And if I'm misremembering, and Crystal wasn't an Avenger then, than #369 is just Quicksilver (with Crystal). 'Avengers' #376 is just Crystal.

Although actually, it isn't really Cap, it's Rick's memory of the Golden-Age (and therefore pre-Avengers) Cap. So technically, this may be the only Avengers cover with no Avengers on the cover, at least until the Jarvis solo cover that someone else already mentioned.

Ah! This would explain my confusion. Because Jonathan Crane (that's Gotham's Scarecrow's mundane name, right?) was my second guess after reading clue #1 (my first was Phobia), and then the subsequent clues threw me for a loop. Especially Umberto the Uncanny! "That surely sounds like something Stan the Man would make up, methinks. So it can't be the Scarecrow ... but wait, it IS the Scarecrow?!?"

I got Scarecrow with clue number 2. Cover theme game: The theme is gender bending. At one point or another one of these characters has "changed sexes" in some way: Spidergirl is basically a female version of Spiderman (I know it's his daughter, but it's a suit customarily worn by a man). If I'm not mistaken I've just seen a cover with a female Nova on it (and I believe there has been female Nova's in the past). And Guy Gardner was turned into a woman for one issue of his Warrior run. Snark free challange: She controls probability and chance, and because of that controls reality. Also something about magic. Who is it?

It has other characters than Captain America, but rather than floating heads, they're on posters on the wall behind him. Does that slip through a loophole? How about Avengers #16 for the cover game?
