Wolverine. Osborne saves her and put her on the team.
