2024 series
Inspired by the impromptu Avengers team he formed during the "Blood Hunt" event, Captain America forms a rapid-response rescue team based out of Avengers Mansion called the Avengers Emergency Response Squad, or the AVENG.E.R.S., featuring a lineup which includes Wasp, Hawkeye, Hercules, She-Hulk, Photon, Night Thrasher, Lightning, Wonder Man, Shang-Chi and Lightspeed. Due to the rapid response nature of the team, on hand members are immediately deployed while the others remain behind at the Avengers Mansion; the members sent out changes every issue. Unbeknownst to the AVENG.E.R.S., the threats they deal with are orchestrated by the Serpent Society to keep them distracted while they gather mystic materials for Mephisto. Much like with the AVENG.E.R.S., the Serpent Society members sent out on this errand changes every issue as they gather ingredients for the Serpent's Tears.
Continuing past the initial miniseries under the title "Astonishing Avengers Infinity Comic", named for the Avengers team from AXIS, later issues would also see the AVENG.E.R.S. recruit Human Torch (Jim Hammond), Mr. Immortal, and Somnus.
