History ComicBook / SavageAvengers

The team is darker and more prone to violence and killing than other Avengers teams, and is marketed as such. The series sees Conan regularly interacting with the wider Marvel Universe since Marvel regained his publishing rights in January, 2019 and the ''ComicBook/AvengersNoRoadHome'' miniseries.

!! This series contains examples of:

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to Volume 1. Volume 1 had numerous bits of banter and even whole issues dedicated to levity. The story of Volume 2 meanwhile is less joke-heavy and much more linear, more emphasis put on the threat Deathlok (and later Set) poses to the heroes.

* NearVillainVictory: Ultron manages to effortlessly wipe out the Savage Avengers and even sic them on Punisher and Miles as Deathloks. They get better.

* NoSell: The Madbomb affects quite a number of people, but Conan and the other heroes seem to resist it.
* RagtagBandOfMisfits: Conan's adventures this time bring along Agent Anti-Venom, Cloak and Dagger, Weapon H, Black Knight (Dane Whitman) and Daredevil (Elektra Natchios).

** Issue #10 reveals that the narrator, [[spoiler: as well as the one who turned Miles into a Deaathlok]], is none other than [[spoiler: the Watcher]].
* TokenEvilTeammate: In 2099, the group gets one in the form of Doctor Doom 2099, who keeps bailing on them whenever their situation gets bad. Downplayed however, as he does get into numerous fights with Ultron and even saves the team from a crashing jet.
* SamePlotSequel: Volume 1: Kulan Gath gets his hands on a reality-destroying EldritchAbomination and is only thwarted by by messy time travel. The first five issues of Volume 2 see Thulsa Doom and his cult attempt to revive a reality-destroy EldritchAbomination called Set, thwarted by even messier time-travel from a [[spoiler: Dethlok-converted Miles Morales]]. Unlike Volume 1 however, the scope is smaller and Thulsa's nowhere near the omni-versal threat Kulan Gath was.

* CoversAlwaysLie: Subverted. The cover for "Volume 2" shows Dethlok standing alongside the team as though he's a part of it. He ''does'' work with them...in the last issue, after having spent the first four issues as a side-antagonist.

* DidNotGetTheGirl: Dagger ends up falling for Anti-Venom despite Cloak's attempts to confess to her. Circumstances force him to get over it.
* LoveTriangle: Dagger finds herself caught between Cloak -- who tries to work up the courage to tell that he loves her -- and Agent Anti-Venom, who she has a mutual crush on.

* RagtagBandOfMisfits: Conan's adventures this time brings along Agent Anti-Venom, Cloak and Dagger, Weapon H, Black Knight (Dane Whitman) and Daredevil (Elektra Natchios).

** Issue #10 reveals that the narrator, [[spoiler: as well as the one who turned Miles into Deathlok]], is none other than [[spoiler: the Watcher]].
* SamePlotSequel: Just like in Volume 1, an evil sorcerer gets their hands on a reality-destroying EldritchAbomination, both of which are ultimately thwarted by messy time travel. This time though, it's Thulsa Doom and Set on the chopping block and Miles Morales is the one that's time-hopping. Unlike Volume 1 however, the scope is smaller and Thulsa's nowhere near the omni-versal threat Kulan Gath was.

* SwappedRoles: On a meta-level. Volume 1 saw Conan as a FishOutOfWater on modern-day Earth. Volume 2 shoves different Avengers into the past of Conan's Hyperborean Age.

* SamePlotSequel: Just like in Volume 1, an evil sorcerer gets their hands on a reality-destroying EldritchAbomination, both of which are ultimately thwarted by messy time travel. This time though, it's Thulsa Doom and the Marrow God on the chopping block and Miles Morales is the one that's time-hopping. Unlike Volume 1 however, the scope is smaller and Thulsa's nowhere near the omni-versal threat Kulan Gath was.

* CoversAlwaysLie: The first cover indicated Elektra would still be in her new, MCU-inspired outfit. In the series proper she's wearing her classic outfit.

