TheNew Avengers are a team of superheroes appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. The title has been used for fourAmerican comic bookseries. The first two were written byBrian Michael Bendis and depicted a version of Marvel's premiere superhero team, theAvengers. The third was written byJonathan Hickman and depicted a group of characters called theIlluminati (formerly introduced inNew Avengers vol. 1 #7, July 2005). The fourth is written byAl Ewing and depicts the former scientific terrorist groupA.I.M., reformed as "Avengers Idea Mechanics", whose field team has appropriated the name "New Avengers" for itself.
A version of theNew Avengers debuted in theMarvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) filmThunderbolts* (2025), and are set to return inAvengers: Doomsday (2026).
The New Avengers is aspin-off of the long-runningMarvel Comics seriesThe Avengers. The first issue, written byBrian Michael Bendis andpenciled byDavid Finch, was dated January 2005 but appeared in November 2004. Finch penciled the first six issues and issues #11–13. Succeeding pencilers with multiple-issue runs includeSteve McNiven,Leinil Francis Yu,Billy Tan, andStuart Immonen. The roster at first comprisesCaptain America,Luke Cage,Iron Man,Spider-Man and "Spider-Woman" (Veranke). Later stretches included the mutantX-ManWolverine, the unstable and godlikeSentry, and the deaf ninjaEcho, in the guise ofRonin.
The team itself was not named the "New Avengers" within the series. A splinter group of Avengers that chose not to comply with federal superhuman registration, the team considers itself the authentic Avengers. A concurrent government-sanctioned team gathered in the sister seriesThe Mighty Avengers. This series launched in early 2007 and was itself supplanted by a different government-sanctioned team in the seriesDark Avengers, which was launched in late 2008. At this time the team welcomedClint Barton (recently returned from the dead) as Ronin, as well asDoctor Strange andIron Fist.
By the end of the first volume, theNew Avengers team consisted ofRonin,Captain America (Bucky Barnes),Ms. Marvel,Mockingbird,Spider-Man,Spider-Woman (Drew),Wolverine, and team leaderLuke Cage. Writer Brian Michael Bendis said in an interview that these characters are the authentic Avengers because Captain America said they were.[1] This statement is repeated when the team, believing Captain America (Rogers) is alive, attempts to rescue him. Spider-Man claims that if they get Captain America back, they can call themselves Avengers again. Luke Cage contends that they are Avengers already.[2] The series ended withThe New Avengers #64 (April 2010), at the conclusion of the "Siege" storyline. A one-shot titledThe New Avengers: Finale was also released.[3]
In March 2010, Marvel announced the series would be relaunched in June as part of the company's rebranding initiative, "Heroic Age" . In the first issue of the series, the new team consisted ofLuke Cage,Victoria Hand,Iron Fist,Jessica Jones,Mockingbird,Ms. Marvel,Spider-Man,The Thing, andWolverine.[4][5] Wolverine and Spider-Man operated on the mainAvengers team as well as the New Avengers,[5] andDoctor Strange accepted an offer to join the team after their first mission while searching for the new Sorcerer Supreme after the death ofDoctor Voodoo.[6]Daredevil joined the team in issue #16[7] after accepting an offer from Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.[8] Jessica left the team for personal reasons and was later joined by Luke Cage, thus ending that iteration of the team.
New Avengers was renumbered as a new volume in January 2013, written byJonathan Hickman and originally drawn bySteve Epting. The new volume shifted its focus to the powerful group known as theIlluminati, which includesBlack Bolt,Captain America,Doctor Strange,Iron Man,Mister Fantastic, andNamor, who reassembled to confront the threat of incursions.Black Panther and Reed Richards discovered that universal decay centered on Earth was causing universes to collide with one another, with Earth at the focal point. In issue #3, Black Panther, who had previously opposed the existence of the Illuminati, joined the group, and theBeast was brought in to fill the spot vacated by the death ofProfessor X. In the same issue, Captain America leaves.[9][10] In issue #12, after having helped the Illuminati to defeatThanos's army, Black Bolt's brotherMaximus joined the team.Bruce Banner joined the team inAvengers (vol. 5) after discovering the universal decay on his own.
