Line 5:
The [[Marvel Universe]]'s [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|all-star superhero team]], rebranded for the new millennium.
After ''[[Wham! Episode|Avengers Disassembled]]'', Tony Stark disbanded the Avengers. [[Time Skip|Six months later]], a prison riot at the Raft proved that the world needed an Avengers team, so [[Captain America]] recruited the other heroes who helped stop the riot - [[Iron Man]], [[Spider-Man]], [[Luke Cage, Hero for Hire|Luke Cage]] & [[Spider-Woman (Comic Book)|Spider-Woman]] - to form the New Avengers. As the first few arcs went on, the team was joined by [[Wolverine]], [[The Sentry]] & Ronin (a disguised Echo, sent by [[Daredevil]] in his place). Following ''[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]'' through to the end of ''[[Dark Reign (
Currently, the team is officially sanctioned by S.H.I.E.L.D., and is one of two public teams of Avengers currently active in the [[Marvel Universe]]. They are led by Luke Cage and based in Avengers Mansion.
Line 15:
* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]]: During ''[[Secret Invasion]]'', both this title and ''Mighty Avengers'' didn't feature the titular Avengers, but instead revealed backstory for several of the Skrull replacements. Justified, in that both teams were trapped in the Savage Land for a large portion of the story, and the story was originally going to be a [[Bat Family Crossover]] taking place in the two Avengers titles before [[Executive Meddling]] decided to make the story a [[Crisis Crossover]] limited series instead.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: [[The Hood]], the [[Dark Avengers]]
* [[The Atoner]]: Daredevil, due to the events of ''[[Shadowland (
* [[Avengers Assemble]]: [[Captain Obvious|Duh]]. Not so much after [[Captain America]] & [[Iron Man]] both left the team.
{{quote| '''Luke Cage:''' Avengers! WHUP HIS ASS!<br />
'''Spider-Man:''' [[Deadpan Snarker|Uh, is that the catchphrase now?]]<br />
'''Wolverine:''' It is now. }}
* [[Back for
* [[Badass in Distress]]: The first things the second line-up do are {{spoiler|try to retrieve Captain America's body from S.H.I.E.L.D. after learning that he may still be alive}}, before flying to Japan to save Echo from being [[Brainwashed and Crazy|forced into the Hand]].
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: [[Doctor Strange]].
Line 26:
* [[Book Ends]]: Vol. 2 #16 (The final ''[[Fear Itself (Comic Book)|Fear Itself]]'' tie-in) opened with Hawkeye questioning what makes someone "Avengers material" & several Avengers arguing that certain people don't belong on the team; the issue ends with the same Avengers pointing out that applying [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] means that same person ''is'' very much the type of person who should be an Avenger.
* [[Casual Danger Dialog]]: Naturally, [[You Fight Like a Cow|Spider-Man]] is the chief offender, but they all have their moments.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Ronin. Despite being on all of the early covers, the character didn't appear until the midway point of the original line-up's run (and then immediately [[Put
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Echo, after ''[[Secret Invasion]]''. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Spider-Man asking if anyone knew where she'd gone; and again with her reappearance when Luke Cage & Jessica Jones were looking for a Nanny, as she angrily asks if Cage even remembers that she used to be on the team.
* [[Costume Copycat]]: Spider-Man [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] the Dark Avengers use of costumes previously worn by ''actual'' heroes.
Line 60:
*** [[The Smart Guy]]: Spider-Man
*** [[The Chick]]: Mockingbird, Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew)
** The current/post-''[[Dark Reign (
*** [[The Hero]]: Luke Cage
*** [[The Lancer]]: Ms. Marvel, Daredevil after ''[[Fear Itself (Comic Book)|Fear Itself]]''
Line 70:
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Echo, a deaf woman with photographic memory; Daredevil, a blind man with "Radar Sense".
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Luke Cage & Iron Fist, naturally.
* [[Hey, That's My Line!]]
{{quote| '''Spider-Man''': I'm telling you. This is fishy. Fishy fishy.<br />
'''Luke Cage''': My spider-sense is tingling too.<br />
Line 81:
** "Avengers Apartment" until ''[[Secret Invasion]]''.
** Bucky's Safehouse until ''[[Siege (Comic Book)|Siege]]''.
** Avengers Mansion since the end of ''[[Dark Reign (
** Avengers Tower until its destruction during ''[[Fear Itself (Comic Book)|Fear Itself]]''.
** Avengers Mansion (current)
Line 95:
** Flashing red neon letters pointing directly at Victoria Hand. (But is it a little ''too'' obvious?)
* [[Never Live It Down]]: In-universe, The Sentry throwing the Void into the sun.
** Similarily, Spider-Man reminds everyone that Victoria Hand was Norman Osborn's right hand during ''[[Dark Reign (
* [[Playing Both Sides]]/[[Reverse Mole]]: {{spoiler|Victoria Hand, formerly Norman Osborn's right hand during ''[[Dark Reign (
* [[The Power of Friendship]]/[[True Companions]]: The team has a "family" vibe, complete with nearly-[[Once an Episode|once-a-book]] scenes of them sitting around a table eating and talking.
* [[Put
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: By vol. 2 under Luke Cage, the team consists of anyone he has managed to recruit, yielding a mismatched bag of heroes, some of whom are on their second (or third, or fourth) chance. Wong called them a "second-rate pile of Avengers" and Kyle Richmond, aka Nighthawk, said "clearly you guys are [[The Defenders]]."
* [[Running Gag]]: Whenever the Avengers are getting their asses handed to them, Spider-Man suggesting that Senty [[Never Live It Down|throws whatever is kicking the team's ass into the sun]].
