The Nerdist article analyzes a hypothetical battle between "Captain America's Avengers" (the classic lineup: Steve Rogers' Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye) and the "New Avengers" (Sam Wilson's Captain America, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Shang-Chi, Ant-Man, Spider-Man, and She-Hulk).
The article argues that while the original Avengers have superior teamwork, experience, and strategic minds (Cap and Iron Man), they would likely lose to the New Avengers.
The primary reasons for the New Avengers' predicted victory are:
- Overwhelming Power Levels: The New Avengers boast members with significantly higher individual power ceilings.
- Scarlet Witch: Her reality-warping chaos magic is presented as a near-unbeatable force, potentially capable of soloing the old team if at full power.
- Doctor Strange: His mastery of the mystic arts offers immense versatility and power that the original team (especially members like Iron Man) would struggle against.
- Captain Marvel: Her cosmic powers provide immense destructive capability and durability.
- Versatility: The combination of cosmic power, advanced magic, size manipulation (Ant-Man), and new skill sets (Shang-Chi with the Ten Rings) presents too many diverse threats for the original team to counter effectively.
- Weaker Links Neutralized: While Black Widow and Hawkeye are skilled, they are outmatched by the powerhouses on the New Avengers roster.
