** Quentin is able to get a good read on everyone's powers, or lack of. For Gwen, he only says she has an "unknown power."
** To the confusion of everyone else, Gwen is able to grab 200 of Quentin's wet towels and put them in his room in a short amount of time. This is likely a reference to how Gwen has been able to reach into past or future panels and take things from them.

''West Coast Avengers'' is a 2018 comic series sharing the title and basic premise of the 1985-1994 comic series [[ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers of the same name]], written by Kelly Thompson (who previously worked on ''ComicBook/HawkeyeKateBishop'') and drawn by Stefano Caselli (who has worked with Marvel in the past, including ''ComicBook/CivilWar: ComicBook/YoungAvengers[=/=]ComicBook/{{Runaways}}''). It's part of Creator/MarvelComics' [[ComicBook/MarvelAFreshStart Fresh Start]] initiative.
This team consists of:
* [[ComicBook/KateBishop Hawkeye]] II (Kate Bishop) - The one who calls everyone together, having noticed all the supervillains migrating to LA.
* ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} I (Clint Barton) - The TokenAdult, and the only member of the old team to be part of the new.
* ComicBook/{{Gwenpool}} (Gwen Poole) - Plucky D-lister trying to make a name for herself in the new universe she resides in.
* ComicBook/AmericaChavez - Inter-dimensional lesbian Latina college student and all-around powerhouse, and Kate's bestie.
* Kid Omega (Quentin Quire) - Psionic mutant, a punk rocker who's angry and has switched sides, but is on the side of good right now.
* Fuse (Johnny) - Kate's boyfriend, in way over his head. But then again, so is Kate.
The basic premise is that Kate Bishop, having operated on her own in Los Angeles for a while, has noticed that the famously meta-lite city has been invaded by supervillains looking to make a name for themselves in the comparatively less competitive market. Realizing she can't do this all by herself, she enlists the help of anyone willing to join. Thankfully, she's made some friends in the past, and some heroes out there are looking to get big.
The only problem? They don't have any money. To alleviate this, they must also take part in a reality TV show where they live under the same roof. Hijinx ensue, naturally.
