* [[Author Appeal]]: George Perez designed a [https://web.archive.org/web/20160407021740/http://sarcasm-hime.net/wanda-ref.jpg new costume] for the Scarlet Witch, which reveals that she does not wear panties. He has stated that she is [[Perverse Sexual Lust|his favorite character]].
* [[Author's Saving Throw]]: Hank Pym, whose involvement in the Civil War debacle was negated by the reveal that he was a Skrull during that storyline.

** Earlier than that, ''Avengers Forever'' was meant as an Author's Saving Throw for the reviled "Crossing" arc, and along the way it simplified the Kang/Immortus connection so that future writers would not have to worry about it. [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome|Not that future Avengers writers have made use of Immortus anyway]], and Kang was killed off by the next writer to use him.

* [[Broken Base]]: The fan base is pretty much irreversibly split on [[Brian Michael Bendis]]' contributions to the franchise, let alone the [[John Byrne]] Avengers West Coast run.
▲*** Avengers: The Children's Crusade full-stop.
* [[Creator's Pet]]: Jessica Jones and Luke Cage for Bendis, Mantis for Steve Englehart, Sersi for Bob Harras, Hank Pym for Dan Slott, and Sharon Carter for Ed Brubaker

▲* [[Downer Ending]]:
▲** Vision Quest
▲** The Crossing
▲** Avengers Disassembled
▲** [[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]
▲** [[Secret Invasion]]
** "Operation: Galactic Storm", about the Kree-Shi'ar War, ended with the Kree Supreme Intelligence detonating a Nega bomb and obliterating most of its own species in an attempt to jump start their evolution. Half of the Avengers were so disgusted with this that they executed him.
*** It goes into an even bigger downer than that: Iron Man's participation in this sparked his descent into evil and the start of ''The Crossing'', the aforementioned [[Continuity Snarl]] of a crossover. Then it all feeds into Onslaught...
* [[Fanon Discontinuity]]: Everything since Chuck Austen took over the book in 2003.
* [[God Mode Sue]]: Mantis under Steve Engelhart.
* [[Ho Yay]]: [[Iron Man]] and [[Captain America (comics)]]. [[Ho Yay/Comic
* [[Never Live It Down]]:
** For [[Iron Man]], both his alcoholism and [[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]].
** For [[Ant-Man|Hank Pym]], [[Domestic Abuse|smacking Jan]] during a drug-addled [[Freak-Out]].
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Pilot Marko appears for about five pages in ''Secret Avengers'' #17, and you are about to read every word he's ever spoken, but he steals the book.

* [[Protection From Editors]]: [[Brian Michael Bendis]], whose tenure on the title has seen him being able to do as he pleases, which has not been received favorably by all.
** This has changed though, if Avengers Vs X-Men, Siege, The Heroic Age relaunch of the classic adjectiveless Avengers book, and "Avengers: The Children's Crusade" are any indication.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] Basically every single line-up change in the fluid roster has gotten some criticism, but [[Brian Michael Bendis]]' reboot and [[Mark Millar]]'s [[Revision|revisioning]] stand out in terms of negative feedback.
* [[The Woobie]]: The Hulk.
