Marvel Year Two: The Avengers

The world's mightiest heroes!  Thor!  Iron-Man! The Hulk!  (Gi)Ant-Man (and the Wasp)!

We get two issues this year, both involving the Avengers being impersonated by a super villain.  By issue two they're meeting at Tony Stark's mansion and we get our first roster change, with the Hulk storming off in a green huff.

Wasp comes up with the name, though Ant-Man will probably take the credit for agreeing with her.


Hulk doing his Mr. T act here.

Wasp get's billing in the splash page, but not on the cover, and she evidently doesn't get a deciding vote or count towards a quorum.

This is one of the worst line ups, as we've got a strong guy, a strong guy who's taller than the rest, and two strong guys who can fly and shoot energy.  After Pym changes to Giant-Man, Wasp is the only one bringing anything special to the group.
