Jeremy Renner, the man known as Hawkeye, has posted a crop of concept images to his Twitter account. Aside from showing off Hawkeye's new duds, the images give us our first official look at both of Civil War's superhero teams. As always, if you don't want to know who's on Team Iron Man or Team Cap, avert thine eyes and scoot on out of here.In the comics, the Civil War storyline springs out of a disagreement between Captain America and Iron Man over superhero identities. Iron Man believes these human weapons should be licensed and regulated, whereas good ol' Steve Rogers thinks people, even superpowered ones, should be free to follow their own path.
In Iron Man's corner we have War Machine, Black Widow, The Vision, and Black Panther. Cap's roster consists of Hawkeye, Ant-Man (who can be spotted perched on Hawkeye's shoulder), Sharon Carter, Falcon and Bucky Barnes AKA The Winter Soldier. Scarlet Witch and Spider-man are missing in action, but from previous info we know Spider-Man will be slinging webs and one-liners for Team Iron Man, whilst Scarlet Witch will lend her mind-bending talents to Captain America.
The most interesting thing about these pieces of art is Black Panther's spot on Iron Man's team - it was previously thought the king of Wakanda would be a neutral party. In fact, Tony's team is looking pretty stacked - he's got two superpowered cybernetic war machines, the godlike Vision, Shield's finest, Spidey, and Black Panther, who --if he's anything like the character in the comics-- is a tactical genius.
We'll find out if Cap and company can hold their own next summer. In the meantime, let me know who you think'll come out up top in the comments section below.
