History ComicBook / NewAvengers

After ''ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled'', Tony Stark disbanded the Avengers. [[TimeSkip Six months later]], a prison riot at the Raft proved that the world needed an Avengers team, so Comicbook/CaptainAmerica recruited the other heroes who helped stop the riot - Comicbook/IronMan, Comicbook/SpiderMan, [[Comicbook/LukeCageHeroForHire Luke Cage]], and [[Comicbook/{{SpiderWoman}} Spider-Woman]] - to form the New Avengers. As the first few arcs went on, the team was joined by Comicbook/{{Wolverine}}, Comicbook/TheSentry and Ronin (a disguised Echo, sent by Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} in his place). Following ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' through to the end of ''ComicBook/DarkReign'', the team was forced underground, but with the beginning of the Heroic Age they were free to operate openly. The series lasted for 64 issues (January, 2005-June, 2010).

In other media, the team (consisting of Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Comicbook/WarMachine, Iron Fist, Wolverine, and the Thing) appeared in a self-titled episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes''. Most of the members also are playable heroes in the Website/{{Facebook}} game ''VideoGame/MarvelAvengersAlliance''.

-->'''Spider-Man''': Well, Agent Drew... In the most P.C., non-threatening, professional way I'd like to say...\\

'''Spider-Man''': Exactly.

-->'''Iron Man''': Well, Agent Drew... In the most P.C., non-threatening, professional way I'd like to say...\\

'''Iron Man''': Exactly.

* RunningGag: Whenever the Avengers are getting their asses handed to them, Spider-Man suggesting that Senty [[NeverLiveItDown throws whatever is kicking the team's ass into the sun]].

* NeverLiveItDown:
** InUniverse, The Sentry throwing the Void into the sun.
** Similarily, Spider-Man reminds everyone that Victoria Hand was Norman Osborn's right hand during ''ComicBook/DarkReign'' at every opportunity.

-->'''Iron Man''': Well, Agent Drew... In the most P.C., non-threatening, professional way I'd like to say...
-->'''Luke Cage''': ''Damn'', girl.
-->'''Iron Man''': Exactly.

-->'''Spider-Man''': I'm telling you. This is fishy. Fishy fishy.
-->'''Luke Cage''': My spider-sense is tingling too.
-->'''Spider-Man''': That's copyrighted.

-->'''Thing''': Guess what time it is!
-->'''Spider-Man''': Really, you'll ''never'' guess!
-->'''Ms. Marvel''' Is it ''clobberin[='=]'' time?
-->'''Spider-Man''': Oh man, you guessed it right off the bat! ''First try!''
-->'''Thing''': Guys, you called me all the way out here. The ''least'' you could do is let me do my own catchphrase!

-->'''Iron Fist''': Well, whoever they are, I hate them.
-->'''Doctor Strange''': As do I.

** In-universe, The Sentry throwing the Void into the sun.

* TwoferTokenMinority: Echo, who is of mixed Latina and Native American descent.

* SweetPollyOliver: Echo as Ronin. A bit of FridgeBrilliance with this, since given the [[CaptainEthnic VERY Japanese]] nature of the identity, nobody would ever suspect that Ronin was actually a Latina woman from America, not a male from Japan.

* MametSpeak: As expected of a Bendis comic, but ''especially'' whenever Luke and Jessica Jones are having a conversation - they get ''entire pages'' worth of back-and-forth.

Not to be confused with the British TV show ''The New Avengers'', which was a DarkerAndEdgier {{Revival}} of ''Series/TheAvengers''.

---> '''Iron Fist''' ''(mid-battle)'': Awww... is this one of those 'witty banter' teams?
---> '''Spider-Man:''' Yeah.
---> '''Iron Fist:''' I hate banter.
---> '''Luke Cage:''' You're ''doing'' banter.

* HelloNurse: Spider-Woman ([[spoiler: or better, the skrull Queen Veranke posed as her]]) get this reaction from Iron Man and Luke Cage ("Damn, girl!") when she appears in her sexy red and yellow costume.