Volume 4 ofNew Avengers launched in October 2015 as a part of theAll-New, All-Different Marvel relaunch, written byAl Ewing with art by Gerardo Sandoval. The comic features a different team from the past three volumes: it focuses onA.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics), a former super-villain group which has been rebranded as the Avengers Idea Mechanics, and their field team which has taken the name of the New Avengers.Sunspot is the new head of A.I.M., withSongbird as the field leader;[11] other members includeWiccan,Hulkling,Squirrel Girl,Pod,Power Man,White Tiger, andHawkeye as an open informant for S.H.I.E.L.D.[12] Later, there is a schism in the team: Wiccan, Hulkling and Squirrel Girl are expelled from A.I.M. and informed by Sunspot that the three of them are now what remains of the New Avengers; during the same story,Cannonball was revealed to be working for A.I.M. as well. Hawkeye, who had been fired from S.H.I.E.L.D., later rejoins the trio of remaining New Avengers to form a lineup jokingly called "Wiccan's Kooky Quartet". During "Civil War II", the New Avengers assist A.I.M. on one last mission, which Hawkeye sits out for reasons of plausible deniability. After Sunspot's funeral, Advanced Idea Mechanics is declared officially dead so the team breaks up,[13] but later reform asU.S.Avengers.[14]
Following the release of the movieThunderbolts* (2025), it was announced in May 2025 that the previously solicitedNew Thunderbolts* ongoing series by writerSam Humphries and artist Ton Lima would be retitled toNew Avengers (vol. 5); [a] The first issue is scheduled for release in June 2025.[15][16][17] The team will be led by theWinter Soldier withWolverine (Laura Kinney),Black Widow,Carnage (Eddie Brock),Hulk,Clea Strange, andNamor on the initial roster.[16][17]
Following a reign of destruction by an insaneScarlet Witch,the Avengers disband. Six months later, with theFantastic Four and theX-Men unable to act, thesupervillainElectro shuts down power at the Raft, a "maximum-maximum security" prison for super-powered criminals, allowing for a mass breakout. "Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman)",[18] an agent for the international law-enforcement agencyS.H.I.E.L.D., is at the Raft with attorney Matt Murdock (Daredevil) and "hero for hire"Luke Cage. They are joined byCaptain America,Iron Man, andSpider-Man. They are also assisted by a mentally unbalancedSentry, who is imprisoned at the Raft. The riot is quelled, although 42 inmates escape. Captain America declares fate has brought this group together, just as it had the original Avengers. Most of the heroes agree to join the team. Daredevil refuses the offer and Sentry flies off.
The team's first mission is to capture the remaining super-powered criminals who escaped during the riot. The unexpected emergence of an unrelated team of youthful heroes, theYoung Avengers, is also a matter of concern. There is also a growing sense of unease with S.H.I.E.L.D. after the disappearance of its leader,Nick Fury. The New Avengers travel to theSavage Land to capture the reptilian mutantSauron, encountering resistance from theSavage Land Mutates (led byBrainchild) and a rogue squadron of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents led byYelena Belova. During this conflict,CanadianmutantWolverine joins the team (while maintaining concurrent membership in the X-Men). The group also recruits theSentry, a powerful hero who erased all memory of his career from the world after he was manipulated by the mutantMastermind and The General.
WithXavier unable to repair the fractured psyche of theScarlet Witch, the New Avengers andCyclops' team of X-Men consider the alternatives. Fearful that the heroes are preparing to kill his sister, formerAvengerQuicksilver convinces her to use her reality-altering powers to transform the planet and its history. Instantaneously,Magneto rules the planet under the banner of the "House of M", with mutants in the majority and non-powered humans as an oppressed minority. Reality is eventually restored, but the Scarlet Witch removes the superhuman abilities from over 99% of the mutants on Earth. These lost powers manifest as theCollective, the assembled energy of the depowered mutants. This energy is controlled by the intelligence known asXorn (who once posed asMagneto) and uses the energy-wielder Michael Pointer as a host. The Avengers manage to separate the two after the Collective/Xorn attempts to re-power Magneto.
