The group included many prominent Avengers, including Wonder Man, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, and Iron Man. The team was first featured in a 1984 mini-series but Marvel launched an unlimited series in 1985, which lasted until 1994 (with the name changing to Avengers West Coast in 1989). The Avengers voted to shutdown the team, leading many of its members to leave to form the short-lived group Force Works.

History

1980s

1984 saw the first volume of the West Coast Avengers, written by Roger Stern, with art by Bob Hall and Brett Breeding. It was notable mainly for establishing the core lineup: team leader Hawkeye, his wife Mockingbird, Tigra, Wonder Man and Iron Man.

The second volume launched soon after, with story by Steve Englehart and art by Al Milgrom and Joe Sinnott. The early issues established the West Coast team as slightly more irreverent than their East Coast counterparts, taking upon themselves the nickname 'Wackos'. This period saw the mental deterioration of Hank Pym, who was helping the team as a scientific advisor. Pym suffered a nervous breakdown and became suicidal.

The team became stranded in the past, its members separated in various historic eras within the Marvel universe. While most of the team was caught in ancient Egypt, Mockingbird was held captive in the Wild West by the Phantom Rider, who used amnesiac drugs to convince her that she was his lover. Parallel to this adventure ran the salvation of Hank Pym, and his return to heroics. Moon Knight helped rescue the team, and he and Pym accepted invitations to join the team.
