Marvel Unveils Surprising Avengers Team-Up After 40 Years

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Avengers (2023) #23!

In the latest cosmic saga of the Marvel universe, the most underrated cosmic characters are making an unexpected comeback. These are not the major villains typically associated with the Avengers; rather, they form a quirky ensemble that consistently entertains fans, serving as a delightful callback to Marvel’s rich continuity.

Black Cat and Kang hire Technet to disrupt the Avengers in Avengers (2023) #23

In this issue, Kang the Conqueror enlists the help of Technet to create distractions for the Avengers as part of a larger scheme involving a heist alongside Black Cat. While Technet possesses formidable powers, their real talent lies in their ability to annoy the Avengers just enough to allow Kang’s plan to unfold smoothly.

Technet Makes Their Quirky Return as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Venture into the Universe

Technet first emerged in the pages of Captain Britain. As the story propelled Captain Britain and the ensemble known as Excalibur through various dimensions, Technet became a consistent, albeit unwelcome, presence. Their ongoing presence is notably attributed to co-creator Alan Davis, who was both the illustrator and later the writer of the series.

Interestingly, the dynamics surrounding Technet can be quite fluid; they have a history of collaborating with heroes just as frequently as they’re antagonistic. The team’s motivation usually lies in who is footing the bill.

However, their appearances in recent Marvel narratives have been sporadic at best. Technet has resurfaced for some light-hearted cosmic escapades, yet they lack a defined role in the current landscape of Marvel. This new collaboration with Kang is an ideal application of their talents; they are motivated by profit, and Kang is well aware that their main contribution will be to create inconveniences for the Avengers while he secures his heist.
