Trivia

Tentative plans for a additional episodes featured Hawkeye's return to the carnival where he grew up as well as an episode that explores how the Scarlet Witch discovered her powers. Plans also included guest appearances by the X-Men, which would have utilized the Toronto-based cast from the 90s series since a few of them already worked on this show, and Dr. Robert Bruce Banner (a.k.a. The Incredible Hulk) was supposed to appear to help the team when Henry Pym/Ant Man fell ill to gamma radiation exposure during a fight with the villain Egg-Head, and a two-part episode featuring Thor and his brother Loki (there was even a Thor toy made for the show's line of action figures). However, all plans were scrapped when the show did not return for a second season.

User Reviews

Terrible adaption

That series is really terrible.It has the worst elements from the comics of the 90's:armor instead of super-hero suits,deformed-looking characters (Wonder Man muscles are twice or three times his head) and simplistic plots.Although the comic in which is based,West Coast Avengers,was good,sometimes even better than the main series,they completely ignore it and make a mix between super-heroes and power rangers,with Ant Man and the Wasp using combat armors and even including the usual ridiculous suit change sequence.The amazing thing about this series is not that it only lasted 13 episodes,but that they didn't cancel it sooner,probably because the didn't have any replacement yet.
