Dark Avengers



The Dark Avengers were a group of supervillains who banded together under the leadership of the influential Norman Osborn, who was also the leader of the Thunderbolts and SHIELD. Osborn created the team to defend America after the worldwide Secret Invasion war with the Skrulls. Each of the members took on the identity of one of the Avengers, only in a twisted, antithetical way. When they first appeared, they successfully defended Osborn's ally Doctor Doom from the demon hordes of Morgan Le Fay. They were praised by the public as heroes, but soon showed their true colors.

Osborn formed an alliance with Loki and lead the Dark Avengers in an attack and siege of Asgard. The Dark Avengers disbanded after this war and their final defeat by the real Avengers.

They battled the real Avengers many times throughout their career, as well as the X-Men.
