History ComicBook / NewAvengers2015

During [[ComicBook/TheAvengersJonathanHickman Jonathan Hickman's]] ''[[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avengers]]'', Roberto da Costa / ComicBook/{{Sunspot}} (formerly of the ComicBook/NewMutants) bought out AIM (Advanced Idea Mechanics) and transformed it into the ''Avengers'' Idea Mechanics. Operating out of the new Avengers Island is this new AIM's field team, with team leader [[ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} Songbird]] leading [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Hulkling, Wiccan]], ComicBook/SquirrelGirl, ComicBook/WhiteTiger, [[ComicBook/MightyAvengers Power Man]], [[AndZoidberg and]] ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} (who is the super secret SHIELD traitor on the team... except that it's not a secret, and everyone knows).

Operating out of the new Avengers Island is this new AIM's field team, with team leader [[ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} Songbird]] leading [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Hulkling, Wiccan]], ComicBook/SquirrelGirl, ComicBook/WhiteTiger, [[ComicBook/MightyAvengers Power Man]], [[AndZoidberg and]] ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} (who is the super secret SHIELD traitor on the team... except that it's not a secret, and everyone knows).

** When Hawkeye is introduced as the ''super secret S.H.I.E.L.D. traitor on the team'' Sunspot seemed to take issue with it, [[spoiler:but what he actually ended up saying was "could we get the ''[[DistaffCounterpart other]] [[Comicbook/YoungAvengers Hawkeye]]?'']]. Clint looked positively insulted.

* BigBad: [[Comicbook/UltimateFantasticFour Ultimate Reed Richards/The Maker]], who is running his new organization of W.H.I.S.P.E.R. in an EvilCounterpart version of the newly heroic A.I.M.

** And also that Squirrel Girl isn't or isn't entirely a mutant [[Comicbook/TheUnbeatableSquirrelGirl according to her mom and science]].
** The Maker complains that the rules of science in this world are far more fantastical and less grounded than what he is [[Comicbook/UltimateMarvel used to]].
** In issue 5, the Maker is introduced with [[spoiler:[[Comicbook/SecretWars2015 "He comes in slices"]]]].

** In issue 11 Wiccan, Hulkling, and Squirrel Girl regroup and talk about future superheroing plans in a diner and the narration even points out that "yes, it servers breakfast meats" as a nod to Comicbook/YoungAvengers where this was the norm. Fittingly enough this is the point where they also entertain the idea of going back to the ''Young Avengers'' name.

** Wiccan's ringtone for Roberto (which he didn't have before, so AIM apparently tampered with his phone) is the ''Series/MagnumPI theme''. You know, Sunspot's favorite show from the original Comicbook/NewMutants.

** The reality where World War II was fought in space mentioned in #16 is the setting of ''Comicbook/WhatIf'' vol 1 #14, "What If Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos Fought World War II in Outer Space?"

* DivideAndConquer: The Maker's plan involves splintering the team and being the laughing third party in ''Comicbook/CivilWarII''. [[spoiler:He is also convinced that Sunspot will find his WeCanRuleTogether an irresistible offer.]]

* SpiritualSuccessor: The book uses characters and plot elements from Ewing's previous ''Comicbook/MightyAvengers'' series. It also happens to have mostly tonal influences by the author's ''other'' previous series ''Comicbook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'' especially when it comes to the [[RuleOfCool ridiculously over the top plots]] (albeit that was magic, this super science) and being [[SurprisinglyCreepyMoment deceptively]] [[MoodWhiplash light-hearted]].
** The series also carries over several plot elements and characters from ''Comicbook/YoungAvengers''. [[spoiler:And, with the addition of Cannonball and Warlock, it's also a spiritual successor to the ComicBook/NewMutants.]]

* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Squirrel Girl's favorite tactic in her [[Comicbook/TheUnbeatableSquirrelGirl solo book]], when she [[WrongGenreSavvy tries it here]] it [[SubvertedTrope doesn't work]]. She even {{lampshade|hanging}}s that it tended to work before.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The book uses characters and plot elements from Ewing's previous ''Comicbook/MightyAvengers'' series. It also happens to have mostly tonal influences by the author's ''other'' previous series ''Comicbook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'' especially when it comes to the [[RuleOfCool ridiculously over the top plots]] (albeit that was magic, this super science) and being [[SurpriseCreepy deceptively]] [[MoodWhiplash light-hearted]].

* InsistentTerminology: SHIELD don't torture people. They'd ''[[BlatantLies never]]'' [[BlatantLies sink to that level]]. But they're not above subjecting people "enhanced interrogation".

During [[ComicBook/TheAvengersJonathanHickman Jonathan Hickman's]] ''ComicBook/{{Avengers}}'', Roberto da Costa / ComicBook/{{Sunspot}} (formerly of the ComicBook/NewMutants) bought out AIM (Advanced Idea Mechanics) and transformed it into the ''Avengers'' Idea Mechanics. Operating out of the new Avengers Island is this new AIM's field team, with team leader [[ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} Songbird]] leading ComicBook/{{Hulkling}}, ComicBook/{{Wiccan}}, ComicBook/SquirrelGirl, ComicBook/WhiteTiger, [[ComicBook/MightyAvengers Power Man]], [[AndZoidberg and]] ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} (who is the super secret SHIELD traitor on the team... except that it's not a secret, and everyone knows).

* TheCaligula: [[AwesomeMcCoolname General Robert L. Maverick]], creator of American Kaiju, who seems to have done so largely because he can:

** The reality where World War II was fought in space mentioned in #16 is the setting of ''Comicbook/WhatIf'' vol 1 #14, "What If Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos Fought World War II in Space?"

** The reality where World War II was fought in space mentioned in #16 is the setting of ''Comicbook/WhatIf'' vol 1 #14, "What If Nick Fury Fought World War II in Space?"

During [[ComicBook/JonathanHickmansAvengers Jonathan Hickman's]] ''ComicBook/{{Avengers}}'', Roberto da Costa / ComicBook/{{Sunspot}} (formerly of the ComicBook/NewMutants) bought out AIM (Advanced Idea Mechanics) and transformed it into the ''Avengers'' Idea Mechanics. Operating out of the new Avengers Island is this new AIM's field team, with team leader [[ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} Songbird]] leading ComicBook/{{Hulkling}}, ComicBook/{{Wiccan}}, ComicBook/SquirrelGirl, ComicBook/WhiteTiger, [[ComicBook/MightyAvengers Power Man]], [[AndZoidberg and]] ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} (who is the super secret SHIELD traitor on the team... except that it's not a secret, and everyone knows).

* {{ReTool}}[=/=]AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: In much the same way ''New Avengers'' vol. 3 had absolutely nothing to do with the previous two volumes, vol. 4 is mostly unrelated to vol. 3 (although the premise of A.I.M. being bought and retooled by Sunspot did originate in the concurrent volume of Avengers at the time), and features a brand new cast of heroes taking the lead.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Toni Ho has dyed pink hair.
** The front of Songbird's hair is also pink.

** Roberto introduces himself in issue 18 by declaring "Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice". Fittingly, the issue title that follows his declaration is part of the Nancy Sinatra song of the same name.

** The Knights of the Infinite is ''full'' of ''KingArthur'' allusions (M'ryn - Merlin and so forth, to our Excalibur the star-sword '''[[Creator/StanLee EXCELSIOR]]''').
