[QUOTE="Morlock, post: 6616503, member: 6776981"] Yeah, though I hadn't made the connection. Which is funny because I really liked the early T-Bolts. Well, sort of. I was thinking of less redemption, more scheming and deceiving. Like [i]Dark Avengers[/i], but maybe not quite so evil and self-destructive. The Dark Avengers were an obvious time bomb, I was thinking of something more manageable and stable. Somewhere between the Thunderbolts and the Dark Avengers. Penthouse Comix had a group sort of like what I'm talking about, at least, it seemed like that in the first issue. Really amoral, self-serving scumbags, who are villains by the rigorous standards of the standard superhero genre, but, in a way, much more human and realistic than superheroes. As an aside, that's a lot of what I liked about Dark Avengers; not the villainy, but the fact that they were deeply flawed.
