A diverse team of heroes unite when Earth is threatened and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are in deep space! Mighty Avengers includes Luke Cage, Spider-Man, She-Hulk, Falcon, Blue Marvel, Power Man and Monica Rambeau now code-named Spectrum.

There’s a Ronin on the roster. Echo (Maya Lopez) and Hawkeye (Clint Barton) wore the Ronin identity during the New Avengers era.

 

Who is the new Ronin?

 

“Ronin is the character find of 2013. We batted around some ideas for him with putting on the Ronin suit. We’ll find out in issue #1 why we can’t know who he is. I feel like even revealing his gender I’ve said too much. This is the man who will be Ronin. His mystery will be explored in the first year,” said Mighty Avengers writer Al Ewing.
