I didn't know about the Hulk being a robot clown.

Surprised there's no Vikings article today. It used to be somewhat followed on here. Pretty big event occured last night.

"Avengers Assemble" isn't in the MCU though so you can't say it has a different meaning.

The David Letterman issue was during "assistant editors month", when the books liked to poke fun at themselves. Would-be actor Wonder Man got booked on "Late Night", but they'd only take him if the Avengers showed up, so the Vision scrounged up various inactive members, including a temporarily deaf Hawkeye who tried to fake his way through the interview. Letterman didn't really "save" the Avengers, he just clobbered the main villain who sat down for an interview while the Avengers were busy fighting his robots.

The "Carol Danvers gives birth" one was screwed over because a "What If" issue was written around the same time with too similar of a plot to what was originally supposed to happen in the story: Danvers was supposed to be the vessel through which a new Kree Supreme Intelligence was born. Instead of scrapping the "what if", which was farther along, the Avengers book had to be redone on the fly to be about Immortus and end up making very little sense or exhibiting any good taste.


For other interesting Avengers tidbits, especially in light of his film rights have been divided, how about:

-Rogue originally premiered fighting the Avengers in an annual, taking the power of Thor and giving them a good whomping.
-Adamantium was thought up to make Ultron strong enough to take on the whole Avengers line up, and the substance premiered in The Avengers. All of the backstory to the material used in Wolverine's later origin(s) was a retcon. It was originally made in an attempt by SHIELD to recreate the composition of Cap's unbreakable shield.
-Mystique was created as Carol Danvers' arch-enemy. It was only after "Ms. Marvel" was first cancelled that Chris Claremont brought her over into the X-men.

Wow...the headlines and news on this website have gone to absolute crap...

Jeez Josh!! You don't even mention whose the only character to be apart of both the Avengers AND the Justice League
