Ant-Man - Goliath / Tom Foster
Wasp - Unstoppable Wasp / Nadia
Captain America - Diamondback or Patriot / Eli Bradley
Quicksilver - Speed / Tommy Shepard
Scarlet Witch - Ebony (Agatha Harkness' cat!)
Hawkeye - No idea here... (Kate Bishop has been a West Coast Avenger, and Mockingbird obviously is out)
I like this idea, an Avengers team that, for reasons, has to be made up of Avengers-adjacent folk who've never actually been Avengers, even, as in the case of people like Stature, Wiccan, Hulkling or Kate Bishop/Hawkeye, relatively briefly.
