The Big Question??

Assemble your questions
From the solicit for Mighty Avengers #16:

SECRET INVASION TIE-IN! Blah blah blah blah blah blahbity blah blah. Blah blah blah blah! Skrulls blah blah Elektra blah blah!! Blah surprise blah blah!! Plus the answer to the biggest question in modern Avengers history...

Hmm..."the biggest question in modern Avengers history?" Whatever could that be? Let's take a stab, shall we?
  • What the hell was the deal with Dr. Druid?? (editor's note: I don't think that's what they mean by "moden Avengers history...")

  • Why the hell is Wolverine an Avenger?

  • If the Scarlet Witch was as powerful as claimed, and she wanted to destroy the Avengers as claimed, how come she only managed to kill Ant-Man and Jack of Hearts, for heaven's sake? She can alter reality but can only take down C-listers? (editor's note: Hawkeye and the Vision got better...)

  • What the hell was the deal with Reed and Sue joining? (editor's note: again, likely not modern enough...) And Gilgamesh? Huh?

  • Given his amazing record of psychological instability, not to mention his complete lack of ANY scientific success since discovering Pym Particles decades ago, why in the world would anybody have Hank Pym helping run the Initiative or investigate Skrull corpses?

  • Why the hell was Doctor Strange an Avenger?

  • Why was Avengers HQ/Sentry Watchtower, which was demolished during World War Hulk, mysteriously undamaged in the Avengers' own titles?

  • Ares? Seriously?

  • Why is Doctor Doom talking like a street punk?

  • Hey, guys, why don't we remember Spider-Man's secret identity? I swear he and his family lived here...

  • How many times can the Mighty Avengers confront the renegade New Avengers but let them walk away unmolested? Man, that never gets old...

  • Are you a Skrull?? Speaking of never getting old...
Any other ideas for "the biggest question in modern Avengers history?" Chime in, guys...

You just about nailed all the questions I had...

I haven't been able to understand why Doctor Strange, Wolverine and Spider-Man are Avengers, and why none of them are capable of detecting a Skrull in their midst.

Sigh.
