They ’re called Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes , but some of the are mightier than others . We ’ve fall apart down all of the official Avengers — minus a few too recent to estimate — to limit who should be assembled first when malefic strikes .
1 ) Captain America
Although Cap was n’t a founding member of the Avengers — he was n’t unfrozen from his block of ice until egress # 4 — he ’s come up to epitomize the Avengers more than any other . He ’s been the leader of the team for most its existence .
2 ) Thor
Hulk may be the strongest retaliator , but there ’s no doubt Thor is the mighty . Not only is he a god — and a god worthy of one of the most knock-down weapons in the universe at that — he ’s been an inherent part of the Avengers since founding it in 1963 , despite having to protect all the nine realm .
3 ) The white Anglo-Saxon Protestant
If Captain America epitomizes the Avengers , Janet Van Dyne is still its heart and soul . She was a founding member , has conduct the team through some of its most unmanageable here and now , and has the unequivocal respect of gods , robots , and the most powerful being in the cosmos . Marvel actually put it best when it state if the Avengers were ask to outrank themselves , The Wasp would in all probability be # 1 .
4 ) Hawkeye
For all that his “ superpower ” is burgeon forth arrows really good , Hawkeye has somehow become one of the most indispensable members of the squad . As “ a regular hombre , ” Hawkeye keep the Avengers ground in a way no other phallus can — a immensely underrated quality that has help make the team as successful as it has been .
5 ) Iron Man
He ’s a founding member of the Avengers in both the comics and the movies , and its his wealth that keeps the organization funded . But despite the fact RDJ has become the typeface of the Marvel Cinematic Universe , the comics ’ Tony Stark is perpetually distracted from the team because his personal life is a catastrophe . He ’s obviously a major part of the squad , but the Avengers have oft done just all right without him .
6 ) Carol Danvers , Ms. Marvel / Captain Marvel
Marvel ’s answer to Superman and Wonder Woman , but much better , Carol Danvers is one of the Avengers ’ gravid - batter , which is tell something when its ranks include Thor and Hulk . Since she took the name Captain Marvel , she ’s become so indispensable to the Avengers it ’s unbelievable the squad will ever be without her again .
7 ) The Vision
The android “ boy ” of one of the Avengers ’ deadly enemy , Ultron , the Vision chop-chop disobeyed his “ father ” and became a hero . Despite being a robot , he is one of the Avengers ’ well - loved members ( often physically ) .
- Hank Pym
For well or ill , Hank Pym is part of the Avengers ’ DNA . He base it and has been a primal member for most of its existence , despite his use of switching superhero names and index . He ’s had his trouble over the years — several of them , in fact — but he ’s prove himself to be an Avenger time and time again .
9 ) Spider - Man
I ’m sorry to long - prison term Avengers fans still irked that Marvel shoehorn their most pop character onto their most popular radical in 2005 , but he should have always been on the team . He ’s a natural fit , both in the comics cosmos and realism .
10 ) Monica Rambeau , Captain Marvel
Monica Rambeau ’s tenure with the Avengers was abbreviated , but she quickly proved herself among Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes . With the ability to turn herself into any part of the electromagnetic spectrum , she ’s vastly powerful , but it was her character that so impressed her teammate , she became the leader of the Avengers soon after joining .
11 ) Black Panther
Black Panther is a tremendous Italian sandwich of power , moral excellence and wholeness . But when it comes to choose between the Avengers and Wakanda , the Carry Nation he rules , his loyalties are divided , and his frequent appearance and disappearances on the team reflect that .
13 ) Black Widow
Since she ’s a former Russian spy , the Avengers have had frequent trust issues with Natasha Romanov . But despite that , she ’s been one of the most revered Avengers , even serving as the squad leader for a bit .
14 ) Scarlet Witch
A powerful sorceress and frequent fellow member who would be ranked higher if she did n’t have an unfortunate habit of pass mad and murdering her mate / create fictional children .
15 ) Quicksilver
The Scarlet Witch ’s comrade is n’t disturbed , but he ’s often a huge asshole . However , when he can get over himself , he ’s used his ace - speed to help save the world as an Avenger on many occasion .
