Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyLord" data-source="post: 6306513" data-attributes="member: 4348">Avengers as B-Listers???The original idea behind the Avengers was to get Marvel's hottest superheroes into a team, if I recall correctly.Captain America was one of the leading characters of comics from the 40s onwards.Ironman has been one of the major characters of comics since the 60s.Both are solid A-listers, probably stronger on the A-list up until the 90s when the X-comics started overtaking them...but still really strong in the comics lines.You've already mentioned the Hulk, though the Hulk was more of a 70s and onwards thing (given a boost by the TV show no doubt).Thor may not be as strong as the others, but at least he had his own comic book.In modern times those Avengers are still A-Listers.Now, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and such could be B-listers (or even C-listers)...but to think Cap and Iron Man were ever B-listers is like saying Green Lantern and Wonder Women are B-listers.PS: It should be noted that a Cap film had previously been attempted, and though X-men had it's own series, as far as animation goes, Ironman had his own animated movie, along with the Avengers with Cap and Ironman at it's fore in two animated movies had come out as well.  Ironman also had his own series previously after the X-men, though not as long lasting as the X-men series.</blockquote>
