With the happening of the X-Men and Spider-Man franchises, it seems that all ordinal Marvel Comics superhero has a motion-picture show in readying stages. However, Marvel's remaining superhero teams have a thin hurdle: they share their traducement near other grassroots Hollywood subject: fondly-remembered TV shows. Let's speak about them apart...
THE AVENGERS
On television: Quirky ordering from the sixties, in which the frightfully British John Steed (Patrick Macnee) and assorted offsiders, together with Cathy Gale (Honore Blackman) and Emma Peel (Diana Rigg), battled many sci-fi goofballs. Best villains: the Cybernauts, a posy of bloody robots.
In the comics: Superhero group, published since the sixties, best oft led by the self-importantly American Captain America. Every Marvel superhero prevention the X-Men seems to have been an Avenger at some instance. Best villain: Ultron, a murderous automaton.
Prospects: The slapstick comedian narrative was spun off into a working class animated TV series, but since the unspeakable 1998 big screen (based on the TV concert), the first name "Avengers" is probably box-office pollutant.
THE DEFENDERS
On television: Riveting 1960s room drama, featuring a father-son safeguard team.
In the comics: Riveting 1970s and 1980s superhero comic, featuring a clump of guys who would droop out together, active on the whole magical bad guys.
Prospects: Some of the comic-book Defenders (including the Hulk and, coming soon, the Sub-Mariner and the Silver Surfer) are at one time moving-picture show heroes. If they are successful, a team-up is the rational adjacent pace.

THE INVADERS
On television: Maximum paranoia, '60s panache. David Vincent (Roy Thinnes) had to run distant from aliens who yearned-for to embezzle complete the world, covert as humans, spell annoying to put on alert a sceptical Earth people.
In the comics: Marvel's greatest heroes of World War II - that is to say Captain America, the Sub-Mariner and the imaginative Human Torch. While they were all undemanding pay for in the 1940s, they simply worked both in a regretful series, basic published in the 1970s.
Prospects: How give or take a few a crossover? Aliens invade Earth and engagement superheroes during World War II? Hey, it could work!
THE CHAMPIONS
On television: Silly (but fun) British superhero progression of the sixties.
In the comics: Los Angeles-based superhero array of the 1970s. One of the firstborn teams to be led by a female person (the Black Widow, a defected Russian spy), along with Ghost Rider, Iceman and others.
Prospects: Neither of them lasted drawn-out. If a proud TV phase (like The Avengers) or humorous folder (like Captain America) can explosive device at the movies, who'd poverty to show one of these also-rans?
