Agreed...even the heroes/villains that arent superpowered like Batman and Hawkeye are built like super soldiers b/c they represent that "god factor". I can deal with that...Im moreso glad to see the diversification of characters in comics now since I started reading them about 30 years. Its still funny to look back at oldies and see the few black heroes with names that could only include their ethnic makeup (BLACK Lightning, BLACK Manta, BLACK Racer, BLACK Vulcan etc) or Asian American heroes that could only activate their powers by screaming in Japanese, Chinese etc.

Overall Im glad to see this movie coming out and satisfied they got qualified actors to play the roles of one of my favorite groups. Thats all that matters really.

Samuel L. Jackson being the boss of the whole thing is cool, but now I'm thinking that they should have worked Luke Cage into the Avengers mix somehow for some more diversification. Plus, Luke Cage is awesome.

While I agree that Luke Cage is awesome, he wouldn't have fit well in the movie. He would just be a smaller weaker Hulk and completely overshadowed.

He deserves his own movie.
