How the Avengers Decide On Their Official Leader Confirmed

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Avengers #1As the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers are the world’s first line of defense against all sorts of threats. With such grave stakes always at the forefront of their adventures, a solid leadership structure is a must-have. But no single hero can decide to assemble the Avengers unilaterally. The Avengers usually do have a chairperson to lead the team both on the field and outside of it, but who gets that honor usually rotates with each new lineup. And while the premier team of the Marvel Universe has occasionally and casually chosen their new leader seemingly at random, the new Avengers #1 reveals a more formal process in place. That’s right – the Avengers have elections.
