F.A.Q. • *What about the U.S. Avengers?* - They came out after this video was made. • *What about the Ultimates?* - They are not an Avengers team in the main Marvel universe. It could be argued that they are in the Ultimate universe, but that's not what this video is about. I used to have more frequently asked questions answered in a pinned post but when I switched over my channel from an individual to a brand account, it deleted all my comments. :( So if you see threads where it looks like I replied, but you can't see anything. That's why.

Drake: * says “G.L.A.” * My brain: “Gustice League of America”

I noticed a joke in the pictures. While Luke Cage bought the mansion for $1, Iron Man had to buy it back for $5. Luke is making a killing on that deal, since he quintupled his money.

Imagine: “defenders: endgame”

The more i get into superhero comics, the more confused i am.

The fact that there's an Avengers team of animals pleases me.

Get ready for the next team, The All new, brand new, new Avengers.

Multitasking is Wolverine's mutant ability. That explains why he appears everywhere in the Marvel universe

Jesus Christ. I knew about the Secret Avengers...I did not know there were so many of them! 0_0

So Avengers A.I. Is the Avengers who were assembled? :)

The young avengers are actually so cool. They assembled to fight kang, yet one of their teammates, iron lad, was actually a past version of kang. its a super weird storyline and i love it

That's a LOT of Avengers Teams...

Young Avengers is my favorite I think, lots of nice parallels and a good variety of personalities, powers and conflicts. I hope they eventually get brought into the MCU.

I always liked the post civil war new avengers led by Luke cage with his main man iron fist, black suit Spider-Man, doctor strange, wolverine, Clint Barton, and echo

The Great Lakes Avengers are more like a C list Superhero group from The Boys rather than an actual Marvel team

West Coast Avengers is my favorite spin-off of the Avengers. Wonder Man is great, and one of the standouts in that title...

It would be pretty cool if you did another episode for the Young Avengers and delved deeper into their storylines and characters. That team deserves more love.

Wait Squirrel Girl is actually powerful? Granted I only seen her tag along side other heroes I always thought she was just a cute character that liked being a hero.

The pet avengers are amazing

It's never simple in comics, even relatively new comics will become complicated as time goes by.

Man this video was life!! So informative thanks so much for this! I was gonna ask for an avengers reading list but this video solved it all!

The Pet Avengers have to definitely be my favourite. I usually like the silly choice.

this is why I find comics too damn confusing to seriously get into, so many teams and characters and continuity and events. it's like you need a god damn doctorate in Marvel Universe studies just to have a BASIC idea of what in god's name is going on.

jesus christ that Avengers 1959 art is absolutely deplorable.

The original New Avengers. Loved that book!

Possibly your best video so far, Drake. I had no idea there were so many teams and it was great to hear the history behind each one plus how any were connected.

I'm actually already planning on reading up on the West Coast Avengers! If you read the Hawkeye Limited 4-issue Series, you'll get Mockingbird's origin, and that will lead into West Coast Avengers. I recommend the Hawkeye set, actually. It's really good!

I actually LOVED Avengers AI. I may be a bit biased because Vision is my favorite Marvel character... But he had a lot of great character moments, Doombot was absolutely hilarious, and the ever-shifting multi game genera fight between Vision and Dimitrios is one of my favorite moments ever! I don't think it's very "important" on the grand scheme of Marvel as a whole but I thought it was a lot of fun, asks a few interesting questions about what life and humanity are (which are questions central to Vision's character and one of my favorite things explored in his his arcs in many series), had an interesting art style. I found it on the whole enjoyable.

Sometimes I wonder how different the MCU would be if Marvel own everything made by them before starting. Like having the rights to Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, ect.

It's so sad that the great lake avengers only lasted about 6 issues, that series was looking to be so good

GREAT video, Drake! It was so cool getting to watch you edit part of this video the other day!

YOUNG AVENGERS!!!!!!!!!!!! HEL YEAH!!!!

Wow, that have must been some work to collect! Great Video! Ceep it Up!

Thanks for the great vid. It's good to see you smiling again brother

finally, this is what I ve been waiting (and searching) for

Amazing Drake. I have no idea how you managed to sort through all of that comic book convolution. Props to you!

Why is my favorite avenger team Great Lakes? Honestly, I think it's because of Doorman. HE'S AMAZING.

Awesome video Drake, and thanks for the Con survival guide at Otakon!

My first comic was with the Avengers team, formed in 2010, after the Siege of Asgard. I remember this team having to help Kang defeat Ultron in the future. This story was in issues 1 to 6. After that, the Avengers fought the Hood, who was in possession of the Infinity Stones. This story was in issues 7 to 14. These comics introduced me to John Romita Jr's art, which I like.

