History ComicBook / Avengers2016

[[quoteright:295:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avengers_vol_7_1_textless.jpg]]

The SequelSeries to Creator/MarkWaid's ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentAvengers, picking up right where the end of Civil War II and the first scene of ComicBook/Champions2016 left off: Nova, Spider-Man (Miles Morales) and Ms. Marvel have all quit the Avengers and the team itself is strained folloing Civil War II. Joining the remaining members of the team ([[ComicBook/TheFalcon Captain America]], [[ComicBook/Thor2014 Thor]], ComicBook/TheVision) are The Wasp (Nadia Pym), [[ComicBook/Hercules2015 Herc]][[ComicBook/IncredibleHercules ules]] and [[ComicBook/SpiderMan The Amazing Spider-Man]]. And just in time too, as the Avengers find themselves embroiled in "Kang War" due to The Vision stealing the infant Kang from his crib.

Concurrently with this series are a series of ".1" issues following ComicBook/CapsKookyQuartet and going more in depth into how three super criminals went from being hated by the public to being loved and trusted by it and is said to have some connection to the current run. Both series are part of ComicBook/MarvelNOW2016.

Following the ComicBook/MarvelLegacy relaunch the series was renumbered to #672 and crossed over with [[ComicBook/Champions2016 the concurrent run of Champions]] in an arc called "Worlds Collide" to stop the High Evolutionary from causing Earth's destruction.

This series, along with ComicBook/NewAvengers2015 and ComicBook/UncannyAvengers, lead into the weekly ComicBook/AvengersNoSurrender event, which was co-written by Mark Waid, used the same numbering as this series, and featured members of this iteration of the team.

