F.A.Q. • *What about the U.S. Avengers?* - They came out after this video was made. • *What about the Ultimates?* - They are not an Avengers team in the main Marvel universe. It could be argued that they are in the Ultimate universe, but that's not what this video is about. I used to have more frequently asked questions answered in a pinned post but when I switched over my channel from an individual to a brand account, it deleted all my comments. :( So if you see threads where it looks like I replied, but you can't see anything. That's why.
I know this is late but what about the young avengers that are the children of the og avengers like cap and black widows son and storm and black panthers son?
I noticed a joke in the pictures. While Luke Cage bought the mansion for $1, Iron Man had to buy it back for $5. Luke is making a killing on that deal, since he quintupled his money.
I wish that's a comedy movie like Ghostbusters. A bunch of feckers fucking around as superheroes for hire, until they stumble a cosmic threat they have to defeat to save existence.
Nah man, it's gonna be called The Extremely new, Exclusively Updated, Uncanny, Unbridled, Undisputed, super duper remixed, revamped, re-edited, extraordinary, not so inconclusive, All-new, A-1 Duck Sauce Mastered Ultra Avengers!! Featuring Future Throg, and Possibly Naked Squirrel Girl
The young avengers are actually so cool. They assembled to fight kang, yet one of their teammates, iron lad, was actually a past version of kang. its a super weird storyline and i love it
stream iridescence Also the whole storyline with Wiccan and Speed in which Scarlet Witch is technically their mother but they also have other separate bio-moms... and they’re twins but they’re also not related... yeah. It’s hard to wrap your head around, but still really cool storytelling. And I just love how heir team is literally run on “Well we were told no and we don’t like being told no, so...”
My only problem is that the entire lineup is just the regular avengers but… young. Like wow nice creativity there marvel, I’m sure you were very proud of yourselves.
@@tezmard3003 yeah but hes got the same basically powers and appearance. like imagine if the West Coast Avengers were just War Machine, Trickshot, U.S Agent, Venom, Sabretooth, and Beta Ray Bill.
Young Avengers is my favorite I think, lots of nice parallels and a good variety of personalities, powers and conflicts. I hope they eventually get brought into the MCU.
I always liked the post civil war new avengers led by Luke cage with his main man iron fist, black suit Spider-Man, doctor strange, wolverine, Clint Barton, and echo
@@imkluu Spider-woman was initially on their side, but switched after they found out about elektra being a skrull. It turns out spider-woman was also a skrull, so she actually was never with the new avengers.
He didnt mention a lot of them tho:US,Occupy,Resistance,Doctor Dooms and Astonishing.And If A-Force counts,shouldnt Ultimates and the new Squadron count to??? They were in the ANAD Avengers promotional material and in the 0 issue.
***** But the New Avengers book is getting turned into the US Avengers with Squirrel Girl,Sunspot,Cannonball,Red Hulk etc. which is basically a relaunch .I don't know if Occupy is going to be an official team but so far I think they confirmed Hawkeye,Red Wolf,White Tiger and Night Thrasher (I'm not sure tho) . I can understand Squadron and Ultimates, but I always counted them as being Avengers team since they were in the 0 issue. I didn't bother to read anything about AXIS except for Superior Iron Man so I wouldn't know about Astonishing Avengers.
adamsdownfall It's weird to me that they're recruiting Anti-Man (Blue Marvel's nemesis) and Galactus,but whatever I'll still follow the story. ITS AMAZING
It would be pretty cool if you did another episode for the Young Avengers and delved deeper into their storylines and characters. That team deserves more love.
this is why I find comics too damn confusing to seriously get into, so many teams and characters and continuity and events. it's like you need a god damn doctorate in Marvel Universe studies just to have a BASIC idea of what in god's name is going on.
I mean that's all you can do really just because of how impossibly vast everything is. The MCU is somewhat more beginner-friendly for that reason considering how recently it started. granted the main films are all expensive and can't be steamed anywhere.... I appreciate the response BTW!
Possibly your best video so far, Drake. I had no idea there were so many teams and it was great to hear the history behind each one plus how any were connected.
I actually LOVED Avengers AI. I may be a bit biased because Vision is my favorite Marvel character... But he had a lot of great character moments, Doombot was absolutely hilarious, and the ever-shifting multi game genera fight between Vision and Dimitrios is one of my favorite moments ever! I don't think it's very "important" on the grand scheme of Marvel as a whole but I thought it was a lot of fun, asks a few interesting questions about what life and humanity are (which are questions central to Vision's character and one of my favorite things explored in his his arcs in many series), had an interesting art style. I found it on the whole enjoyable.
Wait Squirrel Girl is actually powerful? Granted I only seen her tag along side other heroes I always thought she was just a cute character that liked being a hero.
@@ljaquos I have been told this a few times. I may have seen her once in something but other than on this vid and fan art I don't consume much comic universe stuff with her in it.
I'm actually already planning on reading up on the West Coast Avengers! If you read the Hawkeye Limited 4-issue Series, you'll get Mockingbird's origin, and that will lead into West Coast Avengers. I recommend the Hawkeye set, actually. It's really good!
My first comic was with the Avengers team, formed in 2010, after the Siege of Asgard. I remember this team having to help Kang defeat Ultron in the future. This story was in issues 1 to 6. After that, the Avengers fought the Hood, who was in possession of the Infinity Stones. This story was in issues 7 to 14. These comics introduced me to John Romita Jr's art, which I like.
Since this video came out 4 years ago: U.S. Avengers happened. The Avengers have also had two new relaunches since “all-new all-different.” Specifically, Avengers vol. 7 & 8. The West Coast Avengers had a revival in 2018 led by the Hawkeyes. Savage Avengers is also a thing that exists, though I’m not sure if it would be considered a “real” Avengers lineup or not.
Currently reading through Dark Reign and it’s a blast. Reading all these big events through fully, I do enjoy how they do become the status quo for awhile and have a lasting effect.
Avengers Academy had the wildest comic issue where everyone was protecting a Sentinel from Emma Frost, and just straight up ignoring that Sentinels are literal genocide machines.
Am I the only one who wants to see an episode of an animated Avengers cartoon focusing on Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers? Or like an animated movie with them or something? Just the concept of it alone has me sold on the idea
My favourite Avengers team are The New Avengers cause in "Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes", they defeated Kang the Conquer and because they have two of my favourite Marvel Heroes: Spidey and Wolverine.
Sometimes I wonder how different the MCU would be if Marvel own everything made by them before starting. Like having the rights to Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, ect.
11:30 Fun Fact: The West Coast Avengers were translated as "Los Nuevos Vengadores" (The New Avengers) in the comics translated in Spain by the editorial label Cómics Forum, many years before the the Bendis' comics.
there is also an unofficial team of teenage heroes who are considered avenger but participated in the comics avenger arena and undercover, they are mainly avenger academy characters, runways, and a few new guys.
I find it funny that the 1950s avengers all did the same pose with their drink. I also didn't help that like all the guys look almost identical in those frames as well. Also Norman Osborn being the Iron Patriot in the Spider Man cartoon makes much more sense now.
Hey Drake, ever think about doing a video about obscure/forgotten Marvel cartoons? If the thought ever enraptures your curiosity, I recommend “The Avengers: United They Stand” show which ran from October 1999 to February of 2000. I recently found it on Disney+ and got really excited because I saw a bit of a random episode years and years ago but had no idea what I was watching. I immediately recognized Wonder Man and the Scarlet Witch’s designs tho.
My favourites are the Young Avengers because I am a strong advocate of role models that teenagers can relate to on a more personal level and the Great Lakes Avengers because of how fun and bizarre the concept is. :)
My favorite is the west coast avengers, seeing as I have spent my whole live living in west coast and some of my favorite characters have been on the team. (Moon knight, Hawkeye, wonder man, gwenpool)

