Black Panther is one of the hottest characters under the Marvel umbrella right now. Not only does he have a huge blockbuster film on the horizon for next year, but there are two critically acclaimed ongoing titles that bear his name. Later this year, that number climbs to three as current steward of the franchise Ta-Nehisi Coates team up with poet Yona Harvey and artist Butch Guice for Black Panther and the Crew, which takes T'Challa to Harlem and re-teams him with some of his closest friends.

With Avengers: Age of Ultron just around the corner, interest in these heroes has never been greater, so we've decided to pit all the official comic book Avengers against each other in a battle for your affections. Who is the greatest, best, favorite Avenger of all time? Only you can decide. For the first round, we've created voting groups that mix up different eras of Avengers membership. Group A consists of Iron Man, Crystal, Manifold, Sue Storm, Vision, Sentry, Spectrum, and perhaps the most obscure and tragic Avenger of all time, Flux. The two or three most popular Avengers will go through from each group, so you're encouraged to vote tactically, because, yeah, Iron Man is probably going to win this group.