After the reckless actions of theNew Warriors result in the deaths of over 600 civilians inStamford, Connecticut, Congress passes theSuperhuman Registration Act, which requires all superhumans to register with the federal government. Many superheroes comply with this law, but others oppose the law on the grounds that it violates civil liberties. This ideological split leads to aCivil War within the New Avengers and the superhuman community at large, withIron Man leading those who comply with the law, andCaptain America leading those who oppose it. By the time that open hostilities between the two factions come to a close,Spider-Man's closely guarded secret identity is exposed to the world, andBill Foster (one ofHank Pym's successors as Giant-Man) is killed. Shortly thereafter, Captain America is seemingly assassinated.
In the aftermath of the superhero civil war, the New Avengers become an unofficial group of unregistered heroes. The team moves toDoctor Strange'sSanctum Sanctorum inGreenwich Village, recruiting the resurrectedClint Barton (now using the name and costume of Ronin). They eventually relocate to an empty apartment building owned by Danny Rand's (Iron Fist) Rand Corporation, but leased in the name of Samuel Sterns (theLeader, an adversary of theHulk).[19][20][21]
Following this, the New Avengers play a major role in repelling the "Secret Invasion" of Earth by theSkrulls, a shapeshifting alien race which has sought to conquer the planet for years. In one confrontation, the team rescues several heroes who had been kidnapped and replaced by Skrull impostors at various unspecified times in the past. This includes the presumed-deadMockingbird, wife ofClint Barton (Ronin), with whom she reunites. Additionally, it is revealed thatSpider-Woman was replaced by the Skrull queenVeranke, prior to the prison break at The Raft that led to the formation of the New Avengers. Thus, Jessica Drew had never been a member of the team.
Upon theSkrulls' defeat,S.H.I.E.L.D. is dismantled and replaced byH.A.M.M.E.R., a new intelligence agency. Norman Osborn (who has beenSpider-Man's archenemy as theGreen Goblin) is placed in control of H.A.M.M.E.R. and theThunderbolts, while assembling a team ofAvenger imposters composed of supervillains. Meanwhile, the revamped New Avengers roster consists ofCaptain America (Bucky Barnes),Luke Cage,Ronin,Mockingbird,Ms. Marvel,[22] Spider-Man, the realSpider-Woman andWolverine. Captain America offers these "new Avengers" his home as a base of operations.Iron Fist announces he must leave the group to attend to personal business, but will remain on call. The team elects Ronin as leader (with Ms. Marvel as second-in-command), and persuades Spider-Man to once again reveal his secret identity to his fellow members.[23]
With the Registration Act having been revoked in the aftermath of theSiege ofAsgard led byNorman Osborn (who is incarcerated for his actions), Steve Rogers (the originalCaptain America, returned from his alleged death) reassembles theAvengers. Steve convinces a reluctantLuke Cage to be part of the new lineup afterTony Stark sells the reconstructedAvengers Mansion to Cage for a dollar, and Steve gives Cage carte blanche to maintain the New Avengers team, leading it as he sees fit. Given the freedom to recruit almost anyone he wants for the New Avengers team (except Iron Man orThor), Cage selectsClint Barton (who has resumed the Hawkeye identity),Iron Fist, Jewel (Cage's wifeJessica Jones),Ms. Marvel,Mockingbird,Spider-Man, theThing (who maintains concurrent membership in the Fantastic Four), andWolverine. Rogers also sends himVictoria Hand on the grounds that she can provide the team with a unique insight from which Rogers feels they will benefit.[5] Although Hawkeye leaves the team when a crisis comes up with the main Avengers team (claiming that he only joined them to spend time with his wife),[24] the team later enlists a now-weakenedDoctor Strange after he assists them in tackling a dimensional crisis.Squirrel Girl andWong are hired as a super-powered babysitter for Cage's and Jewel's baby and mansion housekeeper respectively, although they do not serve directly on the main lineup of the New Avengers.[6]