It does make it confusing when you only want to read a few comics or follow a favorite character.
It's never simple in comics, even relatively new comics will become complicated as time goes by.
The original New Avengers. Loved that book!
The Pet Avengers have to definitely be my favourite. I usually like the silly choice.

Amazing Drake. I have no idea how you managed to sort through all of that comic book convolution. Props to you!
New Avengers came out before the Mighty Avengers. You also missed the Avengers Initiates that were trained before Secret Invasion

GREAT video, Drake! It was so cool getting to watch you edit part of this video the other day!
It's so sad that the great lake avengers only lasted about 6 issues, that series was looking to be so good

I bloody LOVE the GLA. They have some great runs
Why is my favorite avenger team Great Lakes?
Honestly, I think it's because of Doorman. HE'S AMAZING.
To be honest, that seems like a fun superpower to use in creative ways.
Make door man movie
I live very close to the great lakes so when I found out where doorman is I was very excited
Who doesn’t like doorman
can u explain squirrel girl
No... I don't think anyone can.
SO MANY SQUIRRELS
She is a hero with squirrel powers.
I can! but i won't here....
Powers of squirrel and powers of girl
i think that Wasp came up with the name AVENGERS because she became a hero to avenger her dad
Man american comics is insanely convoluted
Better then shitty anime
YOUNG AVENGERS!!!!!!!!!!!! HEL YEAH!!!!
It's easier to count the characters who haven't been avengers
Next avengers. Avengers' kids that exist in the future, often led by tony stark and/or hulk. They fight ultron and kang I believe.
15:27 That Dragon looks like a mixture of fing fang foom, the hulk and Ben swolo
The Avengers (2018/2019) has a DOPE roster! Also my favorite Avengers group is either The Dark Avengers or Avengers 1 million BC
Currently reading through Dark Reign and it’s a blast.
Reading all these big events through fully, I do enjoy how they do become the status quo for awhile and have a lasting effect.
I like how in the MCU Thanos is a huge threat as well as other marvel comics.
Then the pet avengers single handedly defeat him
That "it's always sunny" reference took me by surprise
Thanks for the great vid. It's good to see you smiling again brother
finally, this is what I ve been waiting (and searching) for
