Later known as the Lightning Rods ( after the Thunderbolts during Heroes Reborn ) , they eventually switched their name back . In the GLA Misassembled miniseries , the team was contacted by the Maria Stark Foundation and forced to change their name . They chose the Great Lakes X-Men . In The Thing # 8 , they changed their name again to the Great Lakes Champions . Since the Civil War , the team has been known as the Great Lakes Initiative .

When the Red Skull was defeated , the villains went their separate ways , but were inverted due the spell cast by Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom . The inverted villains were reassembled by Steve Rogers when he noticed something was wrong with the Avengers and X-Men to assemble an effective resistance against the heroes after the other Avengers - with the exception of Spider - Man and Nova - were captured , naming the new team the Astonishing Avengers . During the subsequent fight , Carnage sacrifices himself to prevent the inverted X-Men detonating a ' gene bomb ' that would have killed every non-mutant in the blast radius , with the fight concluding with the rest of the ' Astonishing Avengers ' - with the exception of Sabretooth , who was protected by a shield generated by Iron Man - being returned to normal . However , the team left a video message claiming responsibility for the heroes ' actions while corrupted before they returned to their own villainous ways , identifying themselves as the ' Axis of Evil ' , allowing the Avengers and X-Men to rebuild their reputations . HYDRA Avengers ( 2017 ) ( edit ) During the Secret Empire storyline , the Hydra regime has their own Avengers , consisting of Odinson , Deadpool , Scarlet Witch , Vision , Taskmaster , the Black Ant , and the Superior Octopus . However , Odinson only served on this team because he was psychologically broken due to his current state of unworthiness prompting him to side with Rogers after his old ally still proved capable of lifting his hammer , while Wanda was possessed by a demon and the Vision by an A.I. virus . In the final stand , Odinson returned to his old allies as he recognized that Rogers had gone too far , while the Vision 's daughter and Brother Voodoo restored the Vision and the Witch to normal respectively , Taskmaster and Black Ant turning against their fellows in exchange for future amnesty .

Fortunov Namora Aquaria Nautica Neptunia Kraven the Hunter Sergei Kravinoff Ulysses Bloodstone Unrevealed Silver Sable Ernst Sablinova Blonde Phantom Louise Grant Mason Avengers 1959 # 1 ( October 2011 ) A group of heroes independently formed their own branch of Avengers , as Great Lakes Avengers , in West Coast Avengers vol. 2 # 46 ( July 1989 ) , with no official status . Later known as the Lightning Rods ( after the Thunderbolts during Heroes Reborn ) , they eventually switched their name back . In the GLA Misassembled miniseries , the team was contacted by the Maria Stark Foundation and forced to change their name . They chose the Great Lakes X-Men . In The Thing # 8 , they changed their name again to the Great Lakes Champions . Since the Civil War , the team has been known as the Great Lakes Initiative . In the new ongoing Great Lakes Avengers series , the team was made official members of the Avengers due to a legal technicality . A few issues later , their membership was revoked . Justice and other former members of the New Warriors eventually left The Initiative to form Counter Force , with the purpose of ensuring that The Initiative stayed true to their goal of training new and undeveloped superhumans . After Camp Hammond was shut down , Tigra and Gauntlet joined the New Warriors who had left the Initiative , and they formed the Avengers Resistance , with the specific purpose of exposing the criminal deeds of Norman Osborn . During the AXIS storyline , Magneto assembles an unnamed group consisting of Absorbing Man , Carnage , Deadpool , Doctor Doom , Enchantress , Hobgoblin , Jack O'Lantern V , Loki , Mystique and Sabretooth to combat the Red Skull . When the Red Skull was defeated , the villains went their separate ways , but were inverted due the spell cast by Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom . The inverted villains were reassembled by Steve Rogers when he noticed something was wrong with the Avengers and X-Men to assemble an effective resistance against the heroes after the other Avengers - with the exception of Spider - Man and Nova - were captured , naming the new team the Astonishing Avengers . During the subsequent fight , Carnage sacrifices himself to prevent the inverted X-Men detonating a ' gene bomb ' that would have killed every non-mutant in the blast radius , with the fight concluding with the rest of the ' Astonishing Avengers ' - with the exception of Sabretooth , who was protected by a shield generated by Iron Man - being returned to normal . However , the team left a video message claiming responsibility for the heroes ' actions while corrupted before they returned to their own villainous ways , identifying themselves as the ' Axis of Evil ' , allowing the Avengers and X-Men to rebuild their reputations . During the Secret Empire storyline , the Hydra regime has their own Avengers , consisting of Odinson , Deadpool , Scarlet Witch , Vision , Taskmaster , the Black Ant , and the Superior Octopus . However , Odinson only served on this team because he was psychologically broken due to his current state of unworthiness prompting him to side with Rogers after his old ally still proved capable of lifting his hammer , while Wanda was possessed by a demon and the Vision by an A.I. virus . In the final stand , Odinson returned to his old allies as he recognized that Rogers had gone too far , while the Vision 's daughter and Brother Voodoo restored the Vision and the Witch to normal respectively , Taskmaster and Black Ant turning against their fellows in exchange for future amnesty .
