The Avengers were a superhero team in Earth-616.

History

In Earth-616, upon encountering Death's Head, Wiccan recalled having heard of him in Avengers files, having the knowledge that Death's Head had been upgraded multiple times. After Death's Head was locked in the bathroom of their apartment, Hulkling told Wiccan that he wished he was less against requesting help, such as that of the "real Avengers". Wiccan noted that they weren't, "even when [they] were", sarcastically thanking him for the reminder. Hulkling stated that he only called them the "real Avengers" because Wiccan did. One of them noted that they weren't the youngest people to have been Avengers anymore.

After looking into several possible realities, Wiccan saw several where he and Hulkling were Avengers again, (COMIC: "The Bo(d)y in Question" ^[+]Part of Clone Drive, Loading...{"namedpart":"The Bo'\"`UNIQ--nowiki-00000005-QINU`\"'y in Question","1":"Clone Drive (comic story)"}) something he later brought up to Hulkling before mentioning that he'd also seen Vee alongside them, leading him to believe that Vee could somehow help them to "make [them] Avengers again. Make [them] somebody again. Death's Head later claimed that where he was from, people laughed about the Avengers, and suggesting that Wiccan's behaviour was the result of his desperation to be one of them.

The Avengers are a notorious team of Marvel-brand superheroes. The occasion of many internal crossovers within Marvel's titles, its roster boasted many of the superheroes belonging to Marvel at the time, hence the question of whether the Doctor might be shown to join the organisation, if he was to become a Marvel character in some sense.

Of course, this did not come to pass, though Marvel UK's stewardship of the production of original Doctor Who comics still saw the Doctor encounter several Marvel characters, including some who were elsewhere shown to be members of the Avengers; among them were the Hulk, Iron Man and Thor.

Film adaptations of the Avengers feature cast members shared with the DWU such as Karen Gillan, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Letitia Wright all of whom appear in the third and fourth films Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame as Nebula, Doctor Strange, and Shuri. Doctor Who production designer Phil Sims was an art director of the second Avengers film, Avengers: Age of Ultron.