Spider-Man appears to want to leave the team prior to theFear Itself event due to his distrust of Victoria Hand and his new responsibilities in theFuture Foundation,[25] but subsequent conversations with Wolverine and Luke Cage convince him to remain an active member. AfterFear Itself, the team lineup shifts, initially with the addition ofDaredevil to the team and later with Jessica Jones leaving the team out of fear for her baby Danielle's safety.[26]
Luke Cage leaves the team after the events ofAvengers vs. X-Men to ensure the security of his wife and baby.[27]
The remaining New Avengers band together withDoctor Strange when the Ghost ofDaniel Drumm returns. He possesses each of the New Avengers and kills various evil sorcerers. Convinced that Daniel set his brother (Brother Voodoo) up to fail in his new role, Doctor Strange defeats him by using dark magic (recognizing that Drumm had only killed dark magic specialists while trying to frame Strange). As a result, Doctor Strange subsequently regains his position of Sorcerer Supreme.[28]
Under theMarvel NOW! label, a third volume ofNew Avengers was launched, written byJonathan Hickman. With Hickman in charge of the entireAvengers line,New Avengers carried a parallel storyline to the mainAvengers series. Rather than featuring a traditional team of Avengers, the book focused on theIlluminati.Black Panther joinsBlack Bolt,Captain America,Doctor Strange,Iron Man,Mister Fantastic, andNamor when faced with a universal threat.[9]Beast joins the team as a replacement for the deceasedProfessor X.
Black Panther discovers a second Earth hanging aboveWakanda and witnessesBlack Swan destroy the alternate Earth.[29] Black Panther captures and imprisons the Black Swan and reforms the Illuminati. Using Black Swan's information, Reed Richards discovers the threat of Incursions, a multiversal chain reaction causing universes to collide with one another, with Earth of every universe at the focal point, resulting in the destruction of both universes unless one Earth is destroyed, allowing the other to pass through. As the Illuminati consider darker and darker avenues to save the universe, Captain America's steadfast morals are put at odds with the other members of the Illuminati. Captain America is voted out of the group with a spell of forgetfulness cast by Strange.[30]
Faced with the possibility of having to destroy a world, the scientists of the Illuminati set about building a number of weapons, including a number of antimatter injection bombs similar to the one used by the Black Swan, aDyson sphere designed to weaponize the sun,[31] a Builder Worldkiller ship kept inJupiter's orbit,[32] and a rogue planet kept slightly out-of-phase with Earth.[33] The Illuminati survived a number of incursions using these and other methods; at one nearLiberty Island,Galactus ate the alternate Earth,[34] and they used an antimatter bomb to destroy a dead Earth overLatveria.[35]
During the "Infinity" event, alternate-universe Builders destroy an Earth for the Illuminati.[36] The event ended with the defeat of Thanos' forces and the capture of Thanos and his generalsProxima Midnight andCorvus Glaive, all three of whom were imprisoned in amber by Thanos' sonThane.[37] They joined Black Swan andTerrax as Illuminati prisoners.
The members of the Illuminati became increasingly cut off from the outside community as a result of their actions.Namor's kingdom was destroyed by Proxima Midnight duringThanos' invasion,[38] and Black Panther was cast out ofWakanda for his alliance with Namor, with whom his sisterShuri was at war.[39]Black Bolt and his brotherMaximus faked the Inhuman king's death following the destruction of theTerrigen Bomb to allow theInhumans to rebuild separately from the Illuminati's machinations.[40]Doctor Strange, feeling increasingly cut off from his scientist-dominated colleagues, decided to empower himself to perhaps be able to solve the incursions, and so used the Blood Bible to travel to the Sinner's Market, where he sold his soul in exchange for godlike power.[41] Upon discovering multiversal decay on his own after meeting an alternate version of himself,Bruce Banner confrontsTony Stark, who recruits him into the Illuminati.
