April 2010 saw the cancellation of practically all the series. The survivors (''[[Spider-Man]]'' and ''Super Heroes'') became renumbered, starting again from #1. 'Marvel Adventures' also dropped from the titles.
Spring 2012
Previous series that have been discontinued include ''[[The Incredible Hulk|Hulk]]'', ''[[Iron Man]]'', ''[[Fantastic Four]]'', and ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]]''.
A [[Spiritual Successor]] exists in the form of the joint Marvel-IDW imprint Marvel Action.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Athlete]]: In ''Marvel Adventures Spider-Man'' #34, Peter Parker is recruited as a shortshop for his high school baseball team after he's seen using his super-powers to deftly catch and return a wayward ball. Team pitcher Flash Thomson is enraged because he suspects Parker's skills are due to illegal drugs, while the Green Goblin wants to eliminate Parker so his son's rival team can win instead.
* [[Admiring the Abomination]]: [[Doctor Strange]] has one of these moments. ("Such ''magnificent'' power. It could destroy us at ''whim''.")

** Also, the creation of Vision. Huge lightning storm + experimental programs + Storm + combat practice robots = Lethal sentient robot.
* [[All Your Powers Combined]] - As in other universes, the Super-Adaptoid has the ability to copy powers and personalities. Quicksilver uses this to defeat it, as having it copy [[Captain America (comics)]] gives it enough good guy mojo to reject its creator and run off to become a hero.
* [[Attack of the 50
* [[Biting the Hand Humor]] - So many. A fan favorite is Doc Samson's [[One More Day|"Needs a wife" assessment of Spider-Man]] when the Avengers go in for therapy.
** Some believe that it was these little instances that led to the imprint enduring so much [[Executive Meddling]]
Line 33 ⟶ 35:
* [[The Casanova]] - Both Tony and Storm. While Tony has his civilian [[Girl of the Week|ladies]] and Black Widow, Storm's hooked up (in the past) with T'challa and Hawkeye, and currently with Thor, as well as getting a [[Les Yay]] scene with Giant Girl.
* [[Celebrity Blog]]: Nova spends most of ''Super Heroes'' v2 #1 pondering if Magneto has a Twitter account.
* [[Chess
* [[The Chew Toy]] - Unlike most cases where Wolverine is ''everywhere'', fandom didn't really mind him being a major member of the team, mostly because the writers ''loved'' playing him up for gags like Spidey's "Kick Me" sign, the aforementioned pummeling by Odin, the slingshot trick (Spidey again), etc.
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]] - [[Iron Man]] being subjected to the [[Cute but Cacophonic]] pit of space kitties as penalty for losing a round of Kree karaoke. Apparently, they're loud enough to even outdo the suit's sound filters, as he ends up mostly deaf for several pages.
Line 41 ⟶ 43:
* [[Engineered Public Confession]] - Captain America vs. Loki. "Did you just humiliate a deity in front of three million potential worshipers?!"
* [[Evil Laugh]] - For a hero, Storm's surprisingly good at it.
* [[Executive Meddling]] - Despite previously having ordained that all [[Marvel Adventures]] comics were their own self-contained series, thus eliminating the possibility of [[Continuity Snarl]] or [[Continuity Lock Out]], Marvel recently decided that they wanted to have the series be more "relevant" to each other. This lead to ''Avengers'' being axed and ''Super-Heroes'' replacing it as the "canon" team book, with a complete reboot to allow it to tie more to previous stories and the ongoing ''Spider-Man''.
* [[Fluffy the Terrible]] - To an [[Eldritch Abomination]], "Bob" is creatively exotic.
* [[Fun Personified]] - The whole line, but fans especially loved Batroc's appearance. He's just enjoying fighting the Avengers guys ''so much'' that you have to grin along.
Line 50 ⟶ 52:
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]] - It's a [[Lighter and Softer]] genre written for all ages, what do you expect?
* [[Groin Attack]] - Cap, of [[The Messiah|all]] people, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|does this to the Wrecker with his shield at one point.]]
* [[Haunted Headquarters]] - Before finding out Vision was actually a case of [[
* [[Heroes Gone Fishing]] - The villains probably wouldn't end up getting beaten half the time if they weren't constantly interrupting perfectly normal activities, such as godly dating or a friendly game of basketball.
* [[Hero Insurance]]
* [[Ho Yay]] - [[Captain America (comics)]]/[[Iron Man]] shippers ''love'' issue number twenty-seven of the Avengers series.
** They were seen on what seemed like another date in issue thirty.
* [[I Always Wanted to Say That]] - Due to an unstable time portal, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, Hulk, and Tigra meet Sgt. Nick Fury's Howling Commandos in ancient Egypt.
{{quote|
* [[Intimidating Revenue Service]] - The Avengers fear the taxman more than supervillains.
* [[I Need to Go Iron My Dog]]
* [[Jive Turkey]] - The aforementioned Goom, who learned all his English from shows like MTV Raps.
Line 67 ⟶ 69:
* [[Must Have Caffeine]]: When Doctor Strange is gliding around from one dimension to another doing his morning rounds, he has a paper cup of coffee in his hand. It's fun to imagine the Sorcerer Supreme stopping by Starbucks before checking in on Nisilette the Unimaginable.
* [[Narrative Profanity Filter]] - While watching a newsreel of Captain America's service in World War II, Cap mentions that a particularly cheesy line was added in by the filmmakers after the fact. When asked what he ''really'' said, Cap embarrassedly notes, "I can't say with ladies present."
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: In Super Heroes volume 2 #4, Deadpool is never referred to by his code name. Someone would always refer to him as "Wade Wilson. Better known as-" before being interrupted mid-sentence.
* [[Oh Crap]] - Many, but two are especially priceless: the panel where Spidey realizes Captain Stacy just suckered him into revealing his identity to him in Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man, and the reaction of an intergalactic conqueror when he discovers that he and his army are all roughly 1/100th the size of Earthlings in Marvel Adventures: Avengers.
* [[Phlebotinum Bomb]]
* [[Shooting Superman]]: Baron Zemo attempts to defy Captain America by punching him. However, he only has ordinary person strength and hurts his knuckles.
* [[Shout-Out]] - Mixed in liberally with the [[Biting the Hand Humor]].
{{quote|
* Doc Samson notes that Spider-Man ''[[One More Day|Needs A Wife]]''
* [[Soaperizing]]
* [[Spanner in
* [[Spoof Aesop]]
{{quote|
"That's ''not'' the lesson." }}
* [[Stalker
* [[Strange Minds Think Alike]]
* [[Ungrateful Bastard|Ungrateful Bastards]] - The Baston-Karians, boy howdy: "Why are you still here? You are finished saving our world, are you not?"
* [[Unsound Effect]] - Everywhere, but especially when it comes to Hulk and Batroc. "GAMMABOOOOM!" and "LeThumpt!" indeed.
* [[What Are You in For?]]
* [[Wouldn't Hurt a Child]] - At one point the Avengers have a showdown with Loki's Masters of Evil, who have gathered at a middle school, which Loki levitates into the air. Cap is paralysed with horror at the thought of all the kids in the school endangered or killed, only for the Wrecker to [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] this trope: "There weren't no kids in there! [[Even Evil Has Standards|Whaddya think we]] [[Would Hurt a Child|are,]] [[Complete Monster|monsters?"]]
* [[You and What Army?]] - Poor Jamie Madrox. He so badly wants to use this gag on somebody.
* [[You Meddling Kids]] - Spider-Man uses this in an Avengers adventure after unmasking Baron Zemo.
