Geekscape Comics: Three More ‘Uncanny Avengers’ Members Revealed

The third Marvel NOW! ‘Next Big Thing’ press conference is going and during it writer Rick Remender revealed there will be three more characters joining the team in Uncanny Avengers.

Starting in issue #5 we will see Wonder Man, Sunfire and The Wasp join the team. Remender says that all three of the characters are there for a specific reason and explains the reason behind each character:

“Sunfire is brought in for a reason that I don’t want to give away yet, because it deals with the aftermath of the first arc. He and Wolverine have business. He has a natural reason for being there, and I love Sunfire. I’ve never had a member on any team that I feel I can write as surly as Sunfire.”

On the Avengers side, we’ve got Wonder Man, who’s going to play an interesting role. He’s now something of a pacifist, and a major reason he’s on the team is for PR purposes; using his Hollywood skills to help bridge the worlds of mutants and humans.

They don’t have a government source of funding. They’re not going to be getting orders from any government organization, so their funding comes from The Wasp.”
