10 Terrible Mistakes That Almost Ruined The Avengers For Everyone

7. Excusing Starfox's Shenanigans

This one's actually more on the Avengers themselves than the people who wrote them. Actually no, that doesn't make any sense, because the actions of a bunch of fictional characters are absolutely the responsibility of the people responsible for creating them and dictating what they do every day. Because remember readers, if a comic book character does or says something objectionable and it's you're not supposed to balk at it, that's the fault of the people writing them. With that out of the way, we can lay the blame for inviting an actual sex offender onto the Avengers team at whoever the creative team is whenever Starfox turns up. Nothing to do with the star of Lylat Wars 64 (more's the pity), the Marvel Universe's Starfox is instead is an alien, member of an ancient race called the Eternals and much saner brother to cosmic despot Thanos. What with Thanos being all about the destruction of existence, Starfox - whose real name is, shudder, Eros - is his equal and opposite. He wants to create life. By which we mean his super power is to emit pheromones that make everybody want to sleep with him, and can actually physically mess with people's emotions. Starfox, even more than Gambit, is the superhero equivalent of a pick-up artist, and yet he appeared in Avengers comics for years! Thankfully these days he only shows up in a humorous context, like the time She-Hulk was his lawyer in a sexual harassment lawsuit. "Humorous".
