The Avengers Fight Dr. Doom For a Change

Guys, a HUGE tease was just put up on Newsarama, showing The Iron Patriot fighting Dr. Doom, with the title “DARK AVENGERS Meet Their DOOM In December!”
This is so exciting, because I can’t remember the last time the Avengers fought Dr. Doom!
Other than Mighty Avengers #9-#11, last Spring.
Oh, and Dark Avengers #1-#3, this past Spring.
So yeah, that’s only like, a good quarter of the Avengers stories in the past year, that’s it. Not too much.
[By the way, I'm not stupid... I realize the big news is this is kicking off the break-down of Normie's Cabal. I'm just pokin' fun at ya.]

Behind that joke, lies the major problem with the Avengers titles (except Mighty Avengers), monotonous villains. I would love for the current Avengers go against Kang for the umpteen time; at least, it gives them something to focus instead of Osborn. Incidentally, I think it is crazy on how the Green Goblin is depicted as this all powerful villain. I always figure that Green Goblin is powerful, resourceful, and malicious, but not on these levels. If Green Goblin is this powerful, then Spider-Man would had lost life long ago. Even with the suit, no way he can be this powerful, Any thoughts?

I think you’re right, though the bigger point is, Normie is lucky. Super lucky. And keeps spinning things the right way. And like most people in over their head, eventually he’s going to drown. Metaphor!
