Well, I thought the X-Men thread went pretty well, so I'm gonna do one for the Avengers now. Expect one for the Fantastic Four soon, followed by Thunderbolts, followed by maybe something else if I can think of something. Anyways, since the last one didn't say as far as this was concerned, I'm gonna put a limit of 6 members on these teams. That's right, Gyrich rules. And if it's not too much to ask, explain why you want said member (I'm thinking I might have to bump the X-Men thread or re-do it since I'm adding all these rules.) And now, here's mine: Thor: He'd be the leader, because he's one of the classic members. Plus, he's f***ing Thor. Do the math. Captain America (Bucky): What can I say? Bucky/Winter Soldier has been one of my favorite characters since he returned, and making him Captain America was something that I definitely liked. Avengers need a Captain America as far as I'm concerned, so Bucky's definitely in. Hulk: Screw all those times he was an "interim" member or an "associate" member: If Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Doctor Strange, and Wolverine are going to join the Avengers officially, then so is The Hulk. But, personally I'd prefer Professor Hulk on my team. Or, at least not Savage Hulk. That wouldn't end well. Quicksilver: For all of his temporary insanity/evil, Quicksilver has been a pretty solid member of the team. Plus, he's in my top 10 favorite comic characters. So, he's in. Ronin (Hawkeye): Okay, Hawkeye = Cool. Ninjas = Cool. Ninja Hawkeye = AWESOME. I'll admit, he's a bit of a spot-filler, but whatever. Mockingbird: Again, spot-filler, just because Hawkeye/Ronin is there. Plus, up until now this team has been a sausage fest. And the female members of the Avengers haven't exactly been that great IMO. At least, the ones that can be used here. Scarlet Witch was good, but since they made her crazy and all-powerful.........I'm not touching that one with a 50 foot poll...because she'd probably turn it into a snake. Alright, people, your turn!

Let's see, right off, I'd have to immediately exclude the walking, talking plot device and her whiny bitch of a brother, so that makes this easier.
Captain America(The REAL one): He has to be in it. To me, the Avengers just aren't the Avengers without Steve Rogers in the driver's seat.
Thor:See Cap.
Hawkeye/Ronin: Either disguise he chooses to use, the dude is a great character.
Carol Danvers: Probably the definitive female Avenger to me.
Jessica Drew: Another great character, and a perennial favorite.
Luke Cage: Probably my 2nd favorite character Marvel's had in 2008, with his buddy Iron Fist taking the number one spot.
Justice and Firestar: I enjoyed their brief time in the team in the 90's. Justice is a very underrated character to me.
The Vision: This is pure favoritism on my part. I'm a mark for the Vision.
oh, and The Falcon. You've GOTTA have The Falcon.

This isn't the Thunderbolts one. I only see one former Thunderbolt in that list. True, but all are villains/former villains, are they not? The whole point of the Thunderbolts is to take a group of villains and make a hero team. I know the Avengers have had villains trying to redeem themselves/redeemed villains, but the whole team being villains/former villains just can't end well.

Rambeau and Machine Man are both licensed Avengers members already. Constrictor's already reformed and is a trainer for the Avengers' Initiative program. That just leaves Diamondback, long since reformed and has a long history with Avenger Captain America; Baron Zemo, who has also since more or less reformed, and the Rhino, who has been shown in the future as being an Avenger in at least a couple of different alternate realities.

Leader: Baron Zemo-Redeemed himself and the guy is a damn good leader
Taskmaster-When you need someone that can hit someone hard as hell in about a million different ways
Spiderman-I love Spidey and the interactions between him Gravity, and Taskmaster would be awesome
Gravity-Kids awesome, has a very useful power, is a hero through and through. Deserves to be a Avenger
Fixer-Teams need a techie guy and Fixer is one of the pot techie guys. Plus he's a guy who Zemo has direct experience with.
Echo-I love the girl, what can I say?

Oh this is easy, I actually have something like this written up on my computer:
1. Cap, obviously. Steve Rogers...although, you know, I like the possibilities of Bucky being the team leader. You know, screw it, Bucky's the team leader.
2. Second in Command? Doc Strange. Bucky needs someone that's..."normal" in a sense and Doc Strange I feel is the person to do it.
3. Thor. Thor is the rock of the Avengers. Always has been, always will be.
4. Spider-man. The guy's adaptable, which is something the Avengers always need. Plus I need a snarking partner for number six.
5. Echo. I love her, what can I say? I feel in love with her on Daredevil, and it's been a love affair ever since.
6. And finally my out of left field choice to lead the stupid Avengers...Deadpool. Yes it seems random, but the guy knows how to get it done as long as...you know this is for pure comic effect. Hell, you know what? Replace Echo with M.O.D.O.K. I just want to see what happens with these two in the same room together.

My picks:
1) Cap. I'd like to see how Bucky deals with having to fill Cap's shoes as team leader.
2) Thor. Stepping in as the real heart of the team without Steve Rogers. Real heavy-hitter.
3) Ronin. Doesn't really fit in anywhere else, needs to be around to keep Bucky in place (I see a lot of arguing betwen them...).
4) She-Hulk. Another powerhouse.
5) Wasp. Group needs a brain, Hank Pym fits the bill.
6) Sandman. I'm probably the only guy around that liked him as a provisional member of the Avengers.

Leader: Deadpool. I think it will be intresting seeing Deadpool leading and handling a team dynamic.
2: Iron Man Deadpool: Deadpool steals Tony Stark's suit. I think it will be intresting to see how Deadpool handles such power.
3: Dead Man Wade: Filler.
4: 'Poolboy: Teenage member of the group. Here to let the readers relate to such a studious, exceptional youth.
5: Wolverine: Tied up in the basement. Constantly being tortured. Because it's fun.
6: Weasel: Because I... Deadpool... needs someone to stab when things go wrong and we good and well can't have Bob in the Avengers. Speaking of Bob....
Main Enemy: Bob Agent of Hydra. Bob said he didn't like this idea. I said that as a Hydra agent he's a natural fit. We'll meet up once a month, beat the hell out of him, then all go home to collect our pay checks. We do get paid for this right?

I know this'd never work, but...its an (oooooooh aaaaaah) ALTERNATE REALITY so just go with it.
In MY dimension, the Avengers are actually the Revengers.....no wait that name sounds stupid. They're still the Avengers, but the team has a bit of a dark attitude as they've all got assorted chips on their shoulders and have no patience for their enemies, or one another, only existing as a team to unleash the most painful justice on their collective enemies as possible.
1 - Leader: The Punisher, Frank Castle. Why? No one can put together an impromptu plan like this man except for John "Hannibal" Smith, but he's dead. Sure, most of his plans consist of "Go inside, kill everything, leave." but they don't often fail.
2 - The Hulk
3 - Wolverine
4 - Ghost Rider
5 - Captain America (Steve Rogers raised from the dead, none of this Winter Soldier crap. Of course that very well may've already happened as I just don't read comics all that much.)
6 - Venom
