    Much like the first Red Tornado mini-series ages ago (art by Infantino)....Bleech Reddy is a character that just can't carry a series, even a 4 issue one. He's best left as a supporting character.

        ^ The Kree-Skrull War ran in Avengers from #89-97....the issue where Ant-Man went inside the Vision's robot body was #93.

          I'd probably have to go with The Vision. He's part of the classic late '70's to early 80's Avengers line-up that was so cool. But then Perez went from The Avengers over to the JLA and did some cool stuff that included the Red Tornado. Tornado always struck me as flat and blank. There never really was anything done with him except the elemental angle. I read the Infantino 4-issue mini and Meltzer's JLA relaunch. (I never bought his argument that Red Tornado was the true heart and soul of the League. In my mind it was always J'onn J'onzz. The guy who didn't even try to look human. I think Meltzer made a conscious decision about Tornado, and maybe it was inspired by TNG's Data. Of course, maybe he was looking at the League during the Modern Age, after the Manhunter had left and returned to Mars. The Manhunter's had a huge amount of resugence over the last few years.) But, I would still go with The Vision. The whole love triangle with Wanda and Simon. (I'm sure that's one of the reasons why she's nuts - she probably made the whole thing with Viz possible, along with the "kids")
