With the success of the X-Men and Spider-Man franchises, it seems that all ordinal Marvel Comics superhero has a flick in planning stages. However, Marvel's new superhero teams have a delicate hurdle: they allotment their names with another touristed Hollywood subject: fondly-remembered TV shows. Let's update them apart...

THE AVENGERS
On television: Quirky chain from the sixties, in which the very British John Steed (Patrick Macnee) and various offsiders, together with Cathy Gale (Honore Blackman) and Emma Peel (Diana Rigg), battled many sci-fi goofballs. Best villains: the Cybernauts, a clustering of homicidal robots.
In the comics: Superhero group, published since the sixties, peak normally led by the arrogantly American Captain America. Every Marvel superhero store the X-Men seems to have been an Avenger at a few juncture. Best villain: Ultron, a murderous robot.
Prospects: The humorist content was spun off into a touristy enlivened TV series, but since the dire 1998 big screen (based on the TV prove), the designation "Avengers" is belike box-office substance.

THE DEFENDERS
On television: Riveting 1960s court drama, featuring a father-son fortification squad.
In the comics: Riveting 1970s and 1980s superhero comic, featuring a clump of guys who would natural endowment out together, conflict by and large supernatural bad guys.
Prospects: Some of the comic-book Defenders (including the Hulk and, coming soon, the Sub-Mariner and the Silver Surfer) are merely flick heroes. If they are successful, a team-up is the critical subsequent tactical manoeuvre.

THE INVADERS
On television: Maximum paranoia, '60s mode. David Vincent (Roy Thinnes) had to run away from aliens who welcome to rob terminated the world, masked as humans, time difficult to tip off a skeptical Earth people.
In the comics: Marvel's greatest heroes of World War II - viz. Captain America, the Sub-Mariner and the ingenious Human Torch. While they were all grassroots back in the 1940s, they only worked mutually in a melancholy series, introductory published in the seventies.
Prospects: How active a crossover? Aliens invade Earth and struggle superheroes during World War II? Hey, it could work!

THE CHAMPIONS
On television: Silly (but fun) British superhero order of the sixties.
In the comics: Los Angeles-based superhero array of the decade. One of the archetypal teams to be led by a female person (the Black Widow, a defected Russian spy), along with Ghost Rider, Iceman and others.
Prospects: Neither of them lasted perennial. If a successful TV array (like The Avengers) or laughable wedding album (like Captain America) can explosive device at the movies, who'd impoverishment to pic one of these also-rans?

ALIAS
On television: The adventures of Sydney Bristow, high-school student cum superspy. First shown in 2001; off 2006.
In the comics: The adventures of Jessica Jones, superhero cum officer. First published in 2000; she inactive in 2005.
Prospects: Either would engender a honourable star part for Jennifer Garner. Time to get started!