16 ) She - Hulk
Few Marvel hero seem to fit on every squad , but She - Hulk is definitely one of them . Some people may know her better as a member of the Fantastic Four than the Avengers , but she ’s been an Avenger for much more of her career .
17 ) Hercules
call Hercules a mark between Thor and Hulk — a super - strong god who usually perforate before he mean — is exact , but the rambunctious , vain , cocky hero frequently fetch as much character to the team as he does baron .
18 ) wolf
normally , X - military personnel who join the Avengers stay put out like a tender , mutated thumb . Beast is the exception . bright , erudite , and without a massive splintering on his shoulder about the state of mutant - sort , he ’s oftentimes been call on .
19 ) Falcon
While Sam Wilson is currently a major part of the Avengers as the unexampled Captain America , he ’s only become a even member of the team over the last decade .
20 ) Hulk
Yes , now the Hulk is major part of the Avengers ( thanks in part to the motion picture ) and yes , Hulk even helped found the team . But he also quit almost instantly , and only recently get together back up . The Avengers have spent far more of their account stopping the Hulk than work with him .
21 ) War Machine
Whether he ’s been fatigue his War Machine armor or masquerade as Iron Man ( he was actually in the first Secret Wars , not Tony Stark ) , James Rhodes has always been a true Avenger .
22 ) Jessica Drew , Spider - Woman
Brian Michael Bendis ’ love for Jessica Drew has turn Spider - Woman into one of the more big comic Avengers ; while a formidable Cuban sandwich , she does n’t really bring that much to the squad that Black Widow and Spider - Man do n’t already .
23 ) Luke Cage , Power Man
A more late addition to the Avengers ranks , Luke Cage has already begun to precede Avengers teams , although he also has no job step down if something comes up .
24 ) Michigander
Putting the most democratic sport on the Avengers seems like it would be a good estimation as adding Spider - Man , but it does n’t act . Partially because Wolverine is a routine too execution - y for the Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes , and also because Wolverine still sham he ’s a lone wolf when he ’s on basically every team in the Marvel U.
25 ) Wonder Man
One of the more frequent Avengers , Wonder Man is still better known for being a Hollywood player and wearing stupid deoxyephedrine . Still , he ’s been there for a large part of Avengers ’ history .
26 ) The Black Knight
As a dude with a witching ebony sword and a flying robot cavalry - ship , the Black Knight was pretty awesome , but his Avengers ’ incumbency was rather unmemorable otherwise .
27 ) Tigra
A democratic Avenger among superheroes and reader , but it does n’t switch the fact that her power is mostly being furred and bust a two-piece .
27 ) Mockingbird
A good Avenger , but a better SHIELD agent .
28 ) Dr. Strange
The Sorcerer Supreme has been a New Avenger for a while , and as the master of magic , has the potential to be one of the greats . But he still has n’t seemed to properly mousse with the team .
29 ) Namor the Sub - Mariner
The Atlantean prince was only an Avengers briefly , and he was a Brobdingnagian dick for most of it . That tell , he ’s captivating whenever he try on to process with others .
30 ) Jessica Jones
A marvellous character who just fall out to work far , far well on her own .
31 ) Maria Hill
Tough as nails , Nick Fury ’s second - in - command was more than capable enough to manoeuver up SHIELD and lead the Avengers . Anyone who can call Tony Stark on his bullshit is alright by us .
32 ) Moon Knight
Marvel ’s psychotic version of Batman for some reason was a great Avenger — well , for readers , maybe not for his squad member .
33 ) Iron Fist
The fact that the Avengers have not had more warriorlike arts master copy on the squad is a pity .
34 ) Sharon Carter
Another amazing female SHIELD factor that link up the Avengers , but most celebrated for hooking up with Captain America .
35 ) Bucky Barnes
While Bucky was the Winter Soldier , Captain America was assassinated , and Bucky decide to carry on the bequest . He did a solid job , but not enough to interchange the pilot for long .
36 ) Captain Britain
The British equivalent of Captain America has done much of his full work as an Avenger .
37 ) Scott Lang , Ant - Man
He ’s Hank Pym but without the genius bit , the develop powers , or , to be fair , the emotional issues .
38 ) Julia Carpenter , Spider - Woman
Not a longsighted - time Avenger , but certainly an asset .
