History ComicBook / AvengersDisassembled

** When closing the mansion, Stark mentioned that he had stored and taken away all the fancy materials and technology. Still, when the YoungAvengers fought against Kang in the abandoned mansion a pair of months later, they had no problem in finding several old weapons of the Avengers.

* NotHimself: Tony Stark and She-Hulk, due to the manipulation of the Scarlet Witch.

'''Avengers Disassembled''' is a 2004 storyline of Comicbook/TheAvengers, that details the dissolution of the "classic" team and sets up ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' and ''Comicbook/NewAvengers''.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Wanda. A bereaved mother gone out of her head with grief -- with the power to change reality on a whim.

* IdiotBall: Writer John Rogers actually helped [[TropeCodifier popularize this term]] in [[http://kfmonkey.blogspot.ca/2005/02/comics-womb-crazy.html a blog post about this very storyline]]. Notable examples include Hawkeye having no way other than suicide to keep his trick arrows from killing everyone around him; Dr. Strange not knowing what happened to Wanda's children even though he delivered them himself; and finally the Avengers' decision to let Wanda's terrorist supervillain father take her away at the end. Though the last one could be explained by the fact that wouldn't have had a prayer of taking him in a fight at that point.

At the climax of it all, Comicbook/DoctorStrange appeared in his astral form. He told them that the ScarletWitch's chaotic powers were to blame for this -- the memory of her lost children had driven her insane and taken all the checks off of her reality-warping powers. He engaged Wanda in magical combat and [[MindRape turned the Eye of Agamotto against her]], which left her in a coma. Her father Magneto took away to Genosha to take care of her.

* JustAMachine:
** Said by She-Hulk when she destroyed the Vision. Forgive her: she was not being herself.
** When Vision is rebuilt later (just before ''Comicbook/AvengersVsXMen''), he goes after She-Hulk and they have a heart-to-heart, with him forgiving her and her very depressed over what she did and, at the same time, relieved that her friend was back.

* NeverLiveItDown: Invoked. Henry Pym whines about never being able to live down the creation of Ultron, that everyone will always remember him because of that, and Tony Stark had a similar problem with his old alcoholism.

* WhamLine: "Not like this. Not like this! Like THIS!"
** This one was so fondly remembered that Marvel put "Not like this...!" on the tribute plaque they gave to Brian Michael Bendis when he retired from writing the Avengers books.

** And the infamous one -- Doctor Strange told the Avengers that there was no such thing as "chaos magic," despite having used it himself in his own solo series.
*** This was later explained by Chthon himself, who said that the Sorcerers Supreme and others had tried to limit his power by saying that there was no such thing as chaos magic.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim --> PutOnABus: Both in a row for Kesley Leigh, [[TheScrappy the unwanted]] new Captain Britania.

* BadCopIncompetentCop: Nick Fury get really angry when this trope came into play. What do you mean you have no sensor readings? There is a fraggin' Kree ship out there, shooting to the city!!! But don't be too harsh with them, they were not prepared to deal with magic.

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: Hawkeye will not die simply because of an explosion of his arrows at his back. Not, that's too mundane for him. He has to take a Kree soldier, use his jet pack, fly into the motor of the main ship, and make it blow up. ''That'' is a fine way to die! When he was resurrected later, he explained that he saw it this way at the time. The others - and the audience - [[StupidSacrifice disagreed]], since he had plenty of time to just ''take off his quiver''. Hawkeye wound up feeling rather embarrassed by the whole affair.

'''Avengers Disassembled''' is a 2004 storyline of Comicbook/TheAvengers, that details the dissolution of the "classic" team and sets up ''HouseOfM'' and ''Comicbook/NewAvengers''.

* RedSkiesCrossover: One of the most blatant on record. Plenty of Marvel's titles carried a "Disassembled" banner, but not one of them had more than a passing reference to the event. Conversely, none of these "tie-ins" enhanced the main title -- if anything, they'd just confuse you. (Wasn't Wanda doing fine in Cap/Falcon? How does IronMan have time to seclude himself working?)

* NothingIsTheSameAnyMore: Even though the Avengers returned a month later, the story was a turning point that broke most of their status quo. Before this, they were agents of the UN; after this, the New Avengers were a self-funded street-level team (until Heroic Age).

* TenMinuteRetirement: Just one month later, Captain America put together the Comicbook/NewAvengers.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Invoked. They captured a Kree who was talking in BlackSpeech. Since they knew he could speak in English, they ordered him to use a language they could understand.
