Kudos on making it eight. It really makes it hard. I really think of it as
a team of tweleve.

Not to get off topic too much, but trying to pick the 8 reminds me of something I loved so much about JB's run on Avengers. Hawkeye NOT being on the team was a great device. Some new Avengers got to be on the team for awhile, and he was always showing up anyways. He even had an entire issue in the spotlight, if I recall correctly. As a younger reader, I shared Clint's outrage. Going back and re-reading it recently, I realized that while he wasn't "on the team", he was still in the book a lot.

I love the Scarlet Witch, and her presence does improve the diversity of the team, but I'm tempted to argue that mutants on the Avengers is a mistake, one that leads to Spider-Man (non-mutant, but ultimately a loner) and Wolverine joining.

It only took 40 years for that to happen. That's one looooong, slippery slope.

Eight is tricky because for years now I've had my ideal seven-member roster.
Iron Man
Thor
Hank Pym (any identity)
Wasp
Captain America
Hawkeye
She-Hulk
So, for an eighth slot, I don't want to overdo it on super-strong characters, which leaves out some of my favorites like Beast, Hercules, and Namor. So, how about a rookie with a power unlike the others' ...
Firestar
I also have lineups in my head for a West Coast team and an International Team, but that's not the game for this thread.

I agree, and that's why Beast never makes my list, but since Scarlet Witch was never an X-man, she's an exception for me.

hmm...to me, the ideal Avengers roster is:
Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Hawkeye
Scarlet Witch
Vision
With Giant-Man (or Ant-Man/Yellowjacket) and the Wasp as backups to be called upon as needed.

Okay, twist my arm, Jesse ...
WC: Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Crystal, Wonder Man, Beast, (Android) Human Torch (no sane person would allow a team this full of ex-lovers and brain-patterns-twins to exist, but it would make for great drama)
International: Black Widow, Hercules, Black Panther, Namor, Black Knight (silly to have so many similarly-named members, I know. Still, a nice group, I think)
