    Default Passed over for the Avengers

    This post is dedicated to all the characters that had story arcs or appearances which made them on the cusp of being made Avengers. This is not a post for Honorary Memebers, Avengers-in-training, or full fledge Avengers.

    ex. The Shroud (West Coast Avengers mini series and promotional art).

    Hellstorm recently in Bendis' run. I always thought he'd be a good fit for the team, but I don't think his membership was ever made official.

    Peace

    Was Doctor Voodoo ever technically an Avenger? Or did he just show up to be used as a plot device?

    AFAIK, he was never made an official Avenger.

    Voodoo would have made a good Avenger.

    Hellstrom probably would have made a terrible Avenger, but that would have been a fun train wreck to watch. He's just a fun character.

    Blue Marvel and Songbird came pretty close to being Avengers. They were asked but they refused. I think they would have been solid fits. I can probably throw Genis-Vell in there, at least before he went completely nuts.

    And I guess we can say Squirrel Girl (unless the Great Lake Avengers actually count as Avengers). Being Cages nanny put her in the book, but she wasn't actually on the team.

    Yep.

    By that account, we'd also have to include Agatha Harkness and Marilla.

    Another that I thought would make the team but didn't was Firelord during Stern's run.

    The Dazzler was asked twice to join the Avengers but she turned them down.
