Charge of the SOL Avengers

Description

Deep in the snow-covered woods, the henchmen of the evil Ziox cult are up to no good.  But that ends now, for they have come under assault from the greatest heroes bad movies have ever known: the SOL Avengers!



....A picture that is obviously inspired by the imagery in the trailers for Avengers: Age of Ultron.  The shot of all six Avengers leaping through the air...That is the most awesomely-comic-booky scene since...well, since the spin-around shot from the trailers of the first Avengers movie!

But, obviously, this picture doesn't feature Marvel's Avengers.  No, it features a different set of Avengers: the SOL Avengers.  Whereas Marvel's Avengers are a team of heroes gathered from various Marvel movies, the SOL Avengers are a team of heroes gathered from various movies featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.  (Hence the SOL--Satellite of Love--moniker)  From front to back, those heroes are:



The Incredible Tor -- The actor Tor Johnson, veteran of many MST3K movies, including "The Unearthly" "Bride of the Monster" and "The Beast of Yucca Flats."  To say nothing of "Plan 9 From Outer Space."  But really, Tor himself just looks so much like The Hulk that Tor himself can take that roll.

 Jet Jaguar -- From the movie "Godzilla vs Megalon."  In the movie, Jet is a robot that becomes self-aware and fights monsters.  But we all know he's just a guy in a robot suit, which makes him a perfect cipher for Iron Man.  Except no quips....

Longbow -- Johnny "Longbow" Salinas, from "Track of the Moon Beast."  He carries a bow and arrow.  He is Hawkeye.  He's also darned cool.

White Angel -- There needs to be a femme fatale on the team, and luckily MST3K has a movie devoted exclusively to femme fatales:  "Angel's Revenge."  The movie sucks, as do all the characters in it, but one of them will suffice to stand in for Black Widow.

Pumaman -- A guy with a cape and the powers of a god from other worlds.  Am I describing Thor?  Or the premise for the movie "The Pumaman?"  The kicker was that in the official image, Thor looks awkward (because its a freeze-frame of him mid-swing in mid-air) and awkwardly flailing around is the trademark of the Pumaman!

Zap Rowsdower -- He comes to save the day in broken truck...He is the greatest action hero on the team, and he embodies the spirit of a nation...He's basically Captain Canada!  Which makes him the obvious stand-in for Captain America.




All together, they are the SOL Avengers!  Time for some bad-movie vengeance!
