And thus is born one of the greatest superhero teams of all time! Powerful! Unpredictable! Brought together by a strange quirk of fate, The Avengers are on the march, and a new dimension is added to the Marvel Galaxy of Stars.
bitches, this is the first formation of the Avengers…(but still missing in this picture (Black Panther, Hawkeye and the Hulk)
Actually, no it’s not.
The first Avengers team consisted of Hank Pym, Janet van Dyne, Iron Man, Thor, and the Incredible Hulk.
Cap didn’t join the team until they found him frozen in the arctic (with a little “help” from Namor) and Hakweye didn’t join the team until the second generation, known as “Cap’s Kooky Quartet”, consisting of Captain America, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff and the aforementioned Hawkeye.
As for T’Challa, he didn’t join the Avengers until much later, though he did have a few guest appearances in other ongoing titles and his own mini-series before joining the team.
