Well, If I was Steve, I'd change a few things.
Main Aims
1) To be the premier Superhero team, who deal with all major threats on a global level. Whether they be Scientific, Mutant, or Mystical I'd make sure that the Avengers were there to handle it.
2) Alongside being a Super Team, I'd make them into a definitive organization with links throughout the Superhero community. So, It'd really be Avengers Inc. With divisions being set up to make progress in Science; To ensure the train and nurture up and coming superheroes and to monitor international relationships and deploy representatives to all major political powers, whether they be on Earth or in the galaxy. (So I'd have an Avengers representative for Wakanda, the Shi'ar, Britain, Kree ect, ect)
Primary Avengers Team
In my opinion, the Avengers have got to be able to deal with everything, and anything and thus, should be the most powerful and diverse team on the planet. As such, the line up would be as follows.
Captain America (Steve Rogers)
Iron Man
Thor
Ms. Marvel
Justice
Songbird
Crystal
Ares
As you can see, I captalize on some mainstays, but add some new big guns such as Ares for physical superiority, Justice too play controller with his Telekinesis, and Crystal as a diverse wildcard. Noticably, I feel Steve is more of an icon, and better field leader than Bucky, which is why I chose him to be Captain America.
The Academy
Yeah, I'd keep the Academy around. It definitely has its uses, and in a similar manner to the initiative, I'd try and nurture as many up and coming superheroes as possible. Although, unlike the Initiative, I'd keep it optional. You'd only have to join if you want too. As far as Heroes I'd try to get interested in it, I'd keep the current Academies, and try and recruit The Runaways, Young Avengers and the Young Allies to encompass the entire child superhero quota. Whilst there, they'd learn all the basic skills to being a superhero, such as controlling their powers, how to adapt to living a dual life and of course, I'd teach them the average syallbus for an American Highschool.
Diplomatic Relations
Whether Earth likes it or not, The Avengers are at the best of times, their most prominant diplomats (Note. See Kree/Skrull War, ect). I'd appoint diplomats for most major powers. Such as, Noh-Varr being ambassador to the Kree. Black Knight representing the Avengers on MI:13 ect, ect. Furthermore, I'd form another secret society like The Iluminata comprimised of representatives from The X-Men (Cyclops), Asgard (Thor), Mysticism (Dr. Strange), Wakanda (Black Panther), Britain (Captain Britain), Atlantis (Namor).
Science Branch
I'd also enginneer a scientific branch of the Avengers Inc. that would focus as a cable to working together to push mankind forward. Again, I'd take the greatest minds of earth and have them meld ideas and projects. Main contributers would be, Reed Richards, Hank Pym, Tony Stark, Sage, T'Challa, Amadeus Cho
Transportation
Quinjet
Cloak (For Black Ops Team)
HQ
As a multinational corperation, I'd have various safe houses all over the globe, but the main HQs would be
Avengers Tower (Stark Tower. Main Avengers team base)
SHIELD HELICARRIER (Mainly used for diplomatic interactions)
Avengers Mansion (Home to the Academy)
Bucky's Apartment (HQ for the Black Ops unit.)
Black Ops
Finally, I recognize the fact that the Avengers have to stay spotless. So a Black Ops division would be set up to do the nasty things that the Public Apperance of the Avengers, just wouldn't sanctions. They'd report directly to Me, and as a precaution, I'd employ a Telepath (Probably Emma Frost) to wipe their minds after each mission, as a means of stopping any info ever getting out about my dirty work but still imprint a understanding of each other that'll allow them subconciously to work together. The team would consist of..
Winter Soldier
Hawkeye
Black Widow
Spider Woman
Quake
War Machine
A harsh means of controlling the team, but a neccessary one.
So, I noticed that in some ways, this is a lot like the Initiative approach, and it vears off at times from being a strictly Avengers unit, but I feel in light of what happened over the last few years, it'd be extremely important to make sure that absolutely nothing escapes my grasp. Remember, I'm Steve Rogers, so I wouldn't abuse my power, but at the same time, I'd do alot to keep the earth safe, and keeping my fingers in many pies is, in my eyes neccesary.
Thew.. that was a marathon post.
