Another Avengers news item.

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are going to be in Avengers 2.

Scarlet Witch can distort probability, and project bad luck at her enemies, and surround herself with good luck.
Which, basically fucks up her enemies, and protects her.
And, she can fly.
So...basically, magical female Iron Man who doesn't need the suit.

And Quicksilver has super-speed.
So, Marvel's version of Flash.
But, you can't call it a ripoff, because Flash already ripped off Mercury.

And, they're both Magneto's kids.

Now, Joss Whedon didn't come out and say this precisely, but he did say there would be "a brother sister team".
Well, took nanoseconds for comic book geeks to guess at it, as they're the only sibling Avengers.

I dunno if Disney can legally reference their parentage or not.
Can't remember if X-Men is legally cordoned off from Avengers the way Spiderman is, or if those franchises simply have avoided each other.

If it's the latter, then bam, here's the crossover.

So, I'm excited!
But...there's rumors that Thanos won't appear 'til Avengers 3.
Awww, come OOOOON!!!
