The roster of Hawkeye, Iron Man, Wonder Man, Mockingbird and Tigra meant that the team was stocked with powerhouses and fan-favorites alike. Marvel welcomed back one of the greatest Avengers writers of all-time to steer their adventures: Steve Englehart. Along with Al Milgrom and Joe Sinnott on art, he wove a massive series debut that brought in arguably his signature characters — Vision and the Scarlet Witch — in a crossover story that plumbs the origins of Wonder Man and the Vision. Ultron also returns, but this new iteration of the iconic villain has a distinctly different disposition.

As Avengers writer, he masterminded such major events as “The   Avengers\/Defenders War” (in both teams’ titles) and “The Celestial Madonna   Saga.” In Captain America,   he identified and solved the “mystery” of the 1950s Captain America (later   revived by Ed Brubaker), and gave the true Cap the alternate identity of   Nomad. Englehart’s Dr. Strange storyline in Marvel   Premiere established the character as Sorcerer   Supreme and covered the creation of the universe itself. At DC, he helped   revamp Batman, Green Lantern, Superman and other major heroes for the 1970s.   Back at Marvel, he wrote the first few years of West   Coast Avengers and Silver   Surfer. His published novels include Countdown to Flight, Hellstorm (part of the TALON Force series), Majorca, The   Point Man and, with wife Terry Beach, books in the   DNAgers young-adult   series. Englehart has also written TV episodes and designed video games.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAl   Milgrom\u003c\/b\u003e, A.K.A. “Editori-Al,” is renowned as writer,   editor, penciler and inker — and held most of those positions on Spectacular Spider-Man.

His artwork has also appeared in Avengers, Captain   America, Thor and most X-titles, including the classic Kitty Pryde and Wolverine.
