History ComicBook / USAvengers

* SpiritualSuccessor: ''U.S.Avengers'' follows (directly) in the footsteps of Al Ewing's eighteen-issue ''New Avengers'' run, reuniting him with frequent collaborator Paco Medina as the regular artist.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: When Toni's fighting the Gold Skull in his own PoweredArmor, she's surprised that his armor is actually ''solid gold'' and not gold-plated; solid gold is so soft that it can be molded ''by hand''. She easily tears his armor apart.

** Dani Cage as Captain America and Toni Ho as Iron Patriot, as well as the [[ComicBook/RedSkull Gold Skull]]. Though Gold Skull is implied to be a legacy of the eco terrorist called The Green Skull.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: This seems to be the Gold Skull's MO, believing that those with money has the power. In fact, his New World Order name is called the $kullocracy, complete with the dollar sign instead of an S.

** In the ''Secret Empire'' tie-in, one of A.I.M.'s staff reveals there's a work-around that lets him bump it up to two hours. [[spoiler:All part of Hydra's plan.]]

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Subverted. Dani tells the USAvengers about Thanos getting a Cosmic Cube and murdering half the heroes on Earth back in her history. When Red Hulk starts thinking about how to prepare for it, She tells the team that they'd already prevented it somehow, as it should have happened months ago.

* TheBusCameBack: The Dani Cage Captain America of ''Ultron: Forever'' returns at the end of issue 1, followed quickly by her adversary the Golden Skull.

* TheBusCameBack: Cannonball's wife Smasher and their son reappear during issue 5.

* TechnicalPacifist: Toni hates using violence and even admits that she doesn't know how to build a gun. Thus, her Iron Patriot armor is designed to use force fields to fight. Though as ''New Avengers'' shows, piss her off enough, and those forcefields can cut off a person's head.

** HE smashes one threat so thoroughly that SquirrelGirl {{Lampshades}} "So, what does he do for the other 59 minutes?"

* FunetikAccent: Victor Vandoom, as is required of the stereotypical mad European scientist.

With the Avengers Idea Mechanics torn after the events of ''ComicBook/AvengersStandoff'' and ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'', billionaire superhero [[ComicBook/NewMutants Sunspot]] --now going by the alias [[ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} Citizen V]]-- takes it upon himself to rebrand A.I.M. as the ''American'' Intelligence Mechanics, now working alongside ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} to better serve the interests of a distrusting American people and [[WinBackTheCrowd win back their trust]].

Joining Sunspot on this new endeavor are his best friend [[ComicBook/NewMutants Cannonball]], A.I.M. members ComicBook/SquirrelGirl, Enigma (formerly [[ComicBook/JonathanHickmansAvengers Pod]]) and Toni Ho (now operating under the [[ComicBook/IronMan Iron]] [[CaptainPatriotic Patriot]] alias), with Dani Cage (daughter of ComicBook/LukeCage and ComicBook/JessicaJones) as the ComicBook/CaptainAmerica of [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 20XX]] and a new ComicBook/RedHulk also recruited.

** Dani Cage (a black woman) as the Captain America of 20XX.

** Dani Cage as Captain America and Toni Ho as Iron Patriot, as well as the [[ComicBook/RedSkull Gold Skull]].Though Gold Skull is implied to be a legacy of the eco terrorist called The Green Skull.

* PowerHigh: Todd Ziller is willing to go AWOL and be experimented on by a MadScientist to become American Kaiju again because he dislikes [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything being so small and wants everyone to see his tail]]. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial For America, he definitely doesn't have an underlying issues or anything]].

** In Issue 4, Red Hulk and Deadpool deal with a scientist named Victor Vandoom, the great-grandson of Ludwig Vandoom, He Who Made A Monster, who first appeared all the way back in 'Tales To Astonish'' #17

Monster Juice. Kindly Couple... of punches to my head, activating my HealingFactor and now I'm human again. The end.
** One of the fake titles for issue four is "WHAAAAMM: [[Film/BatmanVsSupermanDawnOfJustice Dawn of Justice]]".

** Victor Vandoom remarks that when he's succeeded in his plan, he'll swim in money, a la Scrooge [=McDuck=]. He also declares that nothing in the [[FuneticAksent vurld]] can stop him now, quoting the [[HerrDoktor similarly-accented]] Dr Zarkoff in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' serial "The Underwater Menace".

* NotHelpingYourCase: On finding out the Golden Skull's current goons are robots, Dani asks if he still made them listen to one of his dumb speeches. The Golden Skull denies it, only to immediately add that it was a ''brilliant'' speech, actually.

* ShoutOut: Issue 4 has one towards ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman'':

* TakeThat: Issue 4 is divvied up by multiple fake comic book covers indicating that it's technically a multi-title crossover, with parts labeled "Alpha" and "Omega". It's Ewing's sign that he's a little fed up with how often his titles get corralled into crossovers, especially since his runs tend to be short.

[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial He definitely doesn't have a problem or anything]].

* TakeThat: When asked how a horrible man like Golden Skull could have so many loyal followers, Dani Cage says that the Skull dupes desperate, gullible people into supporting him by making lavish promises that he has no intention of keeping.

More than a few have interpreted that as a shot at UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump.
