There’s an unlikely team, clashing personalities, and a massive battle in Manhattan, all classic hallmarks of 2012’s Avengers.
But this is Marvel in a new era, one that’s a little darker and morally gray, just like the Thunderbolts themselves.
These heroes are all too aware of the collateral damage superheroes can cause, so their first priority is limiting civilian casualties.
Kate Bishop’s dad was collateral damage when the Avengers defended New York in 2012, as we saw in Hawkeye.
She was living in a penthouse that was heavily damaged during the Battle of New York, resulting in the loss of her father.