39 ) Amadeus Cho
This untried genius chum up around mostly with Hulk and Hercules , but watch him outsmart the balance of the mastermind on the Avengers was smashing fun .
40 ) Valkyrie
The Lady Thor before Thor became a lady .
41 ) swashbuckler
It was fun seeing the Man Without Fear as a part of a squad , but he ’s just too much of a loner for it to have form for long .
42 ) Mantis
Mantis has had a bizarre amount of major power and backstory . But none of it really explains why she was an Avenger .
43 ) Darkhawk
This cult favorite hero did not become a cult favorite for his time on the Avengers .
44 ) Sersi
This Eternal has a lot of powers , but seemed like she won a random Marvel character lottery to join the squad .
45 ) Quasar
The best affair you’re able to say about Quasar is that equate to many ’ 90s Avengers , he was too unobjectionable to be unspeakable .
46 ) The lookout man
Marvel ’s Superman , but with mental issues . He ’s not a bad character , but he ’s way too overmaster for the Avengers , and that ’s saying something .
47 ) ar
A Greek god that began as a surly , down in the mouth - economic rent Thor , but improved fairly . The Avengers helped his character a lot more than he assist the Avengers .
48 ) Daisy Johnson , seism
Another SHIELD federal agent that joined the Avengers , she ’s puzzle a lot of potential difference .
49 ) Crystal
Not a spoiled bomber , but one who mainly subsist to escort other poor boy , seemingly .
50 ) Flux
A superhero who fall in the Avengers with one calendar month to live . It was even more depressing than you think .
51 - 54 ) Storm , Nova , Stature , Flash Thompson as Venom
Awesome characters who were Avengers for so little time , it essentially does n’t matter .
55 ) Echo / Ronin
This is essentially a ninja . A ninja Avenger is a great idea in theory , but Echo spent most of her meter cause drama for the team .
56 ) Marvel Boy
This disaffected alien teen had no commercial enterprise being on the Avengers in the first place .
57 ) Thunderstrike
The ’ 90 bang - off of Thor . Fine for the time , and best forget now .
58 ) Swordsman
Swordsman ’s biggest accomplishment as an Avenger is training Hawkeye . Mostly he just require to join to get free stuff .
59 - 62 ) Mr. Fantastic , Invisible Woman , Human Torch and The affair
Every member of the Fantastic Four was an Avenger at one point or another . Other than as a marketing thingamabob , they dish up no purpose whatsoever .
63 ) Justice Department
The most generic superhero ever create . His name is Justice , for goodness ’s sake .
64 ) Jack of Hearts
fundamentally , someone wanted the Avengers to have Gambit , but crappier in every way .
65 ) 3 - D Man / Triathlon
This strange character with strange , non three-D - related powers is puzzling and was apparently engage as an Avengers in the ’ 90s as part ofsome variety of Affirmative Action .
66 ) Stingray
Basically , the only intellect Stingray was able to join the Avengers is because they needed to borrow his hydrobase for a while . True story .
67 ) Red Hulk
The resolution to “ What if the Hulk were really lame ? ” This alter - ego of General Ross has been an Avenger just too much of the modernistic Marvel earned run average , and been a wretched fill-in for the original the entire fourth dimension .
68 ) Gilgamesh
When the Avengers reformed in issue # 300 , this immortal hero joined the team and managed to make no impingement whatsoever . The fact that he ’s so unimpressive is actually the most impressive matter about him .
69 ) Starfox
The comrade of Thanos is well - be intimate for having power that make people want to have sex activity , even if it ’s against their will . When he joined the Avengers , he give out to cite this mightiness . He ’s skeezy .
70 ) U.S. Agent
The U.S. Agent is essentially psychotic Captain America . He ’s had his good day when he ’s help the Avengers , but he ’s had just as many sorry ones .
71 ) D - Man
That this joke character ever managed to join the Avengers is one of the Marvel population ’s greatest shame .
72 ) Doctor Druid
Doctor Druid is not a druid , and I have my uncertainty he ’s a MD . Despite the fact that his powers are set to idea restraint , upon joining the Avengers he had his brain controlled and managed to endanger the entire squad . squeamish work .
