The Avengershave had literally dozens of prescribed members over its nearly 60 - class account . Some are iconic , likeIron Man , Thor , andCaptain America . Others are decidedly less so , likeDoctor Druid , Triathlon , and an honest - to - goodnessDoombot . However , one of the weirdest ( and shortest - last ) iteration of the mighty unity only lasted a few issues before disbanding again .
The Avengers ’ original “ unearthly ” phallus were those who belong to “ Cap ’s Kooky Quartet , ” a trio of unbelievable anti - heroes who had only appeared a handful of meter amount gathered together under Captain America ’s command . Assembled in Avengers # 16 , this group was compose of : Hawkeye , a reluctant scoundrel under the tutelage of the Swordsman ; and the villainMagneto’schildren , theScarlet WitchandQuicksilver . This quartet would contain the centre of the Avengers for age after . Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch became so synonymous with The Avengers that the Scarlet Witch unite the cinematic version of Hawkeye the Avengers flick ( as well as Quicksilver for one movie ) in the 2010s , and Quicksilver went on to appear in three ten - Men film .

Just as he get in in Central Park , the Richardses attain that Franklin is in a second robot organic structure that is lash out them . Just as they fight off Nanny and Orphan - Maker , Franklin is stolen again by the demon , who sense the home power Franklin has . The ( semi - fantastic ) four , along with Thor , they ’re able-bodied to deliver Franklin and bend back the demon legion . And the Avengers are reborn .
Whew ! Did everybody get all that ?
The card was n’t stable and did n’t last for long . Technically , you could say that it did n’t even last a single calendar month , as Avengers # 200 would be the last time we saw Steve Rogers as the Captain . By Avengers # 301 he had reclaimed the chimneypiece of Captain America . Thor rejoins the Avengers in # 302 . retaliator # 304 was a team - up adventure with just Captain America and Thor . By the time that Avengers # 305 roll around , that batting order of the squad has disbanded , and Captain America scream all Avengers together to form a young lineup .
It ’s really no surprisal to find out that this geological era ofThe Avengershas never been totally collected . It is not Walter Simonson ’s best work . Or Ralph Macchio ’s . Or Danny Fingeroth ’s . Or John Byrne ’s . All contributed to this short run . It all feels like a series of fill - in issues , really . The squad that come out ofAvengers#305 admit Captain America , Thor , She - Hulk , Black Panther , and Quasar . Unfortunately , the roster stay on liquid for several months during John Byrne ’s tally on the title , with Captain America and Thor being the only members who stay for any distance of time . But it was a wild and woolly cod while it lasted .
