Alright lets start of with something easy.

The Sentry

I believe I know why The Sentry put himself on the Raft. When Rob Reynolds becomes The Sentry he also becomes The Void, The Sentry's arch-rival.The Void is pure evil. It is my theroy that after Rob Reynolds gives up being The Sentry, he slips, takes the potion he needs to become The Sentry, and thus letting loose The Void. I believe that The Void then went on to kill Reynolds wife. And so The Sentry blames himself, an so asked to be locked up on the Raft to protect the world. Althought I am having trouble working out how Reynolds is The Sentry without him taking his potion.


Spider-woman

It was my view that Jessica was working for Dr. Doom. My reasoning for this was because it was a new team, a new era. And so the New Avenger sould have a new villian. I why not make it Doom? (Also the other reason for believeing this was because it's Bendis and you never know what he is going to do next.
But after just reading all five issues, plus checking reading the letters page, I'm thinking that she is really working for another group (Something along the line of S.W.O.R.D., but not S.W.O.R.D.). My reasons for this are that in the letter page it was said that one of Benis's favorite characters is Spider-woman, so why would he make her out to be a bad guy? But Benis did say he loved Daredevil, and look what he did to him. I am hoped that it is still Dr. Doom as I have a bet on with someone, he says it Hydra, but I don't think Bendis would go down the Hydra route.

The Breakout

In my opinion the breakout was designed as a distraction. It's said that Sauron was the main villain Electro was sent to break out, but that does not make sense. Why Sauron, there are far more powerful guys there who can also take power. It doesn't add up. I believe the mutates were set up. That one with the big head, said that they said noone would come looking for them. The conclusion I draw from this is that Sauron is just a diversion to the real plot. I have no idea what the real plot is though, but I want to take a guess that the breakout was not the real event, and the whole thing was a diversion, after all Electro did blackout the whole of Manhanton.

Anyway, those are just my thoughts there most likely wrong.

Well to touch on something that hasn't been mentioned, what about the few times during the breakout when he assumed the form of the Sentry. Was the void somewhere else doing evil things? I think he'll add for a more interesting plot twist.
I'm not totally sold on her being a possible villain. When speaking on phone conversations with her secret work, she seems very reluctant and seems to be within some sort of forced partnership. Well only time will tell.
I think that I can agree with the breakout just being a diversion for an even bigger plot, but for some reason I'm not sure Doom has any involvement. Also I just couldn't take Sauron as a serious contender for a main plot.

Hey that just my 2 pennies worth.

I think the thing with Jessica is being blown out of proportian I mean thers no garunee shes working for a criminal org. maybe the government got word of the NEw AVENGERS and want to keep a very short leash on them...Again.

I thought Ninja dude was Black Panther?

I would be cool if it was Black Panther and if done properly they might be able to tie it in with the Black Panther book itself. With the way Black Panther is going they could make all the pieces fit together.

That's what I though initially, but if any of you have seen the alternate covers then you've also seen the alternate outfit this mystery character was wearing. That's throwing me for a loop.

You talking about the white one. I've heard that it was going to be Moon knight, but I don't think thats true.

Also the other outfit, the ninja one, it's Daredevil, or Iron Fist, more Daredevil though.

Iron Fist or Moon Knight would be ok, but I'm not a big Daredevil fan.

I'm thinking that Spiderwoman is talking to Nick Fury. I have no real proof though. He's M.I.A after Secret War, which hasn't finished yet so dunno what happened.

I'd like to see S.W.O.R.D but that wouldn't really make sense. They deal with aliens and stuff.

I really really hope that Wolverine being in the Savage Land is tied into Uncanny X-Men. (He dissappeared down there and has yet to show up)

Totally agree with Quavers about Sentry. Only way to have it make sense and keep him a hero.

Disagree about Electro. He grabbed Sauron but I think the Mutates are being manipulated by someone else, so uh... Sauron's more the distraction.

Corwin about Sauron - He was a member of Weapon X, along with Marrow, Kaine and a few others (all mutants and leaned to the villian side). They were goverment stooges and if you listen to Sauron in #5 he tells why he was locked up.

Thank you Blastaar. I may have to try to find that series online.

Wait I thought that Marrow was good last time I checked. What happened?

Last I saw of her was in Weapon X #20 or so... almost two years ago

Edit - After re-reading 1-5 I take back my Fury comment.

Daredevil absolutely makes more sense, especially since he was there at the breakout. Although from what I was told, the ninja character and the other character with the war machinesque outfit are the same character.

Ah well, just speculation for now.

I have a very reliable source telling me that the mystery character for the Avengers is going to be Iron Fist.

Anybody else hear anything?

According to Marvel, the new guy is named Ronin, and he is NOT Daredevil.

Yeah I just read that in the Marvel Previews.

SPOILER!









Dinah Saur ends up dying in the Great Lakes Avengers mini. So that's what happened to my favorrite Terry Dactyl

what are the Great Lake Avengers? I saw a comic the other day and I was like What!
