Great Lakes Avengers - A subdivision of Marvel Comics' Avengers Franchise

Celebrating 6 Years on the Web
By 1989, the Avengers had been around for over 25 years and the West Coast branch had been established for over 4 years. It was time for the mid-west to get some protectors... even if they weren't of the same caliber as the other teams. Enter: the Great Lakes Avengers! The team consists of Mr. Immortal (team leader), Doorman, Flatman, Big Bertha, and Dinah Soar and has made a few appearances here and there since they were introduced sixteen years ago. They might not be card-carrying Avengers and they might not have their own Avengers Quinjet or Avengers Mansion, but this team works hard and has joined the big leagues on a few missions.
G.L.A. Mini Series to Launch in April 2005
	2005 is the year of the Great Lakes Avengers. For their sweet sixteen birthday party, they're finally getting their own bonafide Marvel mini-series! Written by Dan Slott with art by Paul Pelletier, this mini spins out of the events of "Avengers Disassembled". Four issues of ridiculousness that you've been waiting forever for! You can't pass this one up. Oh ... and one of the GLA is going to bite the bullet ... and I'm not talking about Mr. Immortal.
