Who do you consider to be most "Avengery" Avengers??

[dreyga2000]

Now a days it seems that anyone can be an Avenger, looking at you Castle, but there are certain characters that more "Avengery" the guys who pop in your head as classic or mainstays. Obviously Cap, Stark and Thor. However I guess this varies depending on what era you may have grown up with. In your mind who are the Avengers??

For me

Captain America
Thor
Iron-Man
Ant-Man
Wasp
Hulk
She-Hulk
Black Widow
Captain Marvel (Carol)
Black Panther
Vision
Wonderman
Spectrum
Scarlet Witch
Quicksilver
Hawkeye

[Snoop Dogg]

Captain America
Thor
Iron Man
Hank Pym
Wasp
Beast
Black Widow

Quicksilver
Hawkeye
Falcon
Hercules
Jocasta
Jane Foster
Spider-Woman
Tigra
Mockingbird

...

JARVIS!

Besides the founders Cap, Thor, Wasp, etc.), I generally consider early Avengers without a long lasting solo title that have been prominent fixtures of the comic (Hawkeye, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Beast). Monica Rambeau is another that always comes to mind, as she was a team leader when I first started reading comics and appeared in the ads found in my Transformers and G.I. Joe books.

[XPac]

I'd go largely with the George Perez era of the Avengers.

Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Wasp, and Beast (even though I know he's more an X-Men than Avenger).

This is probably the most accurate criteria one could use to answer this question, but I might revise it to say whether they were prominent fixtures or not.

The first name that comes to me is Hawkeye. Not the real Hawkeye. The other one. Clint Barton.

If we roll the tape, it says otherwise. Just after the one minute mark.

The Vision is to the Avengers what The Martian Manhunter is to the Justice League Of America.

[XPac]

The Vision is to the Avengers what The Martian Manhunter is to the Justice League Of America.

Sort of sad that both those guys are finding themselves on the outside looking in these days. They're almost too similar.

As Jarvis states in Roger Stern's great "Faithful Servant" (Avengers #280):

Jarvis: "There have been so many Avengers over the years. Some stayed so briefly, it is hard to even remember them. Hercules, the Beast, the Falcon, Hellcat, poor Ms. Marvel...I tried to serve them all well, to make their stays as pleasant as possible. After all. The life of an Avenger is not easy."

The truth of the matter is that the Avengers were this team that was a dumping ground for Marvel. Characters not big enough to sell their own title, not interesting enough in their own corners (supporting casts, rogues gallery) and who were always second banana to the Fantastic Four and the X-Men. So there's nothing really Avengers-y about anyone. They took in villains, some of whom reformed (Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow) and others who didn't (Sandman of Spider-Man fame, yeah) and then you have Hank Pym.

Ha, and that's why I gravitated to the Avengers. Yeah, they were the characters that didn't sell well enough or were second fiddle to the Fantastic Four and especially the X-Men. Thus, there was an underdog quality about them. Hell, you could make the argument that the big 3, Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor, were underdogs as well for many years especially when compared to Spider-Man. But, somehow, someway, this group were "Earth's Mightiest Heroes." That's what made me an Avengers fan.

But I digress. My Avenger-y Avengers are:

Captain America
Thor
Iron Man
Hawkeye
Vision
Scarlet Witch
Wonder Man
Black Panther
Wasp
Hank Pym
Black Widow
Hulk (Maybe. I've always considered the Hulk to be his own thing.)
Jarvis


To me, that's a core Avengers team.

[dreyga2000]

Add Jarvis to mine. Gawd so ashamed that I forgot Jarvis.

And to add on to that AVENGERS MANSION is the HEADQUARTERS... Accept no substitutes...
