With time for Avengers submissions rapidly diminishing, a couple more have shown up to compete for the title of Earth's Mightiest Heroes:
"Mockingbird: I decided to keep her outfit simple, with a little bit of the old and new. I like the fact that she appears to wear glasses as a superhero so I made them with dark rims and yellow lenses.
"Bucky, back in his Winter soldier uniform, can't bare to put the Captain America costume on again, although he embedded a broken piece of cap's shield into his bionic arm. I wanted his arm to be more haphazard, and he wears a scarf for a little color. He leads the team of misfits but he's very secretive and struggles being a leader.
"With this version of Spider-Woman, a piece of the Symbiote attached itself to her, giving her more of her black and white look. She still has flight and laser stingers, but also has webbing now. Usually she can keep it in check, but it creeps in the edges of her psyche on her toes and fingers. I kept just a hint of yellow on her forehead.
"My version of Moon Knight is not the original Moon Knight, but a Skrull trying to copy moon knight who went crazy trying to mimic all his personalities. He's a rogue Skrull fighting for good, and frequently is struggling with who he is. I gave him more wraps and bandages and more of a creepy gangly look, and just a hint of the Skrull chin coming out."

"Talon/X-23: Straightforward design with much less midriff showing. Her armband has claw like strips to recall a bit of family history. And she wears Converse.
"Jewel/Power Woman: I didn't want to do the female version of Power Man thing, so I started fresh and made up a not in street cloths costume. Boot like leggings, covered shoulders and a smaller jewel moved to her chest, no mask as she never had one and her identity is public knowledge.
"Spider Woman: I thought she should have her whole face covered, it adds a bit more spookiness to her, also redesigned the yellow in her costume, pointing up and more angular, the yellow can be "turned off" for a little more stealth.
"Valkyrie: A mix of fashion and that Asgardian look. I ditched the cape and gave her more of a skirt, it looks better than a one-piece swimsuit.
"I went with an all female team because I thought it would be interesting dynamic, master spies, well-trained operatives, investigators and powerful women. Most of these women have been messed with in serious ways: abducted and impersonated by Skrulls, cloned and trained to be a weapon, minds manipulated and death oaths to gods. They all have an Avengers logo on an armband or patch on a shoulder, tying them together while keeping individual looks."
"After the great 'Bendis catastrophe' that wiped out a league of heroes, these are the only Avengers left to figure out what happened, who orchestrated it, and avenge their fallen comrades. They're a group of misfit heroes who are all either former villains or unstable, and the only thing keeping them together is the idea of the team itself. They are...the Avenging Avengers!
"Yellow Jacket was a villain, but decided to use her tech powers for good. She's young, brash and a punk. She has Ant Man's shrinking, Wasp's wings, and Black Widow's stingers. Since 'jacket' is in her name, I gave her an actual jacket, and gave her more of a stylish/posh look. She still thinks this is fun.

"Luke Cage is the strongest on the team. Since he's a close friend of Cap's, he feels it necessary to wear cap's old colors, though he still can't bring himself to put on a proper costume. He's a beloved everyman, probably the most trusted of the group. He regularly fights with Bucky over team leadership.
