Slingers: The Team I Couldn’t Remember

On Comic Book Noise 219, I mentioned a superhero team in passing but I couldn’t remember the exact name. All I could remember at the time was they were involved with Spider-Man somehow.

The team was called The Slingers. They had their own title in the late 1990s.

Hornet:

Prodigy:

Ricochet:

The members used costumes and names that were used by Spider-Man during the Identity Crisis crossover, which of course has nothing to do with the DC Comics event.

I put controversial in quotes, because it sounds really cool to me and I can’t understand why anybody would complain about it.

The title only lasted until issue #12 and hasn’t been traded, but the Spider-Man: Identity Crisis storyline has been collected, but good luck finding it for a decent price.
