Super Showdown<br />
Ranking the Marvel moneymakers<br />
n How successful was The Avengers? It made<br />
nearly as much money as Iron Man and Iron Man<br />
2 combined. And in turn, the Iron Man series<br />
dwarfs its competition with Thor, which narrowly<br />
summoned more cash than Captain America.<br />
Alas, poor Hulk is still the Avengers’ weakest link<br />
(that is, if you’re already discounting Black Widow<br />
and Hawkeye from getting their own solo<br />
projects), but Joss Whedon’s genius recasting of<br />
Mark Ruffalo as good-natured, if hot-tempered,<br />
Bruce Banner has reawakened interest in giving<br />
the Hulk his third star turn in a decade.<br />