Currently reading through Dark Reign and it’s a blast. Reading all these big events through fully, I do enjoy how they do become the status quo for awhile and have a lasting effect.

great video man, thanks for this

2:09 oh my god that it’s always sunny reference

15:27 That Dragon looks like a mixture of fing fang foom, the hulk and Ben swolo

Since this video came out 4 years ago: U.S. Avengers happened. The Avengers have also had two new relaunches since “all-new all-different.” Specifically, Avengers vol. 7 & 8. The West Coast Avengers had a revival in 2018 led by the Hawkeyes. Savage Avengers is also a thing that exists, though I’m not sure if it would be considered a “real” Avengers lineup or not.

Great video Drake. Nice intro too!

Drake, keep up the good work! You have a great channel!

I like how in the MCU Thanos is a huge threat as well as other marvel comics. Then the pet avengers single handedly defeat him

New Avengers came out before the Mighty Avengers. You also missed the Avengers Initiates that were trained before Secret Invasion

2:09 love the reference to IASIP

I bloody LOVE the GLA. They have some great runs

Also maybe a full video about Luke Cage/Power Man for the Netflix show

so glad you're back!

That "it's always sunny" reference took me by surprise

can u explain squirrel girl

Good job.Keep up the good work Drake.

Man american comics is insanely convoluted

Nice Video Buddy

Nice vid drake one of my favourites

there is also an unofficial team of teenage heroes who are considered avenger but participated in the comics avenger arena and undercover, they are mainly avenger academy characters, runways, and a few new guys.

great video man

It's easier to count the characters who haven't been avengers

Great job!

THIS COMIC BOOK ROCKS TO THE CORE! THANKS GUY!

I heard so many times the word Avengers, that I got dizzy, sick and sleepy at the same time.

HOLY COW I MUST CHECK OUT THE PET AVENGERS. THAT SOUND SO SWEET AND BADASS AT THE SAME TIMEEEE.

The Avengers (2018/2019) has a DOPE roster! Also my favorite Avengers group is either The Dark Avengers or Avengers 1 million BC

My favourite is still the OG ones and the 10000BC one

i hope this is worth the wait

I wasn't really big on A-Force, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE SINGULARITY SO MUCH XDD

Wow this is awesome

Great to see the throne back! Great video too!

I love the background music. Sounds like something you hear in a night club.

Loved the always sunny reference

11:30 Fun Fact: The West Coast Avengers were translated as "Los Nuevos Vengadores" (The New Avengers) in the comics translated in Spain by the editorial label Cómics Forum, many years before the the Bendis' comics.

Nice video keep it up!

6:20 Okay...... That was a revealing shot

Hey Drake, ever think about doing a video about obscure/forgotten Marvel cartoons? If the thought ever enraptures your curiosity, I recommend “The Avengers: United They Stand” show which ran from October 1999 to February of 2000. I recently found it on Disney+ and got really excited because I saw a bit of a random episode years and years ago but had no idea what I was watching. I immediately recognized Wonder Man and the Scarlet Witch’s designs tho.

This was great! i disnt known about the A-Force!

Me: How many Avengers teams are there? This guy: *Yes*

great video!

Brilliant video. My favourite team was the young avengers.

A FORCE and Young Avengers!!

I though the video was about the roster changes in the main team, didn't remembered there was as much Avengers Team out there.

I actually read the first few pages of A-force and never realized it. Wow.

Loved it drake

The Great Lakes Avengers are my fave! Also you didn't mention the "U.S.Avengers"

Ah a video in which i am or am not like, you fine sir have sold me on a video now time to watch it.

Really nice video

I find it funny that the 1950s avengers all did the same pose with their drink. I also didn't help that like all the guys look almost identical in those frames as well. Also Norman Osborn being the Iron Patriot in the Spider Man cartoon makes much more sense now.

there's also that Mighty Avengers team that Luke Cage's father was on with Blade for about 5 minutes, just long enough for an expositional flashback.

I thought you were gonna go over every roster change since their debut. I was like drake do you value your sanity??? But this makes much more sense XD

My favorite is the west coast avengers, seeing as I have spent my whole live living in west coast and some of my favorite characters have been on the team. (Moon knight, Hawkeye, wonder man, gwenpool)

Am I the only one who wants to see an episode of an animated Avengers cartoon focusing on Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers? Or like an animated movie with them or something? Just the concept of it alone has me sold on the idea

cool video! I liked the Dark Avengers lol and all the teen stuff

I got a team video idea for you. The Fantastic Four has had a few different people in the team. Like the Avengers, Spiderman and Wolverine were on a few of those teams.

you did very good but the prehistoric avengers is amazing. Odin and the phoenix Force as a couple

Great Lake Avengers won my heart.

6:28 uh, the Mighty Avengers didn't form after the secret invasion event, but after the first Civil War event. Secret Invasion happened after all that.

Love the new intro!

“The avengers are the single most well known super hero team in the entire marvel universe.” X-men/FF4 are just hammered shit I guess
