Cyclops. Its makes a statement for Mutants, and would strangely be probably the most combustible.

Nightcrawler and Jean Grey are the first that come to mind.
Danielle Moonstar as Valkyrie with the Avengers has always been an idea of mine.
Kitty Pryde joining the brain trust alongside Tony and Reed would be cool too.

I was just pointing out that the Avengers have always been a halfway home for ex-villains to get redeemed. I'm actually kinda bummed Sandman's redemption didn't stick.
That book only lasted a single arc before Secret Wars curtailed it. It's understandable if you don't remember it.
Sabretooth stayed inverted for some time, but after Secret Wars went back to the X books (Uncanny, then Weapon X).

Would love it, and only halfway because of all the heads asploding on the internet.
Ditto. Although, in retrospect, he's also a pretty great Sinister Six member, and occupies a similar niche to Dust, who might not have been as likely if Sandman remained a prominent hero at the time of her creation.
You could make one heck of an Avengers team out of ex-cons or ex-villains or ex-foes.
Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, Wonder Man, Vision (for, like, half a second, but still...), Songbird, Sandman, Namor, Moondragon (Madame MacEvil? Hah!), Ares, Rogue, Deadpool, etc. Thanks to Civil War, half of them, even Captain America, technically count as criminals...
But, back on topic, Angel/Archangel would be interesting. He's another X-peep who is kind of wasted over there, and has gotten some pretty great showings guesting in the Thunderbolts, and experience with other teams like the Defenders and Champions. Even his limited 'Angel' powers are still equal to regular Avengers like the Falcon, and one more power than Hawkeye or Captain America bring to the table.

Cyclops would probably be the most interesting option, given the reaction that might generate.
One thing about Cyke of course, is that he's no longer 100% loyal to the X-Men. He remembers his time displaced adventures, and therefore his membership on the modern Champions. He's probably be more receptive to invitations to join other teams now, as well as positions where he isn't the team leader (he deferred to Jean, Beast, and Ms. Marvel when on the All-New, Blue and Champions teams, not leading any team while in his future).

I think Gambit would make a great fit for a Secret Avengers team, his thievery skills would be of great use for a covert Avengers team.
What about Xorn, a heavy hitter like him would be a great counter point to Thor, similar to Hyperion.
