The Avengers Auction Gets CHAOTIC (Deadpool, Rogue & More)

The Avengers Auction returns… and this time the roster gets way stranger. In this episode, Corey, Dylan, and Jon continue their ongoing mission to draft every Avenger in Marvel history by spinning a wheel of names and bidding with limited cash. Covering the Jonathan Hickman Avengers era, All-New All-Different Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, and other 2010s lineups, the guys are forced to balance huge stars with some truly obscure wildcard picks. 🦸 Characters up for auction include: Deadpool Rogue Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel Miles Morales Starbrand Ex Nihilo Kaluu Alexis the Protector And many more from Marvel’s weirdest Avengers era As the bids climb higher, strategies begin to fall apart. One major “power move” completely backfires, sending the auction into chaos and changing the direction of the draft. Who builds the best Avengers team? Who wastes their budget on terrible picks? And who gets stuck with the most random roster imaginable?
