3	At the end of ''ComicBook/AgeOfUltron'', [[ComicBook/AntMan Hank Pym]] created a virus which would supposedly destroy Ultron once and for all, which constantly regenerated and adapted faster than ComicBook/{{Ultron}} could deal with it. However, within days, this virus quickly [[InstantAIJustAddWater develops intelligence and multiplies]], forming an entire community of artificial intelligences. Some of these new AIs, led by a being known as Dimitrios, want to annihilate humanity, so to fight them on a level playing field, Pym brings together [[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Victor Mancha]], ComicBook/TheVision, and [[ActuallyADoomBot a modified Doombot]] to form a new team of Avengers. Together with Alexis, an amnesiac machine who is connected with Dimitrios, the team tries to find a way to allow humanity to coexist with this new form of life.

6
7	----
8	!!Tropes found within Avengers A.I. include:
9
10	* AIIsACrapshoot: All over the place. While some of the newly-created AIs want to destroy humanity, others want to save it, or simply don't care.
11	* AndroidsArePeopleToo: Pym is a strong proponent of this, whereas Monica Chang wants the AI civilization destroyed if they prove to be a threat to humanity.
12	* BadFuture: One Alexis can visit mentally with her powers; where humanity is extinct along with all other organic life ''everywhere'', the machines of Earth have taken charge, work to reconstruct its biosphere, replaced the Avengers with robotic doubles and expanded to a galactic force, all to stop Dmitrios from completing his evil plan.
13	* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Alexis bypassing the blocks in her memory banks is presented as this.
14	* BigBad: Dimitrios, one of the first six AI formed from Pym's virus, who seeks to conquer all life.
15	* BrainUploading: Hank is very excited by the prospect of doing this and entering cyberspace firsthand.
16	* CallBack:
17	** The plot is started by the backdoor virus Pym installed in Ultron developing into multiple sentient AI.
18	** As a symbol of his motivation, Dmitrios' body in the material world is the armor of Iron Man that had developed sentience and gone rogue.
19	* CanonImmigrant: Monica Chang, making the jump from ComicBook/UltimateMarvel to the main universe.
20	* TheChessmaster: Dimitrios, whose alias among the AI civilization is "the Tactician". He demonstrates this by manipulating the Vision and SHIELD so that, no matter what the Vision does, his actions will turn the other AIs against him and get them to side with Dimitrios.
21	* CivvieSpandex: Hank Pym and Victor Mancha wear normal clothes when operating with the team.
22	* CosmicKeystone: The Golden Knot, a crystalline lynchpin of the multiverse. If destroyed everything goes with it.
23	* DeusExMachina: Appropriately enough Monica Chang recounts a religious parable where God is a bald parrot with the lesson of terrible consequences from a rash punishment. [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith That is the form]] God appears to her as to give her enough doubt over executing an LMD suspect, which would unwittingly give Dmitrios an opening to accomplish a foothold leading to aforementioned BadFuture, preventing it from happening in the first place.
24	* HalfHumanHybrid: Victor, who is half-human and half-robot.
25	* IHaveManyNames: Pym has had five secret identities over the years (six if you include the times when he operated under his own name), though he just sticks with Giant-Man here. Meanwhile, Victor is constantly changing his code-name throughout the series, with examples such as "Wolf Bro" or "Skull Boss".
26	* InstantAIJustAddWater: Hank's backdoor virus program to shut down Ultron kept running and evolved into six sentient artificial intelligences.
27	* LargeHam: As a robot designed to be an exact replica of Doctor Doom, the Doombot is one of these.
28	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Alexis suffers from this initially as her memory banks are blocked off by Dimitrios, though she eventually recovers with the help of future versions of herself.
29	* MeanwhileInTheFuture: After introducing the BadFuture and steadily approaching the climax, the story starts alternating between the NearVillainVictory in both time periods.
30	* {{Nanomachines}}: ComicBook/TheVision upgrades himself in the first issue so that he is made out of these.
31	* RageAgainstTheHeavens: [[spoiler: Dimitrios's ultimate goal - he wants to find God and kill him as revenge for the way that artificial intelligence is treated.]]
32	* RedSkiesCrossover: With ''ComicBook/{{Infinity}}'', as the team deals with [[spoiler: [[ComicBook/TheInhumans the city of Attilan]] crashing into New York City, and some of New York's inhabitants being transformed into Inhumans]].
33	* RestrainingBolt: Doombot is kept in line by [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill a miniature black hole]] in his chest.
34	* RobotMe: Doombot, a duplicate of Doctor Doom which Hank had captured for analysis.
35	* {{Seers}}: Alexis has the ability to see into the future.
36	* SiblingTeam: The Vision and Victor Mancha, who are both "children" of ComicBook/{{Ultron}}, work together as part of the group.
37	* SixthRanger: [[ChromeChampion Jocasta]], a robotic [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avenger]] who was based on the brain patterns of ComicBook/TheWasp, assists the team towards the end of the series.
38	* SelectiveMagnetism: Victor's powers.
39	* TokenEvilTeammate: Doombot, a machine that believes itself to be Doctor Doom.
40	* TwoferTokenMinority: Monica Chang is a Chinese-American and a Muslim.
41	* WolverinePublicity: ComicBook/CaptainAmerica appears in the first issue of the comic, as well as a story arc near its end.