----
!!Avengers (2016) contains examples of:
* TheAtoner: Peter clearly regrets his actions during Civil War II and in order to make up for them has made the Avengers a new HQ and says it was Spider-Man's idea.
* BigBadDuumvirate: The various versions of Kang.
* BigDamnHeroes: The heroes are saved from being erased by existence by a GoodCounterpart of Kang pulling them into [[PlaceBeyondTime Limbo]].
* BodyHorror: In Worlds Collide, High Evolutionary plans to give Sam actual wings... just like the ones his former sidekick the other Falcon has.
* BreatherEpisode: Issue #11, which is the first issue after ''ComicBook/SecretEmpire'' and the first before their crossover with the [[ComicBook/Champions2016 Champions]].
* CombinationAttack: Captain America pulls one of these off on the fly, throwing his shield to Herc and having Herc hold it while Thor strikes it with her hammer counting on Herc to hold it steady. He does and the resulting strike creates a sonic boom that defeats the monster they were fighting.
* ComicsMerger: After issue 674, it merges with ''ComicBook/UncannyAvengers'' and ''ComicBook/USAvengers'' to form the new weekly book ''ComicBook/AvengersNoSurrender'', which continues the numbering at #675.
* ContinuityNod:
** Sam mentions how most of the team left when recruiting Hercules.
** Herc mentions trying to improve himself and his reputation, a nod to his series, and is clearly touched by Sam asking him to join the Avengers, a nod to how he wasn't called to help with the Celestial during Civil War II unlike everyone else.
** Nadia doesn't trust Spidey, a nod to how her surrogate mom didn't in the original Avengers comics.
** Wasp speaks very much how she did in the Stan Lee stories in issue .1.
* CurbStompBattle: Cap's Kooky Quartet end up on the wrong end of one courtesy of the Frightful Four.
* DeadpanSnarker: Spider-Man naturally. Thor also gets in on this.
* DeconstructedTrope: All over issue .1:
** Cap's Kooky Quartet is not seen favorably by the public due to being former super villains, especially Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch due to being former mutant terrorists.
** Cap dosen't react well to the rest of the team leaving on short notice and has trouble managing his new team of complete strangers.
** Finally the team is easily thrashed by the Frightful Four due to a combination of inexperience working together and a distinct lack of power compared to the previous lineup (Wanda having not taken the levels of badass she took in later years).
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Thanks to the events of ''ComicBook/SecretEmpire'', Peter destroyed Parker Industries... and left the Avengers without a base. Since this team doesn't know Peter and Spider-Man are one and the same, poor Pete has to deal with their anger and has to hold his tongue.
* DolledUpInstallment: Issue 9. It really should've been a Mighty Thor issue, as she's the only Avenger who appears.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Issue 1 ends with the entire team being slowly erased from existence.]]
** Issue .1 ends with Cap's Kooky Quartet thoroughly thrashed and Wasp regretting leaving the team.
* EnemyMine: Kang and Scarlet Centurion team up due to having similar goals.
* FourIsDeath: The original Frightful Four show up.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Doom is set to assist the team sometime in the future, whether it sticks or not remains to be seen.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: The Vision's kidnapping of an infant Kang towards the end of the previous volume is a major plot point here.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: There will be a fight between the Avengers and the Champions, easily showing that there is still some heavy tension between the former members of the ANAD Avengers.
* IrrationalHatred: The first issue shows Nadia has an extreme dislike for Spider-Man, even though prior to then they've never met. It takes a few issues but Spidey wins over Nadia... only for her to just start hating Peter.
* MoreDakka: Hercules opens the series firing a machine gun at a monster.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Despite his open armed welcome, poor Spidey is constantly crapped on by the other Avengers. It probably doesn't help that Peter's never worked with most of these Avengers and the people who used the names of his teammates don't know him as intimately as they did.
* OffhandBackhand: When Kang tries to age Hercules to impotence if not death, Herc slaps him away while boasting that he'll be alive to see the sun grow cold, so taking away "centuries" of his life is meaningless.
* OffModel: For some reason, both Mike del Mundo and Phil Noto draw Nadia with longer hair instead of the bob and bangs she wears in [[ComicBook/TheUnstoppableWasp her solo title]] and ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentAvengers''.
* PutOnABus: Ms. Marvel, Nova and Spider-Man (Miles Morales) all quit the team prior to the first issue.
** Iron Man however is [[spoiler:in a coma from the aftermath of Civil War.]]
* RagsToRiches: Setting wise. The team goes from the dingy Stark Hanger to the ritzy well-prepped upper floors of the Baxter Building.
** What convinces Hawkeye to stay as an Avenger after nearly quitting on impulse, as he's gone from being a fugitive and before that a carny, to having a butler who can bring him lobster on command.
* SequelSeries: Picks up where All-New All-Different Avengers left off and continues the plot threads from there that are left out of Champions. Also counts as a slight example to ComicBook/Hercules2015 due to including Hercules and continuing his quest to redeem himself.
* SeriesFauxnale: Issue #11 is ''technically'' the last of its volume, but this version of team (still written by Waid) continues through to the legacy numbering of ''Avengers''.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: After being saved by Hercules, Nadia is tasked with returning baby Kang to its proper place in history.
* SixthRanger: Hercules and Spider-Man join the already established team: Herc due to helping the team out with an ice monster and gelling with them instantly and Spidey due to both setting up the team's new HQ and jumping in to help against Kang without hesitation.
** It's heavily implied Cap's Kooky Quartet is getting one who didn't survive.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Issue 10, which features the [[ComicBook/SecretEmpire Hydra Avengers]] instead of the regular team. Vision is the only one in both lineups.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Hercules is this towards Kang's RetGone attack on the Avengers - Sybil believes that Kang either didn't think he was worth killing or he had absolutely no idea ''when'' Herc was born.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamWork: Nadia really doesn't like Spider-Man. Just like the [[ComicBook/TheWasp first Wasp]] didn't at first back in the original 1963 series.
** The whole team and Doom, going both ways. According to an interview with Mark Waid, Doom sees working with the team akin to working with a pack of uncooperative sled dogs.
* TheBusCameBack: The Scarlet Centurion who hasn't been seen in some time.
* WhatTheHellHero: Sam lays into The Vision for hiding his kidnapping from the rest of the team and never intending to tell them, putting them all in jeopardy.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Averted at the end of issue 1: [[spoiler:Kang and Scarlet Centurion go into the time stream and, now free of paradoxes, destroy all of the Avengers before they were born, causing them to unravel in the present.]]

** Cap's Kooky Quartet is not seen favorably by the public due to being former super villains, especially Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch due to being former mutant terrorists.
