Fantastic Five: Most Underrated Avengers

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from our years on the Internet, it’s that there’s no aspect of comics that can’t be broken down and quantified in a single definitive list, preferably in amounts of five or ten. And since there’s no more definitive authority than ComicsAlliance, we’re taking it upon ourselves to compile Top Five lists of everything you could ever want to know about comics.

Thanks to all those blockbuster movies, the Avengers are arguably the most well known superhero team in the world, but with every success story that makes a character like Iron Man a household name, there are those less well known and D-List heroes who are still waiting for their moment in the spotlight. Hopefully today we’ll succeed in shining a light on five deserving Avengers!

You’re welcome to tell me what I got “wrong” in the comments, but remember; leaving out a character you like doesn't mean we 'forgot' them, and it's not a judgement on you, or us, or them. There may be all kinds of reasons someone didn't make the cut.
