Summary
While theAvengersmay be Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes , that does n’t necessarily make them nice people .

In this leaning , Screen Rant will name the 15 big jerks to ever be include on the team under the original Avengers charter . Their placement will be decide only on how they treated their fellow mate , rather than prior history or the influence of remote personnel - hence why former villain like Sandman and the Red Hulk do n’t appear . Teams like the Young Avengers , Dark Avengers and U.S.Avengers also wo n’t be considered , but chartered whirl - off team like the Secret Avengers and Uncanny Avengers will .
15Wolverine
Logan Is One of the Most Contentious Avengers Ever
Wolverine ’s catchphrase says it all -“I’m the best there is at what I do , but what I do is n’t very prissy . “Wolvie was formally welcomed onto the team in Brian Michael Bendis and David Finch’sNew Avengers # 6 , after Tony Stark convinced Steve Rogers that their new Avengers roster involve a killer .
This would finally bear witness to cause major issues with the squad structure - after the Avengers found out about Wolverine missions with X - Force , Wasp and Captain America tore him to pieces , though Thor insisted he ’d done nothing awry . Later , inAvengers vs X - man , Captain America had him ( literally ) kick back out of the team ’s quinjet due to his aim to remove Hope Summers .
I wo n’t dish out with him . He ’s a killer and never should have been an Avenger .
