Above is the 'completed' (hopefully) word search and here's the list of what I found.
- Deadpool - God, I hope not. Has to be a joke.
- Wendell - As in Wendell Vaughn, the cosmic Avenger known as Quasar. This would be interesting and tie into Fred Van Lente's new Avengers book, though this word search seems to imply it's for the Bendis written Avengers.
- Hulk - Unlikely. Actually, with an appearance in the Avengers movie planned, he might be pushed into the Avengers.
- Red Hulk - Again, unlikely.
- Iceman - Odd choice. If it's Bendis, he seems to like writing him in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, so it's not entirely impossible he'd join.
- Taskmaster - If it's Avengers in general, they seem to be implying he is Finesse's (a new character on Avengers Academy) father. He could also be brought on to Secret Avengers to fill a merc-like role or other black ops dealings.
- Rogue - She was recently benched from active duty on the X-Men by Cyclops for letting Hope fight during Second Coming. With her past with Ms. Marvel, it seems like a good dynamic could be established with her on the team.
- Hellstrom - As in Daimon Hellstrom, the son of Satan and currently appearing in New Avengers. With the magic slant on that title, he seems like a lock based on the names I've found in this word search.
- Venom - Highly unlikely.
- Quake - Nick Fury's current right hand woman and leader of the Secret Warriors. Not sure if she'll join or not. Be an interesting choice.
- Bendis - Nooooooo!!
- Kimota - What is this? Kimota? I don't know any "Kimota". Wait a minute. Someone has a magic word like that. Who was it again? Oh yeah, Marvelman. Marvel hasn't done anything with Marvelman since aquiring the rights (well, they have some really old reprints recently launched, but nothing new and no news on Moore/Gaiman reprints yet), but are they willing to fold him into the Avengers to, I suppose, replace Sentry? We all know they want to do something with Marvelman, but is Bendis going to tackle him first?
Reader Finds
- Clor - I actually skipped him since he's sort of dead.
- Hood - Didn't notice this one. I'll blame it on his name officially being "The Hood" for my missing it, ahaha.
- Molly - As in Molly Hayes, the Runaways character in the bottom corner. I looked forever for her name thinking if she's on the page she'd be in the puzzle, but couldn't find it until a commenter pointed it out.
- Eon - Didn't pick up on this one either, but he could possibly appear to annoint a new Protector of the Universe, like say Noh-Varr.
- Rom - The Space Knight. Seems to be caught up in copyright problems, though a certain Marvelman was last year. Possible announcement for Comic-Con about the rights and reprints forthcoming?
- "Goblin" - Little lacking in any specifics, but could refer to Green Goblin or Hobgoblin or Demogoblin or the dozen other Goblins floating around the Marvel Universe. Maybe Phil Urich will return as the good Green Goblin? Who knows.

Probably Deadpool. After all, what would Marvel be if they didn't try and dump him into as many teams as possible, Wolverine style?
I myself place my hopes on 'Rithell' and 'Molupar'.
Clor is on there. Not sure if it counts since h'es a robot/clone and dead (or as dead as comic book robot clones can be).
I don't think I could handle Marvelman being folded into the 616 universe. It'd be like Batman paling around with Rorschach.
I also spot Molly, Hood, Clor and Eon.
It could just be random noise, but there's a backwards "Bug" in the top right corner. He could be a member with Quasar of a Cosmic Avengers team.
Four lines up from the bottom, it says "LW has come". It's the return of Len Wein! Or of Logan Wayne - Dark Claw - from "Marvel vs. DC"! Or the emergence of Lauren Wolfe, a member of the Black Team in "Secret Warriors"!
@JonesHawkeye - I looked for Molly everywhere after seeing her in the corner and couldnt find her until you mentioned it now. Didnt notice the Hood either. Left Clor out intentionally and not notice Eon. I'll add them to the list.
I'm betting it's either Rogue or Hellstrom. I think it would be a little weird to have Rogue on the team...I don't think she fits there. Too much drama for an Avengers book.
Hellstrom would make total sense, I would like that.
Goblin is in there too.
Son is also listed right above Hellstorm. Maybe 1 of the Next Avengers will come back with the Avengers?
I was going to mention Bug, but I see someone has beaten me to it.
Also, in Hellstrom, it also includes "ROM"
ROM would be big news (on par with Marvelman), but unlikely due to the legal issues.
Bendis shouldn't write Miracl... ehh, Marvelman. He would ruin the character forever IMO.
col 11;row 4; read down: GOBLIN
@acespot & Anon 9 - I noticed teh Goblin word, but didn't think it was really worth mentioning since it's not a specific Goblin mentioned (Green/Hob/etc). I suppose we could get Norman as some kind of Hannibal Lector type of character (ie they pump him for information inside his cell or some such), but other than that, there's not really anything tangible to it. However, I'll add it to the list since it is unlikely they just randomly had a goblin word show up.
I know Venom is unlikely, but isn't he the only Dark Avenger that got no conclusion; the only one who didn't resist arrest in some way, and the only one who was willing to play nice with his teammates?
I dunno, sometimes I wish Bendis were to put Mac Gargan in the New Avengers just to conclude that "medication makes Gargan meek" plotline.
I see "Mogo" in there! DC/Marvel crossover!
My money's on the Dalai Lama - second line, 'Lama' See??? Obvious really.
Bug is their too, written backwards on the top row. He's currently with the Guardians of the Galaxy but maybe he'd be made an avenger.
ATTS Says
All signs point to Galactic (Infinity Gauntlet GoG/Annihilation, Space Hulk allies) or Mystical Avengers:
Hellstrom is mention on Van Pente's Q+A on his blog. Lots to mull over there. LOVES Gerber, the new team is like a D&D party.