Faced with a number of multiversal groups also trying to survive the incursion crisis – the faceless sorcerers the Black Priests, the adaptoid robots the Mapmakers, and the mysterious Ivory Kings – the Illuminati built a device to allow them to view other Earths' pasts so they could see how incursions there were handled.[42] They learned about Mapmakers and Black Priests, but also discovered that Black Swan had teamed up with alternate Illuminati groups in the past, and had even killed alternate versions ofIron Man andReed Richards when they were no longer useful. Just before the team could confront Black Swan about her deception, another incursion occurred, this time pitting the Illuminati against the Great Society, a team of heroes which, like the Illuminati, had thus far fought off incursions to save its world.[43]
Following an eight-monthellipsis during theTime Runs Out storyline, a new group calling themselves the New Avengers emerge. This team consists of former members of the Avengers who broke away from the main team after Captain America partnered with S.H.I.E.L.D. to hunt down the Illuminati.[44]
As part of theAll-New, All-Different Marvel event,Sunspot's branch of the Avengers become the latest incarnation of the New Avengers. Their first opponent ended up being the terrorist organization W.H.I.S.P.E.R. (short for World Headquarters for International Scientific/Philosophical Experimentation and Research) that was founded by Mister Fantastic's Earth-1610 counterpartMaker and consisting of the former members of A.I.M. that were chased off by Sunspot.[45] The New Avengers fought W.H.I.S.P.E.R. to destroy their Life-Minus experiment which involved capturing the souls of the dead in special crystals as part of a plan to create a new lifeform. The crystals were later destroyed bySongbird's sonic scream.[46]
The Life-Minus experiment also conjured up Moridun, a dark entity from the Fifth Cosmos (the Marvel Universe having recently been reborn in its eighth iteration in the events of Secret Wars). The New Avengers encountered Moridun when he took over the body of M'Ryn the Magus — leader of the Knights of the Infinite, a magical order of Kree-Skrull hybrids who revealed Hulkling to be their prophesied future king. When Moridun attacked them and attempted to devour their souls, repeating the phrase "Life is horror", the New Avengers apparently defeated him — but Moridun planted a seed of his consciousness inside Billy Kaplan's mind and began to slowly infect him. Billy changed his codename from Wiccan to Demiurge, and began to act increasingly amoral. They were alerted to Moridun's survival when the Avengers of the year 20XX came back to the present day through A.I.M.'s new time machine, warning that Moridun would destroy Demiurge's soul completely and use his near-godlike power to almost completely destroy the world. Finding Billy already infected, the future Avengers tried to kill him; instead, with Hulkling's help, Billy was able to recognise Moridun's presence in his own mind and successfully defeat him on the mental plane, expelling Moridun from his body and mind. The Maker engineered the prison break of Angela Del Toro, the former White Tiger, and presented her with the Tiger Amulet from the Ultimate Universe. She fought with Ava Ayala in Rome, causing the Tiger Gods from the two amulets to merge into one, leaving Del Toro with the powers of the White Tiger and Ava powerless.
In the "Avengers: Standoff!" event, A.I.M. received a distress call fromRick Jones when he is taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. Hawkeye decided to break with S.H.I.E.L.D. for good and supported a rescue mission. Hulkling, Wiccan and Squirrel Girl, the only three dissenters, were expelled from A.I.M. and teleported to the desert – Sunspot also conferred the name of "New Avengers" on them. The remaining A.I.M. field team successfully rescued Rick from theAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s battlecarrier. In response, the U.S. military launched an attack on Avengers Island with theAmerican Kaiju (a Marine corporal transmogrified into a giant lizard monster) – as A.I.M. evacuated the island, they battled the monster with the mentally-controlled giant robot Avenger Five. Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. also launched a counterattack as led by John Garrett, forcing Songbird to reveal that she had been a deep-cover S.H.I.E.L.D. mole. The American Kaiju was defeated by forcing it back into human form. Rick got cold feet about throwing in with A.I.M. and fled, and as a result S.H.I.E.L.D. successfully detained Hawkeye. The remainder of A.I.M. successfully evacuated to Avenger Two, a secondary base in theSavage Land run by Cannonball.
Hawkeye was fired from S.H.I.E.L.D. for his betrayal. He, Wiccan, Hulkling, and Squirrel Girl decided to reform the New Avengers with Wiccan as the new team leader after fighting the Plunderer together. Meanwhile, Songbird openly became a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, but was in fact still loyal to Sunspot.[47]
The New Avengers has been collected in a series of editions that had both hardcover andtrade paperback releases.
