History ComicBook / SavageAvengers

* TeamBenefactor: The Savage Avengers aren't hurting when it comes to resources. They get supplies, funds and other forms of aid from Dr. Strange while Dr. Doom and Kang have also chipped in.

** The above examples are the ones that stay with the team, other characters who've teamed up with Conan but never joined include the Marauders, Deadpool, Night Flyer, Ghost Rider and the Rhino.

** The same can be said of Conan and Frank, on their road trip back to America, with Conan consoling Frank regarding his family. Conan is also getting that way with Deadpool in their arc for ''ComicBook/KingInBlack'' and Venom rather likes Conan and was glad to see him in Mexico during the ''ComicBook/{{Empyre}}'' event

** The above examples are the ones that stay with the team, other characters who've teamed up with Conan but never joined include the Marauders, Deadpool, Night Flyer and the Rhino.

* AntiHeroTeam: The team is filled with people who have zero problem killing and who were lured together by Kulan Gath specifically ''because'' they're bathed in death.

** Strange fills this role among the team-up with him and Doom and Conan. He wants to save the people who have been possessed and asks the two to not kill, which they ignore.

* ComicBook/ConanTheBarbarian (Conan of Cimmeria) -- Barbarian adventurer from the Hyborean Age, destined to become King Conan of Aquilonia.

* ForegoneConclusion: As is the norm with Conan, and even he brings it up here as a dream he had -- he needs to live long enough to become King Conan. Whatever happens to him in the modern-day, he needs to somehow end up back in the Hyborean age for further adventures, and eventually earn his throne.

After finding himself transported to the modern day, Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian finds himself allied with a ragtag band of... very violent people, who unite to stop the sorcerer Kulan Gath. The team consists of:

* TheBrute: Before Cain Marko joins, the Savage Avengers are a DreamTeam... when it comes to sorcery and combat skill. But when their mightiest member was ComicBook/{{Venom}} followed by peak human (or better) Wolverine and Conan, kid teams like ComicBook/Champions2019 and ComicBook/{{Runaways}} have more muscle. Enter the Juggernaut, with him on the payroll the team has one of the most elite Class 100 powerhouses in Marvel.

* CannibalismSuperpower: In issue 0, Doctor Strange tells Magik that Kulan Gath has grown stronger since their last encounter with him. He says this is from him cannibalizing other mages, including some previous [[TheArchmage Sorceror Supremes]]. Strange finds out that this is how he's always increased his power, starting after being expelled by his teacher for demanding more power and literally getting a taste of it from a drop of blood from their fight.
** Strange gives Conan a special mission, Strange needs a major boost in power to deal with Gath's new plan. So if Conan can cut off a piece of Gath, he's to give it to Stephen as a munchie.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Even for the 2010s, this is one of the darker Avengers line-ups and series. All of the main cast except Voodoo have body counts numbering in the hundreds ''at least'' and are completely fine with killing.

* DoesNotLikeMagic: A recurring joke throughout the series is Conan's, per usual, disdain for magic. He takes an immediate disliking to Doctor Strange, though he does express fondness for Doctor Doom, due to Doom's more warrior-like apparel and more boisterous attitude when fighting. Similarly, he doesn't hold anything against Magik, probably for the same reasons.

* EasilyForgiven: When Elektra and Dr. Strange teleport to Mexico to recruit Conan, the Cimmerian is rightfully pissed at Stephen for banishing him back to Brazil and wants to know why he shouldn't gut Strange. A few words of reason and a firm handshake after and Conan is actually friendly towards Strange from then on. Also Juggernaut had beef with Magik after she depowered him and dumped him in Limbo, he was initially declining working with them, but once Conan hands over the bag of jewels from Strange, Cain Marko is happy to help them and was hunky-dory with Illyana.

* ForegoneConclusion: As is the norm with Conan, and even he brings it up here as a dream he had -- he needs to live long enough to become King Conan. Whatever happens to him in the modern-day, he needs to somehow end up back in the Hyborean age for further adventures.

