| The Avengers (Kurt Busiek) (Comic Book) | comment |
Kurt Busiek had a long Comic Book Run in The Avengers, alongside George Pérez and other artists, starting in 1998.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.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 Dynasty (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. | |

All According to Plan | |
| The Avengers (Kurt Busiek) (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 | |
| The Avengers (Kurt Busiek) (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 | |
| The Avengers (Kurt Busiek) (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 | |
| The Avengers (Kurt Busiek) (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. | |

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 tussles with the X-Men back in X-Men #118-119 (February-March 1979) and Deathlok and the Black Panther in Deathlok #22-23 (May-June 1993), his control of his power was stripped from him by Apocalypse. As a result, Magnum 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. | |

Oh, Crap!: A henchman working for Moses Magnum is gloating about how the Avengers have been beaten, until he hears someone yell out "I say thee..." The henchman has time to let off an "aww, man" before it's Hammer Time. | |

Ms. Fanservice | |

Ms. Fanservice: The Scarlet Witch and Warbird. Even more so with Wanda, when Perez alters her outfit to a belly-dancer-like outfit (Wanda claims it's to get in touch with her "gypsy roots", but let's be honest here). | |

Epic Fail | |

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: 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 | |
| The Avengers (Kurt Busiek) (Comic Book) / int_bf609406 | comment |
New Meat: Justice and Firestar, though they do have lots of prior experience superheroing under their belt, being former New Warriors. But considering that the other members of the Avengers were superheroes far longer than them, they would come off as newbies. | |

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 | |
| The Avengers (Kurt Busiek) (Comic Book) / int_c5249b29 | comment |
Nice Guy: Duane Freeman, 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. He' revealed to be a member of the Triune Understanding, which causes some awkwardness with the Avengers. | |

| The Avengers (Kurt Busiek) (Comic Book) / int_c5f0119c | comment |
Insane Troll Logic: Carol resorts to this due to her drinking problem. 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 | |

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

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 | |
| The Avengers (Kurt Busiek) (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. | |

Not So Similar | |
| The Avengers (Kurt Busiek) (Comic Book) / int_ff66d4c1 | comment |
Not So Similar: Madame Masque thinks that her father Count Nefaria and her former boyfriend Iron Man are both the same scum, feigning concern to steal her stuff. Nefaria is now demolishing the Avengers while she waits unseen in a nearby forest, so that when Nefaria kills the Avengers she can use her own secret weapon to kill him, solving both her problems in one stroke. But her clone had other ideas: she stole the weapon from Masque, shows up to help... and Nefaria kills her (without knowing that she was a clone) in a second with his laser vision. Masque then compares the glee of his father after seemingly killing her with the anguished cry of Iron Man, realizes they are not the same... and jumps to grab the weapon. | |
