That's a Star Brand Cro-Magnon
edit - beaten by Slayven like he was Hank Pym.
If you have a problem with it you can be sure Jason Aaron will write you into his comic so he can have his author inserts tell you why you're stupid.
This run has a lot if fun ideas, but it's also kinda boring.
I like the idea of Ancient Avengers, but, last I checked, they're appearances are far and few between.
Blade and Ghost Rider are the best parts of the modern day team.

The timeline is really screwed up for the sake of "One million years ago there were Avengers" thing. Like, aren't humans supposed to date back to only 300 thousand or so years ago? The Celestials were probably messing around earlier than then, sure, but then you've got to have the whole Eternals and Deviants thing going on, which evidently has happened already if Thanos is there. And it messes with Thanos as well. Being an Eternal, I'm sure he was always hundreds, if not thousands of years old, but being over a million just makes him look a bit on the pathetic side, just screwing around for so long and getting nothing done until recently. Plus I'm pretty sure he was an adult when he separated from the rest of the Titan Eternals, but I don't even know anymore.
The First Avengers vs Puberty first hit Thanos. They didn't go into details be evidentally it was a route. I mean how could it not be with The Phoenix, Ghost Rider, Starbrand, and Odin
my mistake thats Odin who also alone can defeat Thanos.
I don't get why writers like Aaron and Bendis are so allergic to continuity. It's not like they're crafting stories of such magnitude that they smoothly replace whatever it is they're rewriting; it usually just annoys the hardcores because they didn't want to check the wiki on how this decades old shared universe works.
If continuity were an albatross around the neck then the MCU, defined by making you go watch an Ant-Man movie to keep up to date, wouldn't be the most popular thing in the world.

I don't think Thanos was ever this old, before this page. The Eternals were created around this point, but there was still a lot of stuff before Thanos.
OK, that explains dwarf Thor.
But, why are Sub-mariner wearing a towel, Moondragon and Darkwolf from Fire & Ice there?
It's a comic book. They're just having fun with a prehistoric Avengers, which is a pretty amusing concept. I mean, c'mon - they just wanted an excuse for Ghost Rider to ride a mammoth, silly things like that.
You don't really need to try to fit it into the actual Marvel universe chronology because you'll just end up going mad trying to figure out how Agamotto was running around a million years ago even though he was only born 25000 years ago.
Think the artist fucked up Starbrand
lol they just literally drew Red Hulk
It's a story set in a universe with defined rules and continuity that certain writers don't want to follow.
If you just want to do your own thing with no regard for how it fits why the heck are you writing a Marvel book?
So what's Mephisto's master plan? He's been whispering in the ears of these big bad guys. But for what reason?
I don't really have an issue with caveman Avengers really, but you can achieve the same thing much more believably with just saying 25,000 BC or even 100,000 BC. A million years ago was probably picked because it sounded cool, but it really it doesn't make sense from either an in-universe sense (and being a connected continuity is a main draw for 616 Marvel) or for actual human evolutionary history. Like, Neandertals hadn't even diverged at that point most likely. And then you've got the notion that Wakanda (who aren't homo sapiens now?), K'un-L'un, Odin, and Thanos were just twiddling their thumbs for literally a million years.
"Sub-Mariner" is Agamotto the Sorcerer Supreme, "Moondragon" is the original Iron Fist, and these are all original characters do not steal.
Bloodborne next gen graphics looking aiightJust add flames (bonus points; it's not a wagon, it's a hearse);
Marvel, just give us a limited series for Avengers of 1,000,000 BC already.
That's totally intentional, a prehistoric Hulk.

Is that the Phoenix?
And Conan?
edit: Guess it's Black Panther. That makes sense.
Marvel rather give you Venom and X Men again like it's 1992.
