When you name your group "The Avengers" presumably you are avenging something (or someone) right?

I'm afraid they're not really avenging anything. At the end of the first issue the Hulk points out that the group needs a name and the Wasp suggests "Avengers" because it's "colorful and dramatic."

    Curiously enough, they added the line in the new movie production, uttered by Tony Stark to Loki: "If we can't protect the Earth, you can be damn sure we'll avenge it!" I guess they wanted to bring closure to the question of who the Avengers were "avenging." All things being equal, I would take protecting over avenging but that's just me.

In the recent The Avengers film, they don't embrace the "Avengers" name until




Agent Coulson's death.




So, that's what they're avenging. Although Stark's line "If we can't protect the Earth, you can be damn sure we'll avenge it," makes for a nice snippet of dialogue for trailers, the spoiler is what the plot of the film has them avenging.

In the MCU we now have a clear reason for the name. In the 2019 movie Captain Marvel, we learn that




Nick Fury named his proposal for "The Avengers Initiative" on Carol
Danvers' call sign, printed on her plane as Capt Carol "Avenger" Danvers




which he saw in a file photo of her plane when she'd been a test pilot for Pegasus. The link is very clear; the paper was titled "The Protectors Initiative" until Fury saw the photo, reconsidered, then went back and edited the document to reflect the Avengers name.



The name appears blanked out in this photo, which was available before the movie release, but the pilot's name would be printed where the white rectangle is:

In the MCU we now have a clear reason for the name. In the 2019 movie Captain Marvel, we learn that




Nick Fury named his proposal for "The Avengers Initiative" on Carol
Danvers' call sign, printed on her plane as Capt Carol "Avenger" Danvers




which he saw in a file photo of her plane when she'd been a test pilot for Pegasus. The link is very clear; the paper was titled "The Protectors Initiative" until Fury saw the photo, reconsidered, then went back and edited the document to reflect the Avengers name.



The name appears blanked out in this photo, which was available before the movie release, but the pilot's name would be printed where the white rectangle is:

Nick Fury named his proposal for "The Avengers Initiative" on Carol
Danvers' call sign, printed on her plane as Capt Carol "Avenger" Danvers




which he saw in a file photo of her plane when she'd been a test pilot for Pegasus. The link is very clear; the paper was titled "The Protectors Initiative" until Fury saw the photo, reconsidered, then went back and edited the document to reflect the Avengers name.



The name appears blanked out in this photo, which was available before the movie release, but the pilot's name would be printed where the white rectangle is:

In the MCU we now have a clear reason for the name. In the 2019 movie Captain Marvel, we learn that

  • While this is a good answer, the question doesn't seem to be about the MCU.

  • @skooba agreed, but one of the pre-existing answers was already MCU-specific, and it was the first question that came to mind when I saw the scene in the theater. I do not see an MCU-specific version of this question (I searched "[marvel-cinematic-universe] title:Avengers") so I figured this was most likely to catch interested parties.
