I think 2006-2010 is best exemplified by the cheerful happy Speedball becoming the brooding Penance. And like how suddenly his powers can only be triggered by the 600 painful spikes on the inside of his metal costume when before his powers were like yellow light that could bounce. I gotta say tho there is a special place in my heart for the idiotic Dark Reign storyline where Osborn takes over the government. Dark Avengers and New Avengers with Hank Pym at the lead are awful and the best at the same time and New Avengers: The Reunion I unabashedly love and it is one of the few comics that has ever made me cry.
