Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) | comment |
Kurt Busiek had a long Comic Book Run in The Avengers, alongside George Pérez and other artists, starting in 1998.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It started with Heroes Return, a massive story that sent all the surviving Avengers that had ever been (up to that date) against Morgan Le Fay. After that, the team was reduced to a more manageable size of seven regular members and two reservists, but Continuity Porn and guest stars continued to appear. Justice and Firestar, former members of the New Warriors, were the newest members of the team, and two new characters, Triathlon and Silverclaw, were introduced and eventually added to the team.Among other storylines, the Scarlet Witch learns that her mutant ability is actually a power to control chaos magic, which she tries to use to resurrect Wonder Man from the dead, leading her into a Love Triangle with Wonder Man and The Vision. A mysterious cult called the Triune Understanding attempts to stir up bad publicity against the Avengers, and Carol Danvers falls into alcoholism and is removed from the team, though she later returns.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Some specific story arcs set in this period are: Heroes Return Avengers Forever (a standalone comic, but also by Busiek and written at the same time) Ultron Unlimited The Death Song of Kulan Gath The Kang War (The Grand Finale) JLA/Avengers - a crossover with the Justice League, of DC Comics. It is actually considered in-continuity to both universes, though its canonicity to the DC Universe following Flashpoint is unconfirmed.Busiek left the Avengers shortly after the team was reimagined in the Ultimate Marvel universe as The Ultimates, fearing that this new version would overshadow the original group. | |

All According to Plan | |
Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_167bd2ca | comment |
All According to Plan: The cross-through "Live Kree or Die" ends with Cap confronting the Supreme Intelligence, pointing out the number of rather suspicious coincidences through the event, and how he figures the SI arranged them for its own benefit. It says nothing, but the narration notes how things have worked out well for it - the Lunatic Legion are gone, and it's got a whole bunch of humans to study at its leisure. | |

Alternate Company Equivalent | |
Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_200c8312 | comment |
Alternate Company Equivalent: To JLA (1997). Much like how that was a return to basics after years of stuff like "Justice League Detroit" and Justice League International was for the Justice League of America, this was to the Avengers after stuff like The Crossing and Heroes Reborn. Both even start off with line-ups with classic members: JLA featuring a return to the Big Seven only with Wally West and Kyle Rayner replacing Barry Allen and Hal Jordan respectively; this run started with Captain America, Iron Man (complete with it being the classic Tony Stark), Thor, Hawkeye, the Scarlet Witch, the Vision, and Ms. Marvel (albeit going by "Warbird"), and being joined by new members Justice and Firestar as reservists initially. | |

Hero with Bad Publicity | |
Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_313e9485 | comment |
Hero with Bad Publicity: A recurring theme for the first few years of the run is the Triune Understanding's plot to do this to the Avengers (who traditionally don't get this treatment in-universe) by encouraging protests against them and creating fights just for the Avengers to lose. Before them, the Squadron Supreme slander the Avengers by claiming they're Skrull imposters. The ensuing fight which occurs when the Squadron attacks them in the middle of a rescue mission doesn't help. | |

Clones Are People, Too: Vision becomes angry and resentful after Wonder Man's resurrection. But not because of the Love Triangle: it's because Vision's mind is based on that of Simon. Jazz, literature, chess... everything he likes comes from him. He could dismiss it and be his own person while Simon was dead, but now that he's alive, he feels like an Expendable Clone. | |

Blessed with Suck: A major source for angst with Firestar is that she isn't immune to the microwave effects of her Mutant powers, and using it too much could sterilize her. Of course, once the Avengers find out about this, Hank Pym manages to fix that no problemo. | |

Doing in the Scientist | |
Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_4d1a06be | comment |
Doing In the Scientist: For decades, the Scarlet Witch had been defined as a mutant with a vaguely science-based power to alter probabilities, who supplemented this power with some study of magic. Busiek had Wanda's mentor Agatha Harkness reveal to her that her mutant power was actually to control chaos magic, and that she had been unconsciously using that magic in everything she had done — which may sound familiar because the Marvel Cinematic Universe eventually used a similar explanation from the same character. | |

Brought Down to Badass: Technically, Carol Danvers. She's lost the massive amount of power she had as Binary, and is reduced to being a low-level Flying Brick, so she's still capable of holding her own in a fight, but she still takes it very hard, and that impacts her ability to function. | |

Power Incontinence: Moses Magnum, earth-shaking supervillain, stays in his private resort / floating fortress. Turns out when Wonder Man body-checks him onto dry land that there was a reason for this - after his tussle with the X-Men (waaaaay back in the 70s), he'd been saved by Apocalypse, who took away his control. Moses can't set foot on land without causing uncontrollable quakes. Like the land he's on at that very moment. He's buried by an avalanche. | |

Epic Fail | |
Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: Issue 4 begins with many Avengers trying to stop Whirlwind robbing a bank. Unfortunately, there's so many Avengers they all trip over one another, and he manages to make a clean getaway. For added humiliation, it's all caught on camera. | |

Love Triangle: Wanda wants to go back with Vision, but he rejects her, because he doesn't want her to suffer. Fortunately, Wonder Man is around... | |

Came Back Wrong | |
Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_b983a56b | comment |
Came Back Wrong: The Grim Reaper resurrects Captain Marvel, Hellcat, Doctor Druid and Thunderstrike to get revenge on the Avengers. They look like animated corpses with glowing eyes, and are under his control. | |

New Meat | |
Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_bf609406 | comment |
New Meat: Justice and Firestar, though they do have lots of prior experience superheroing under their belt. But when the rest of the team are veterans, anyone's going to look like a newbie. | |

Hope Spot | |
Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: After having been booted off the team, Warbird's sitting and sulking in a bar, when she hears about the Avengers fighting on the Moon. She determinedly storms out and tries to fly to the Moon, where she'll rub her usefulness in everyone's faces by saving the day. Only, thanks to her depowering, she can't break orbit anymore, and she falls back to Earth. Her failure drives her right back to the bar. | |

Nice Guy | |
Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_c5249b29 | comment |
Nice Guy: Duane, the team's government liaison, and about as unlike previous liaison Henry Gyrich as it's possible to be. Tony in particular finds his niceness off-putting. | |

Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_c5f0119c | comment |
Insane Troll Logic: Drunk Carol. Cap politely asks her to use her powers in a combat situation (y'know, as you'd expect the team leader to do)? Oh, you don't believe women can think for themselves, huh?! | |

Church of Happyology: The Triune Understanding cult is clearly supposed to represent this. Their legal reprisal against all public criticism emulates it in particular. | |

Loads and Loads of Characters: After the events of the first story, there's thirty-odd Avengers around. The next issue after is everyone working out how to winnow that down to a manageable level. | |

Absolute Cleavage: One issue begins with Firestar having A Moment examining the new costume Wasp's given her, which has a plunging neckline going down her stomach. She does take the costume, but she fills the gap in so there's no flesh on display. | |

Exact Words | |
Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Vision explains to Wanda that their marriage vows specified "till death do us part". He considers his being smashed by Morgan as sufficient to count as death to release her from her vows. Wanda... isn't tremendously taken with this reasoning and storms out. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
Kurt Busiek's Avengers (Comic Book) / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Wonder Man only ever tends to appear when Wanda is in danger. After a few issues of this, the implications of using Simon as, essentially, a beat-stick start to bother Wanda. When the Avengers are getting attacked by some of Moses Magnum's goons, one starts crowing about how well they're doing when someone off-screen bellows "I say thee..." The henchman, recognising only one person says that, has just enough time to get out an "aww" before it's Hammer Time. | |