--> ''I hope you dregs and slackers appreciate what these people just did for you today. They saved your lives! They saved the world! Not metaphorically. Actually! And they're not even going to come out and take a bow. You get me? The world gets to turn one more day and it's because of them. So you better go do something a hell of a lot more meaningful than watching reality TV and fighting over your seat on the bus. You'd better appreciate it.''

* NeverMyFault: It's kinda Jericho Drum's fault [[spoiler:his brother dies, yet he still blames the Avengers for it.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:AvengersAssemble!]]

* AvengersAssemble: [[CaptainObvious Duh]]. Not so much after ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and ComicBook/IronMan both left the team.
--> '''Luke Cage:''' Avengers! WHUP HIS ASS!
--> '''Spider-Man:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Uh, is that the catchphrase now?]]
--> '''Wolverine:''' It is now.

* UnstoppableForceMeetsImmovableObject: "I've always wondered what would happened if I [[BuffySpeak Iron ]][[DoubleEntendre Fisted]] a Hulk..."[[note]][[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Let's just say the object moves.]][[/note]]

* AccidentalHero: A demon possesed Stephen Strange and Daimon Hellstrom. Wolverine stabbed them with his claws. Strange recovered, and praised Wolverine's inteligence, as he realized that only a massive physical trauma would make them demons leave their host. Spider-Man clarified it: Wolverine simply goes for blood, it was just CrazyEnoughToWork.
* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: The 1950s Avengers was a clever way to have Nick Fury recruiting people with super powers for "The Avengers Initiative". But that doesn't explain the ContrivedCoincidence on the use of the name, as the current Avengers were named that way by the Wasp simply for RuleOfCool.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: During ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', 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 BatFamilyCrossover taking place in the two Avengers titles before ExecutiveMeddling decided to make the story a CrisisCrossover limited series instead.
** One storyline focuses on Nick Fury gathering his own version of the Avengers in the fifties, which has nothing to do with the present-day segments.

* BackForTheFinale: Wolverine, after being unavailable for the last few arcs due to events in X-Men.

* BigBrotherMentor: Iron Man and Spider-Man shared this sort of relationship, [[spoiler:until ''ComicBook/CivilWar'']].

* BookEnds: Vol. 2 #16 (The final ''ComicBook/FearItself'' tie-in) opened with Hawkeye questioning what makes someone "Avengers material" and several Avengers arguing that certain people don't belong on the team; the issue ends with the same Avengers pointing out that applying AlternateCharacterInterpretation means that same person ''is'' very much the type of person who should be an Avenger.

* BorrowedCatchphrase: Norman Osborn escaped from prison and organized a new team of Dark Avengers. One of his recruits was Skaar, son of Hulk. He listed all the reasons why this new team will succeed, and finally pointed that "[[Film/TheAvengers2012 besides, we got a Hulk]]".
* BrickJoke: In the first issue of Vol. 2, Iron Fist gave Luke Cage a dollar to purchase Avengers Mansion from Tony Stark. When Luke leaves the team in the final issue of the volume, he sells it back to Stark for ''5'' dollars and Iron Fist complains that it was his money in the first place, whilst Stark notes that he sold the mansion to Cage for a fifth of that.

* DisabilitySuperpower: Daredevil has enhanced senses, including a "radar sense" that shows him the world around him.

* FastballSpecial: With Wolverine on the team, one of the heavy hitters will occasionally perform the traditional variant.

* GroinAttack: The Hood to Wolverine. With bullets.

* HiddenDepths: Spider-Man's status as TheSmartGuy, but ''only'' after the changes due to the ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' ResetButton took effect.

* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: Daredevil pulls this when Captain America first approaches him to be part of the first line-up. He tries to pull it again when Luke Cage and Jessica Jones ask him to join the team following ''ComicBook/FearItself'', but they point out it doesn't really work, since he'd be an Avenger and they'd have his back.

* KillerRabbit: Squirrel Girl can summon an army of squirrels to kill you.

