10 Marvel Characters You Didn't Know Were Avengers

For a very long time, it looked as if Matt Murdock would never become an Avenger. In fact, it seemed that the only way the boy from Hell's Kitchen would ever fight side by side with the World's Mightiest Heroes would be in some form of fan fiction or another.
