Description: In the aftermath of the Skrull Invasion, Norman Osborn put this team together to function as the new, U.S. sanctioned Avengers team under the aegis of H.A.M.M.E.R. Unknown to the public, the team is actually comprised of a number of super-villains dressed up as heroes. Unlike previous incantations of the Avengers, Osborn's team is hardcore, aggressive, and even lethal, so he masterfully covers up the latter in the media. Current Activity: • Arresting and otherwise hunting down members of the Mighty and New Avengers
Description: In response to the formation of the Dark Avengers, Henry Pym, in his latest superhero persona as the new Wasp, leads an Avengers team outside the U.S. and H.A.M.M.E.R.'s jurisdiction. With the apparent help of the Scarlet Witch — actually, a disguised Loki, the Norse trickster god — he summons the Vision and Stature of the Young Avengers, U.S. Agent, the Hulk, Jocasta, Hercules, Amadeus Cho, and Iron Man. As the self-described authentic Avengers, the team operates from an inter-dimensional headquarters. It is granted official recognition outside the U.S. by the international organization G.R.A.M.P.A., and combats super-villains and other entities including Chthon, and the Unspoken. Current Activity: • Getting settled in the Infinite Avengers Mansion

Current Activity: • Facing off with Young Masters for the right to be called 'Young Avengers'
