Mighty Avengers
Mighty Avengers is a comic book team that first appeared in Civil War #7
The Mighty Avengers were created by Iron Man after the Avengers disbanded after the results of Civil War. They are led by Ms. Marvel and have all sided with the SHRA, however following Secret Invasion that team has been disbanded and is now being reformed SHRA-free by Hank Pym.
Origin
The Mighty Avengers were created as the New York branch of the 50-state Initiative, though this team unlike the other Initiative teams serves all of the nation and the world, not just their respective state.
ULTRON'S RETURN
During a battle against the Mole Man, Iron Man's armor went haywire and turned him into a woman. Mentally and physically. That women he was turned into was none other than Ultron.
Thinking Tony was dead, the Mighty Avengers battled Ultron. During the battle Ultron, using her internal computer systems, activated a satellite that could control the weather. Creating natural disasters all around the world. The Mighty Avengers had to resort to getting the help of Hank Pym, Ultron's creator.
Ultron then killed Sentry's wife. Which enraged Sentry deeply. During their battle the rest of the Mighty Avengers battled an armada of Iron Man armor's which were under the control of Ultron. In the meanwhile Hank began creating something to stop Ultron. Sentry was about to kill Ultron when Ms. Marvel stopped him, knowing if he killed Ultron, then there would be no hopes of getting Tony back.
A microscopic Ares was then released into Ultron to release a virus that would hopefully kill Ultron and bring Tony Stark back. He succeeded barely and Ultron was seemingly killed, returning Tony to his rightful body and mind.
Skrulls and Symbiotes
As Tony rests, Spider-Woman appears at his side, holding the dead body of the skrull Elektra. They discuss for a while about what this means, and Tony asks her to join the Mighty Avengers so that she can find the skrull in the team. She does so, but as he introduces her onto the team (some members less happy about it than others) a symbtiote bomb is dropped on New York.
The team goes to help, and team up with Luke Cage. When Wasp grows in size, she, Black Widow and Spider-Woman are taken over by symbiotes. In the end, Iron Man discovers a cure for the symbiote virus and releases it on New York.
They discover that the bomb was released in Latveria, and they all attack Dr. Doom's castle. But when Iron Man and Doom fight, they activate Doom's time machine, and as Sentry goes in to save Iron Man, the three are teleported to the past.
Secret Invasion
Spider-Woman has been discovered as the skrull queen. Devastating Iron Man completely. Especially after he got sick with the armor virus. While Ms. Marvel has returned to New York City to fight off the Invasion. The rest of the Avengers soon arrive in New York. To fight the skrull queen and her armada. In the end Janet a.k.a Wasp dies by the hammer of Thor. For she was literally killing human and skrull alike. Thor stated that he would avenge her death. The Skrull Queen begins to walk with her broken jaw and Wolverine attempts to kill her but Norman manages to get the kill shot. Iron Man and Thor discover a spaceship holding prisoners. Inside the real Spider-Woman(Jessica Drew) is found. As well as Jarvis and Elektra. Jessica Drew seems surprised to see everyone staring at her like a hawk. (Elvis is in the background amazed by the new world). Ms. Marvel hugs Jessica in relief that the "Secret Invasion" is finally over.
Jessica Jones a.k.a Jewel sees the real Jarvis come out of the spaceship and begins to yell. For in "Secret Invasion" #7 she left the baby with skrull Jarvis. She begins to fly back to Avengers Tower followed by Ms. Marvel and Luke Cage. Only to discover that her baby girl Danielle Cage is no where to be found. Tony is then fired from S.H.I.E.L.D and Norman takes his spot. Now naming it H.A.M.M.E.R. Norman now controls the Mighty Avengers and the future of our heroes has not been confirmed.
In the final story before the kick off of Dark Reign. Carol Danves (Ms. Marvel) and Hank Pym (Yellowjacket) are in a limousine after talking to a psychiatrist. He asks Carol to tell him about every event he missed. Danver's tells Pym about House of M, the Superhuman Registration Act, Captain America's Death, and World War Hulk. Our "Mighty" Avengers are soon at the funeral of Hank Pym's beloved wife, Janet also known as the Wasp. He cries his heart out and talks about Janet. Hank then blames her death on Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Thor arrives and takes Pym away.

Iron Man had some trouble at Stark Enterprises and Jarvis encounters Hercules and Amadeus Cho while searching for Thor only to find that Oklahoma had been erased from existence taking New Asgard with it.
