The Awengers

Marvel Comics has recently announced the creation of an India-specific superhero gang, "The Awengers", on which a new comic book series will be based. The group, which is loosely based on the popular "Avengers" superhero gang, is composed of the following characters:

* Rickshaw-wallah- Getting into his autorickshaw is a deadly mistake for foes...as well as friends.

* Green Goblin- He has a Green Card. Enough said.

* MBBS Woman- She's a doctor, which makes her a superhero by default in South Asian society.

* Indian Railways Bathroom Cleaner- His job title doesn't exist, so he has lots of free time to strategize and plan the group's next move.

* Polly Tix- She's a politician, and her superpower is corruption. She actually bribed her mother to go into labor two weeks later than scheduled, just so she could chill in the womb for a while.

Marvel Comics reportedly thought about adding a sixth member of the Awengers, "Viviacious Vivender", whose superpower was reported to be the ability to pronounce the letter 'V'. Unfortunately, Marvel artists felt this was too unrealistic to be beliewable.
