Thor: Ragnarok - 26 Easter Eggs & References You Must See

12. The Revengers

Marvel The Revengers
Marvel Comics

When Thor puts his team together and tries to convince Valkyrie to join their cause, he tries to sell her the merits of the team by saying she can claim revenge on Hela. He says he's looking for revenge as well and the team should thus be called The Revengers, much to her mild amusement.

The name actually isn't just a spoonerism of The Avengers. In the comics, The Revengers have been several different groups of evil Avengers. A couple of different iterations have existed, one formed by Wonder Man (and including Goliath), a Cancer-Verse variant and an MC2 version led by the kids of Hank Pym and the Wasp (Big Man and Red Queen).
