For real! Like there was a time when there were like four different Avenger titles going on. I'd be for that again because there are so many unused characters in Marvel right now and most of them aren't strong enough to hold a solo title. And that's what the Avengers used to be about. Now only characters with solo titles are worthy of being on the Avengers. That or they have a movie coming up. Vision being the one and only oddball of the current team.
It feels like Marvel would rather just make 5 part mini series with characters before dumping them but doesn't want to make other Avenger teams. This is why C and D list characters don't get popular, they get no exposure. WHERE. IS. JOLT?!

Having read Avengers issue 14 this issue made me realize how much I miss Steve Rogers on the team. Just having him there elevates the Avengers and makes them feel invincible even when they aren't. No other Avenger has this power but Steve. He is just written different.
Was a breath of fresh air so read about other Avengers rather than just the MCU lot.
From last week's FCBD Marvel Voices
That's up to date as of Uncanny Avengers last year! Of course a few of them had different codenames when they first became Avengers (Captain America was Falcon, Photon was Captain Marvel, 3-D Man was Triathlon, and Brawn was just plain Amadeus Cho, he didn't even have his powers yet!)

"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest
