The squad mostly comprise of baddie who were befit up to attend like / work as intimate superheroes , with the other one-armed bandit sate by legitimate Italian sandwich who were tricked by Osborn into pushing his villainous agendum , despite wanting to in reality do good in the world .
In substance , the Dark Avengers was a complicated team that could be classified as a group of scoundrel , though that broad - solidus designation would be a immense oversimplification . For that reason , a figure of the members in reality found redemption after Osborn was taken down by the true heroes of the Marvel Universe . Here are the 10 Dark Avengers who in reality ransom themselves as paladin !

Over time , however , and come after the looseness of the Dark Avengers , Daken ’s hatred for Wolverine and everything his father stood for ( including the Avengers ) faded dramatically . In fact , in the more innovative geological era ofX - Mencontinuity , Daken has systematically fought side - by - side with Wolverine , and has even taken up a right superhero codename : Fang .
9Skaar
Like Daken with Wolverine , the son of the Hulk filled the role his Father-God once played on the Avengers . Skaar made his first appearance inWorld War Hulk#5 by Greg Pak and John Romita Jr. , and while he undisputedly was n’t as great a focal point as World Breaker Hulk was , it would n’t be long before Skaar made a proper name for himself - with his comprehension on the Dark Avengers being a bountiful footstep towards that .
In fact , Skaar only unite the Dark Avengers as a double agent , reporting back to Captain America on everything the team got up to , so the real superheroes could angle against them and eventually smoke the Dark Avengers out as the villains they really were . So really , Skaar does n’t even have anything to abye for in regard to his participation on the Dark Avengers , as he was a true hero sandwich within their ranks all along .
8Noh-Varr
Noh - Varr aka Marvel Boy(who debuted inMarvel Boy#1 by Grant Morrison and J.G. Jones ) is the epitome of someone who want more than anything to be a Italian sandwich , but inadvertently fell in - pipeline with a gang of corrupt villains . Marvel Boy licitly conceive he was joining the proper Avengers when he was recruited into the Dark Avengers as the unexampled Captain Marvel . However , after their very first mission , Marvel Boy apace learned that most of the other member of the team were villains pretend to be Cuban sandwich , and he left immediately after .
This entrance is less about a villain who was reformed , but more of a naive hero who was just endeavor to do the good thing , but was tricked by a hefty , vicious valet . However , this experience did n’t break Noh - Varr ’s spirits , as the mutate Kree warrior has done great work within the Young Avengers , the West Coast Avengers , and even the Guardians of the Galaxy , which more than makes up for his unwitting stint with a grouping of speculative guy wire .
7Sentry
Another hero who was tricked into working for the awry organization , Sentry is the first entry on this lean who was a new , original member of Dark Avengers that was n’t intend to be the replacement for one of the authoritative Avengers . in effect Marvel ’s Superman , Sentry is a being of immense power , though his fractured psyche makes him someone who can be easy control - which is incisively how he came to unite the Dark Avengers in the first place .
However , after the Dark Avengers disband , Sentry conk out right back into trying to be the ripe hero he could be , something he ’s strived for since his entry inSentry#1 by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee . He ’s just struggle with mental instability , making him an easy mark for use , or simply making him perilously irregular , despite his heart always being in the veracious space .
6Gorgon
Tomi Shishido aka Gorgon was a part of the 2nd - generation Dark Avengers that Norman Osborn put together inNew Avengers#18 by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato . After Daken left the team , Gorgon filled his purpose as Osborn ’s ‘ skunk bear ’ . While Gorgon played his part to perfection , he ’d afterwards find repurchase among his fellow mutants on Krakoa , specifically in theX of Swordsevent .
Given his acquirement with the blade , Gorgon won the mutants a point for every enemy champ he dispatch . Gorgon was instrumental in Krakoa ’s triumph during that event , as well as the geological formation of Arrako , and he even sacrificed himself in the mental process , constitute his efforts that much more genuine and impactful .
5John Walker
John Walker aka USAgent is more of a jerk than a scoundrel , as he ’s always prove to do the right-hand thing , he just does so in the wrong ways . One such lesson is the very reason he ’s on this list , as USAgent filled the role of Captain America on the Dark Avengers . Then , under similar consideration , Walker lead the Thunderbolts during theDevil ’s Reignevent inVillains for Hireby Clay McLeod Chapman and Manuel Garcia .
Walker trusted that the elected mayor of New York City , Wilson Fisk , was justified in his efforts to arrest every superhero in the urban center just because he was following the law , not thinking for a moment that the legal philosophy itself was woefully unjust . And that is the crux of John Walker ’s trouble . He ’s a superintendent - soldier who follow orders a little too well , and while that ’s why he ’s an effective superhero on occasion , it also means he can be misrepresent by people in major power , include and especially men like Wilson Fisk and Norman Osborn .
4The Venom Symbiote

3Victoria Hand
Victoria Hand is someone who believes the end always justify the means , and is uncoerced to work with anyone who holds a stead of power for the heavy good of bon ton . Hand was n’t a penis of the Dark Avengers necessarily , but was Osborn ’s correct - helping hand mortal during his ‘ Dark Reign ’ , making her something of the brain behind the operation along with Osborn himself .
However , just because she believed in Osborn ’s political agenda does n’t mean she was n’t willing to influence with his eventual successor , as Hand also add her military service to the Avengers under Captain America , and stayed an friend to Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes until her tragical oddment inNew Avengers#32 by Brian Michael Bendis and Carlos Pacheco , which showed her dying as a true poor boy .
2Charles Barton (Hawkeye’s Brother)
Charles “ Barney ” Barton aka Hawkeye is the brother of the original Hawkeye , Clint Barton . Barney was a extremity of the second - gen Dark Avengers , fill the office his pal once did . While Barney knew being a member of this team was - to put it softly - morally ambiguous , as the political relation drive the actions of the Dark Avengers were refutable at best , he is n’t a villain at nub , just a rogue .
Barney is ok with not being a good guy all the time , but that does n’t intend he ’s a sorry guy . In fact , inHawkeyeVol . 4 by Matt Fraction and David Aja , Barney risks his life history to spare Clint from the tracksuit Sicilian Mafia , and then proceeds to rob him directly afterward , confirming in one - felled seam - swoop his good - hearted moral ambiguity .
1Norman Osborn
Even the Einstein behind the Dark Avengers himself has found buyback in the pages of current Marvel Comics books . After Osborn had his sins absent by the Sin - Eater , he ’s now a major fighter as the Golden Goblin ( his superhero alter ego that debut inGolden Goblin#1 by Christopher Cantwell and Lan Medina ) . While it may be insufferable for Osborn to ever truly retrieve salvation after all the evil deeds he ’s committed in his past times - admit and specially inDark Avengers- the espousal of the desperate Golden Goblin persona is definitely a good space to begin .
The Dark Avengers will be think of as the ‘ evil Avengers ’ during a particularly depressed period in Marvel Comics story , though that does n’t have in mind every member was an irredeemable lusus naturae , and these 10Dark Avengersmembers who actually pay off themselves as poor boy turn out it .
