User blog comment:TheVision185/Mavel: Avengers or not?/@comment-5447843-20121105092021

The avengers and their seperate branches (new avengers, young avengers, secret avengers etc.) are a big part of the marvel universe after the civil war/50 state initiative. But by no means are all characters, even all heroes, a member of the Avengers. They're a big part of marvel but they're not the keystone that holds it all together. The X-Men for starters, not to mention the Mauraders, Sinister Six, Serpent Society, HYDRA, AIM, Runaways, ......Deadpool......, the list goes on.
