In the cover of The Fearless Defenders # 5 it reveals the whole roster, not also that but, it's making a homage of Street Fighter. Plus Valkyrie vs She-Hulk, Take a look yourself...

The team includes:

Misty Knight

Thundra

Black Widow

Hellcat

Tigra

She-Hulk

Storm

Spider-Woman

Black Cat

Elektra

Valkyrie

Ms. Marvel

Hippolyta

Colleen Wing

Victoria Hand or Tarantula (Vasquez) (I'm not sure which one is it?)

Moonstar

Uhm hello, I am almost confident that that is NOT the entire roster, its just a cover. Those characters will be appearing in that issue (which can actually be rare in comics for characters on covers to definitely appear), but no one should expect all those characters to appear regularly in the series as team members. My reasoning, is that the writer has explained as much, and also covers are covers are covers, its never safe to assume what they might mean. They are often misleading on purpose if not by accident. I actually love all those characters but is a bit too big for a ongoing cast anyway. Oh that and more characters are set to appear over time to - the books success dependent.

If half of them actually join the roster i'll be happy as hell, right now the only reason im reading it is because of valkyrie, sadly i couldnt give two **** about misty and danny

Omg I can't handle this overwhelming information /faint

BLACK CAT YESSSSSSS

So happy to see Victoria alive :D Her death really bummed me out at the end of New Avengers! :) Hopefully she'll end up being more bad ass and in the action then she was in New Avengers.

Only girls I don't see that I wanna see is Agent 13 and Sersi.

Also are you sure thats Victoria Hand and not say Maria Vasquez?

Agreed. I haven't seen anything to suggest that this will be the roster.

Best female roster ever, hell this is one of the best rosters ever. Too bad they don't have her:

Personally, I think they need to stay away from characters that are in multiple books. But I do love how the artist is paying homage to fighting games.

Hmm --- having read through the posts here, clearly this is a one-off. Cool cover though, I will give them that. As for considering all these characters part of the roster -- no. It's supposed to be just cameos and whatnot, last I checked from the writer (as was mentioned earlier in this thread).

HEY!! Moonstar is one of the BEST characters in Marvel! And her name is spelled Dani not Danny!

I just fell in love with Mark Brooks' art all over again.

i redirect you to the second part of my statement.

@DH69: the part in which you misspelled the character's name (which was corrected in the second part of papad's statement)?

Me confuzed!

@evilvegeta74: Who is that?

That's not the roster, the writer said in an interview that only characters that weren't on any other team would be on the actual Fearless team, however anyone could make an guest appearance.

Magik!

totally had the same thoughts as you on the character with the red and black hair, but i think its Tarantula because Victoria Hand is currently dead (i know that doesnt mean much these days) and Victoria is rarely seen with her glasses and is kinda of a non-combatatn. dont get me wrong, i know she can fight, but this cover is based off of fighting games. i find it hard to believe the artist/whoever chose this cover would have Ms. Hand against all these other heroes that could tune her