-->'''Iron Fist''': "Well, whoever they are, I hate them."
-->'''Doctor Strange''': "As do I."
* LoopholeAbuse: In the initial arc, Maria Hill informs Captain America that he can't just form a new team of Avengers because he feels like it. Cap then tells her that she can check his S.H.I.E.L.D. file and verify for herself that he was previously given "Full Champion License" during Nick Fury's tenure as S.H.I.E.L.D. director; which means that he has the authority to assemble any team he sees fit to go on any mission he sees fit and they don't need S.H.I.E.L.D. permission to put the Avengers back together. Never mind that S.H.I.E.L.D. never had any authority over the Avengers anyway.

* TheMole: [[spoiler:Spider-Woman is really the Skrull Queen Veranke until after ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'']].

* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, The Sentry throwing the Void into the sun.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: The Hood was granted the Norn Stones by Loki after his connection with Dormammus was severed. After [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/{{Siege}} Loki took them back]]]], he sought out Count Nefaria to try and invoke this again, but [[spoiler:the New Avengers tracked him down and arrested him before he could get new powers again]].

* PutOnABus: Wolverine, for the last few arcs of the first volume, due to his being on Utopia with the rest of the X-Men. Notable, as he was still considered a member of the team during this time - Everyone else who left the title wasn't.

* TraumaCongaLine: This series has been ''hard'' on Doctor Strange. The final flare-up of dark magic which led him to give up the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme; the quest for his successor with a Dormammu-empowered Hood at his heels; and finally the abrupt [[DiabolusExMachina invasion of Agamotto]] into their dimension, which the new Sorcerer Supreme, Brother Voodoo, repelled at the cost of the Eye of Agamotto and his own life -- all happened in issues of ''New Avengers''.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The first time Earth has no Sorcerer Supreme, it's an immediate crisis that must be dealt with at once. The second time, it appears that two years of real time can pass without any particular badness occurring.

* BorrowedCatchphrase: Norman Osbourne escaped from prison and organized a new team of Dark Avengers. One of his recruits was Skaar, son of Hulk. He listed all the reasons why this new team will succeed, and finally pointed that "[[Film/TheAvengers2012 besides, we got a Hulk]]".

* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Ms. Marvel doesn't recognise a quote from Film/{{Ghostbusters}}, much to Spider-Man and the Thing's consternation.

* AvengersAssemble: [[CaptainObvious Duh]]. Not so much after CaptainAmerica and IronMan both left the team.

** Subverted - After [[spoiler:the death of [[CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]]]], Luke Cage states that they ''are'' Avengers, because Captain America said they were.

** [[spoiler:Victoria Hand, formerly Norman Osborn's right hand during ''ComicBook/DarkReign'', serves as the team's S.H.I.E.L.D liasion at [[CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]]'s request, but provides info on the team to Osborn's new H.A.M.M.E.R organisation. However, this is ''also'' at Rogers's request, as she provides info on H.A.M.M.E.R to him, with the New Avengers' distrust of her providing the ideal cover]].

* TokenEvilTeammate: Wolverine, of the NecessarilyEvil kind. IronMan notes to CaptainAmerica that, aside from strengthening human[=/=]mutant relations, this would be an important reason to have Logan around - He'd be able (and willing) to do [[ThouShallNotKill things that none of the other team members would]] (though Wolvie's considerably more mellow these days).

* [[AlmightyJanitor Almighty Nanny]]: SquirrelGirl. Although [[SquirrelGirl she]] is [[HyperCompetentSidekick demonstrably more capable]] than anyone else on the team, she sometimes has trouble [[RefugeInAudacity being taken seriously]], and everyone agrees that she's really the only one [[NiceGuy of an appropriate mindset]] to take care of a baby.

* TerribleIntervieweesMontage: Luke and Jessica trying to find a superpowered nanny for their daughter. Some candidates are horrible, some are offended, and some take the opportunity to get in a few zings at the team. But the [[SquirrelGirl last one]] is perfect.
