Founding members J2 The only
minor in the team, J2 is
Zane Yama, a 15-year-old high school student and the son of the original
Juggernaut (Cain Marko) and district attorney Sachi Yama. Picked on by bullies at school, he manifested the ability to grow to a huge size, in which he gains super strength and invulnerability. His uniform, which includes his father's favorite
flannel shirt tied around his waist over his armor, manifests itself automatically upon metamorphosis. He can only stay this way for about an hour.
Mainframe Mainframe is a self-aware computer program, created by
Tony Stark, which inhabits a series of identical armors. When an armor is damaged or destroyed, he simply transfers his consciousness to another body. His robot body utilizes Stark technology similar to the one found in the Iron Man armor. His personality is based on his creator's, possibly created by the same process as the
Vision's.
Stinger Dr. Cassandra Lang is the daughter of the second
Ant-Man, Scott Lang. Although she is the oldest member, in her mid-20s, and the only one on the team with a professional life and a scientific background, she is still doted on by her father, who constantly worries about her new-found superhero life. She possesses many abilities originally engineered by Henry Pym, including resizing, flying, communication with insects and artificial "stingers", all based on her costume and helmet.
Thunderstrike 18-year-old
Kevin Masterson is the son of the original
Thunderstrike. He absorbed his father's mace into his body, and has gained the ability to produce "thunderclaps"; bursts of concussive force from his hands. He can use them to simulate super strength or to propel him in huge Hulk-like leaps. Although he doesn't possess real super strength, he has limited invulnerability. In his civilian identity, he is a college student.
Dream Team The
Dream Team is a fictional group of heroes in the
Marvel Comics MC2 universe. They first appeared in
A-Next #4, and are based upon the "kooky quartet" of replacement Avengers introduced in
Avengers #16. In their first appearance,
Mainframe accepts them as members of the Avengers without consulting the existing members, which initially creates conflict between the original A-Next team and the Dream Team. The team roster comprises:
American Dream Shannon Carter is the niece of
Sharon Carter. Her uniform design is based on
Captain America's and includes a set of stun discs (similar to
Nomad's) that can be thrown at opponents. She does not possess any powers, but is an
Olympic-level athlete, a skilled fighter and a strategist. American Dream was later rewarded the shield of an alternate-reality Captain America after saving that world from destruction. Her main power is superspeed. She was once affiliated with the
X-People (successors to the
X-Men), until she joined the Avengers, thinking the move would net her more publicity.
Crimson Curse Aerika Harkness is related to the witch
Agatha Harkness, former teacher to the
Scarlet Witch. She possesses control over magical energies, although the exact nature of those energies is not known. They appear similar to the way the Scarlet Witch's powers were
originally portrayed, and she can control it with relative ease. She died stopping an alternate Doctor Doom from attempting to use the
Cosmic Cube to invade the Avengers' Earth.
Sabreclaw Hudson Logan is the son of
Wolverine and half-brother to
Wild Thing. He possesses claws and a healing factor similar to Wolverine's. He was once a member of the
Revengers, but joined the Avengers when he claimed to have reformed. The character has received accolades from critics. • In 2020,
CBR.com ranked Coal Tiger 2nd in their "10 Most Powerful Alternate Versions Of Black Panther" list.
Earth Sentry John Foster is the son of
Bill Foster. When John and his father
Bill were investigating a
UFO crash site, they discovered a
Kree space probe. When they neared the ship, the automated defenses activated, and a robotic sentry was released. Bill activated a distress signal which was picked up by
Mainframe and the rest of A-Next.
Spider-Girl Spider-Girl is
May "Mayday" Parker, the daughter of
Spider-Man and
Mary Jane Watson. She possesses the same spider-powers as her father and wears a costume similar to that of her father's clone, the
Scarlet Spider, when he briefly wore the mantle of Spider-Man. == In other media ==
