While the Masters of Evil are more famous, the Lethal Legion have also harried the Avengers since their early days. Usually the minions of Count Nefaria or the Grim Reaper, the Legion tends to be in it for the money rather than personal vengeance or world domination. They maintained a colorful roster over the years, starring Avengers villains from Ultron to Whirlwind, and inspiring many imitation groups as well.

Villain Team entry... LETHAL LEGION
Spotlight On... the MASTER OF THE WORLD!
Every super team needs an arch nemesis, and Canada's Premiere Super-Heroes found theirs early on with a primitive human who, thanks to exotic alien technology, had become an incredibly powerful being bent on conquering the world... saving the world... wiping out most of humanity... creating the perfect world... creating the perfect race... and preventing climate change. Never one to miss an opportunity, this villain (or savior) was always prepared to adapt and get on with his next plot. Some would say he is a lunatic. Others would say he's a hero. He would say he is the Master!
Spotlight On... LIONHEART!
The lost Captain Britain, Kelsey Leigh emerged from a particularly controversial run on Avengers. Still, she represented an important question in Omniversal lore -- If potential Captains were always given a choice between the Sword of Might and the Amulet of Right, what happens when someone chooses the Sword and the path of violence? Tragically separated from her children as a result of her choice, Kelsey rejected the Captain Britain Corps and became Lionheart, joining with Albion and other Sword-bearers to reject the judgment of Roma and Brian Braddock. Ultimately, though, Kelsey learned how to reject the violence in her heart and was reunited with her children.
Spotlight On... DOCTOR VOODOO!
Today our sister sites begin Magic Month with a Spotlight on the Lord of the Loa, Jericho Drumm! Introduced during the 1970's, Brother Voodoo had limited success as a houngan super-hero, quickly being relegated to a series of guest appearances over the next few decades. After Secret Invasion, however, DOCTOR Voodoo became the new Sorcerer Supreme, combining the servant of the Vishanti and the Loa into one man. Although he was temporarily killed to make room for Stephen Strange's return, Doctor Voodoo was soon resurrected and enjoyed healthy runs with the Avengers Unity Division and a romance with the Scarlet Witch. As the headmaster of Strange Academy in his hometown of New Orleans, Doctor Voodoo has made a home for himself in the annals of Marvel lore.
Hero Team entry... GWEN-VENGERS
It is undeniable that Gwen Stacy has become a fan favorite among comic book readers. She always had a certain legendary status, given her very high profile death, which is credited to have triggered a change in the tone of Marvel Comics. However in 2015, she came back into Marvel comics in a big way with her alternate universe counterpart, Ghost-Spider. Since then readers have seen virtually every possible permutation of a Gwen Stacy/insert hero, however it was not until Spider-Gwen: Gwenverse that we saw an actual team of “Gwens” team up to save the day. Read here about the unfortunately named Gwen-Vengers.
Spotlight On... D-MAN!
APRIL FOOLS! Here... have a fool! With all due respect to Dennis Dunphy, D-Man regularly appears on any list of the lamest Avengers of all time. He does have a lot working against him... a copycat costume, one of the shortest membership stints ever, and a reputation as the homeless super-hero. D-Man was often an easy target for jokes. Beneath it all, though, Dennis is a nice, good-natured and eager-to-please guy who simply wasn't cut out to be an action hero. Through no fault of his own, Dennis has suffered through brain damage and mental illness while still focused on trying to do the right thing. He has recently moved away from street fighting to focus on helping people in environments better suited for his caring and empathic nature. "D" is for Dedicated!