* PetTheDog: Conan declines the deal with the symbiote and is unimpressed with the symbiote's threats. The symbiote then reveals its history on Earth. It had been put in a glass bottle and put on the market as a djinn for sale. Its only moment of kindness on Earth, was when that era's Sorcerer Supreme bought and freed him, with the symbiote staying on as a guest and cultural exchange student...only to have Kulan Gath invade and murder the wizard. Kulan Gath tried eating the symbiote and when that didn't work, he took to torturing it for fun for millenniums and not the century that he previously mentioned. Now the symbiote is old and broken. Conan is touched by the tale and agrees to join with the symbiote, until they finally kill Kulan Gath. This feels like a near-WholePlotReference to "Literature/TheTowerOfTheElephant".
* PowerPerversionPotential: Dr. Strange uses his magic to have some [[ZeroGSpot levitation sex]]] with Elektra.

** Given his position, this is part of Dr Strange's day job. He gets a few moments in with Shuma Goroth once the entity is restored.
* DistractedByTheSexy: In the first annual, Conan gets '''very''' into Black Widow. He's also so into Elektra that he doesn't notice Doctor Strange walking behind him. Neither of them seem to return his interest.
* DoesNotLikeMagic: A recurring joke throughout the series is Conan's, per usual, disdain for magic. He takes an immediate disliking to Doctor Strange, though he does express fondness for Doctor Doom, due to Doom's more warrior-like apparel and more boisterous attitude when fighting. Similarly, and ironically, he doesn't hold anything against Magik either, probably for the same reasons - and he's grudgingly impressed by Strange when he sees the critically wounded Sorcerer armour up with Doom's Iron Man suit, and refuse pain medication and any weapons, relying on it solely for defence and life support.

** Conan visits a brothel during his time in Brazil, only to discover that the women are not there willingly, and ends up slaughtering the slavers before setting the workers free. Conan is perfectly fine with prostitution, but ''sexual slavery'' is another thing entirerly.

* HopelessBossFight: The Marauders and Conan's group try to rescue Cyclops and Storm. Not a chance, the possessed X-Men are too hostile and powerful to take alive and it's only through some quick thinking by Conan and Iceman's powers that they're able to escape with their lives (Deadpool was temporarily reduced to a stump). All they could do is return to the Hellfire Club mansion and lick their wounds over some fine whiskey.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Conan orders water in a bar!! Turns out the Bar of No Name served him leftover Oktoberfest pumpkin ale and he had to wash the flavour out of his mouth. An annoyed Conan tells the bartender never to serve him gourd ale again. This conversation would lead to a bank heist and fight with ComicBook/SpiderMan.

* PetTheDog: Conan declines the deal with the symbiote and is unimpressed with the symbiote's threats. The symbiote then reveals its history on Earth. It had been put in a glass bottle and put on the market as a djinn for sale. Its only moment of kindness on Earth, was when that era's Sorcerer Supreme bought and freed him, with the symbiote staying on as a guest and cultural exchange student...only to have Kulan Gath invade and murder the wizard. Kulan Gath tried eating the symbiote and when that didn't work, he took to torturing it for fun for millenniums and not the century that he previously metioned. Now the symbiote is old and broken. Conan is touched by the tale and agrees to join with the symbiote, until they finally kill Kulan Gath. This feels like a near-WholePlotReference to "Literature/TheTowerOfTheElephant".

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Bishop is leading the small group of Marauders and after a fight with Conan's group, he doesn't hold a grudge and hires them for the rescue attempt of Cyclops and Storm. Even after they fail, he still pays Deadpool and Night Flyer a small fortune and Conan ends up with a mansion to squat in.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: During their little fight, Spider-man gives Conan the "With great power comes great responsibility" spiel. Conan scoffs and thinks Peter is pathetic, telling that "With great power comes great reward...", that it's the strong who prosper while the weak rightfully fall. But Spider-man is a great fool who volunteers to uses his powers to benefit the corrupt rulers of New York as they trample everyone else. Spider-man can only ineffectually say that Conan has him mischaracterized. It's less about protecting the innocent (which Conan will also do on occasion) and more about Spider-Man's insistance on protecting EVERYONE, no matter how little they deserve it.

** Due to Deathlok messing with his gamma reactor, Weapon H [[PowersAsProgramsbecomes able to transform]] into not only his regular grey Hulk form, but a Harpy form, a Red Hulk form, and a Leader form.

* SwappedRoles: On a meta-level. Volume 1 saw Conan as a FishOutOfWater on modern-day Earth. Volume 2 shoves different Avengers into the past of Conan's Hyperborean Age.

* RoleReversal: Volume 1 saw Conan as a FishOutOfWater on modern-day Earth. Volume 2 shoves different Avengers into the past of Conan's Hyperborean Age.