* SentientWeapon: Conan bonds with an unnamed symbiote during the first arc and uses it to form a sword, but it dies after the fight with the Marrow God is done.
* SeriesContinuityError: The first arc was published at the time when Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote had parted ways, with the implication being that the Venom who appeared to help fight Jhoatun Lau was the hostless symbiote. However, the tie-in for ''ComicBook/{{Empyre}}'' has Eddie Brock -- who is missing the beard he sports in ''ComicBook/DonnyCatesVenom'' -- ask Conan if he remembers him from that fight; which leaves where the first arc fits in to the timeline something of a mystery since at the time Eddie was preoccupied with looking after his son Dylan.

** Conan constantly losing his weapons is something that features heavily in the Creator/RobertEHoward original stories.

'''''Savage Avengers''''' is a comic book series launched in April 2019 as part of the ComicBook/MarvelAFreshStart initiative, written by Gerry Duggan with Mike Deodato Jr. on art.

* [[Characters/DoctorStrangeAllies Doctor Voodoo]] (Jericho Drumm) -- Master of the voodoo arts, Houngan Supreme and ally of ComicBook/DoctorStrange.

* Franchise/{{Wolverine}} (James "Logan" Howlett) -- Canadian mutant stabby man.

The team is darker and more prone to violence and killing than other Avengers teams, and is marketed as such. The series sees Conan regularly interacting with the wider Marvel Universe since Marvel regained his publishing rights in January, 2019 and the ''Avengers: No Road Home'' miniseries.

* UnexpectedCharacter: The Night Flyer is a D-list mercenary who's only had a few appearances and hasn't been around since 1981. This particular Night Flyer appears to be a LegacyCharacter (the current one is black with facial hair while the original is white and cleanshaven). With the exception of Daimon Hellstrom (though his stock is rising) and Doctor Voodoo, everyone else in the series is A list or B at worst.

* TheBrute: Before Cain Marko joins, the Savage Avengers are a DreamTeam...when it comes to sorcery and combat skill. But when their mightiest member was a welter-weight like Venom followed by peak human (or better) Conan, kid teams like ComicBook/Champions2019 and ComicBook/{{Runaways}} have more muscle. Enter the Juggernaut, with him on the payroll the team has one of the most elite Class 100 powerhouses in Marvel.

* GreatEscape: During the ''ComicBook/KingInBlack'' event, Conan gets arrested shortly after partying at the Bar with No Name. There he meets ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} and through a rather grotesque plan, they manage to escape jail. Before they leave, a fellow inmate Nightflyer has an adventure prospect for the two.

* HonorAmongThieves: When Nightflyer reveals his big adventure for Conan and Deadpool is...looting an abandoned Hellfire Club mansion. Conan gets very suspicious and asks why they're needed for such an easy outing. Nightflyer gets where Conan is coming from and explains. There's too much money for one person to carry and he owes them both for getting him out of Ryker's. Plus if he gets them a big score now, they'd perhaps consider working with him again in the future.

* StraightGay: Nightflyer reveals to Conan and Deadpool, that he's gay and is a couple with his lawyer. Nightflyer asks if it'll be a problem. Conan has no issue, he knew lots of great warriors who were homosexual.

* TookALevelInBadass: When he first came to the modern age, Conan had no idea how to use a gun and if he got his hands on one - he'd use it as a club. Some time before the ''ComicBook/KingInBlack'' event, he learnt how to use one. After the jail break with Deadpool and Nightflyer, the three of them went to the confiscated weapons locker. While the other two got their old gear back, Conan was unarmed when he went to Rykers. So he helps himself to a machete and a sawed-off shotgun, which he uses against a symbiote dragon. The next issue, Conan gets another level up when he agrees to bond temporarily with the symbiote dragon. It then becomes a MorphWeapon that's linked psychically and physically with him.

* CannibalismSuperpower: In issue 0, Doctor Strange tells Magik that Kulan Gath has grown stronger since their last encounter with him. He says this is from him cannibalizing other mages. Strange finds out that this is how he's always increased his power, starting after being expelled by his teacher for demanding more power and literally getting a taste of it from a drop of blood from their fight.
