10 Marvel Characters You Didn't Know Were Avengers

10. She-Hulk

To be honest, if you have any interest in the Avengers comics, then this may not come as a big a shock as the others on this list. But what might surprise you is how long she's been in and around the squad.

First showing up back in Avengers #221, way back in 1982, Jennifer Walters has been on the team in one capacity or another for the last thirty-seven years. Which, outside of the obvious characters, makes her one of the longest-serving members in its history.

When Cap, Iron Man, Thor, and Wasp are discussing what the Avengers need, it's decided the answer is new blood. Setting about the task, they figure that a lot will audition but only two will be called.

The likes of Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and the Silver Surfer are all considered but in the end, it will be Hawkeye and She-Hulk that get the nod.

At a party thrown by the Wasp, Mechano stupidly gate-crashes, with the intention of causing some havoc. This backfires spectacularly, as the party is littered with some of the toughest ladies in the Marvelverse, but even though a combined effort will take him down, it's She-Hulk that makes the grade.
