A new Smasher, named Isabel Kane, appears as a member of the Avengers in the Marvel NOW! relaunch. Her name was originally given as "Isabel Dare", but the collected edition of her first appearance said her surname was "Kane". According to editor Tom Brevoort, this change was deliberate; he even stated that "Dare was a mistake in the first place," as the character was intended to be Captain Terror's granddaughter from her first appearance. Yet more Smashers, operating directly under Imperial control, appear in the 'Infinity' crossover.

The Smasher
The Smasher (later shortened to just Smasher) was a British comic strip, published in the British comic '' The Dandy''. The title character was a boy with a tendency to destroy things and who was reminiscent of Dennis The Menace from '' The Beano'', though when he destroyed things it usually tended to be by accident rather than design. Initially Smasher had a bright red hairstyle that was similar to that of Dennis, though it soon changed to being black. He wore a similar sort of jumper to Roger the Dodger, albeit it is a diamond pattern rather than chequered pattern. The strip was first drawn by Hugh Morren in 1958, who drew it until 1984, when Dave Gudgeon took over. He drew the strip until 1986, after which the strip was handed over to Brian Walker, around the time "The" was dropped from the title. Walker made some changes to the character, giving Smasher a more teenaged look, a slightly longer hairstyle and a jacket in place of his jumper; his attitude was also toned down ...
