User blog comment:Beast of Averoigne/Just who is an Avenger?!/@comment-2031194-20130920022149

Wow, great list! I've always liked to know who how many people have actually been Avengers. Some of the names on that list are hard to believe that the Avengers actually recruited them. About a half dozen of those characters I've never even heard of. I assume Marvel added them in hopes of having more characters gain popularity by being included in a popular team book with other big names. They're still trying that now with the Avengers, but it seems like they're still having little success at that.
