    Does being an Avenger make one insane or does one who is insane think joining the Avengers is a good idea.

    Hank Pym - suffered numerous mental breakdowns

    Iron Man - suffers from alcoholism

    Ms. Marvel - ditto

    Thor - has gone insane at least twice that I can recall

    Hulk - is a textbook multiple personality disorder.

    Wasp - though that when her boyfriend was acting like he had MPD it would be a good time to marry him.

    Moondragon - went insane and killed the Defenders.

    She-Hulk - rampaged through Bone, Idaho

    Scarlet Witch - Cthon influenced, loss of children 1st time, Avengers dissembled.

    There must be more it seems to run in the team. Maybe Jarvis does something to their food. Who else did I miss.

    I think it's pretty simple math: The Avengers are supposed to be the most powerful heroes on earth; the more power, the more chance of a writer making the character insane; so Avengers should, statistically expect more crazy members.

    This might explain why the New Mutants have a good track record with avoiding insane members.

    (Note: I don't think alcoholics like to be called "insane")

    If Ebony Bishop is right, Deadpool should be joining the Avengers at any time, lol. Well, at least he could teach them how to make sane decisions.

    Scarlet Witch: My children!? They weren't real?! ::goes bonkos::

    Deadpool: Scarlet Hotty, I've been there... kinda, not with children but with a box of cereal... but repeat after me... none of this is actually happeneing. There is a man, with a type-writer... this is all his twisted imagination!

    Scarlet Witch: N-none of this is actually happeneing... there is a man, with a type-writer... this is all his twisted imagination?

    Deadpool: Yes, yes, good! We're making great progress! Now, repeat after me... I'm going to ask Deadpool out on a date...

    Scarlet Witch: ....

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? Magik was possesed, Sunspot was an asshole, Warhawk was an egomaniac, Wolfsbane had an identity crises (wolf or human?), and Karma was possesed by the shadow king.

    Being possessed isn't the fault of the person being possessed, being an asshole isn't a mental problem, neither is being an egomaniac. If you can actually become a wolf or a human, then not being sure which you are isn't totally crazy.

    Every team seems to have it's issues, but stuff seems to happen to the Avengers more often than others.

    Well Scarlet Witch was technically possesed in the same way in the same way as Magik, although the Avengers do have more crazies than anyone else (except maybe the X-Men)

    As far as I know, Magik wasn't possessed. She was "corrupted". She actually grew evil through exposure to demons. And Scarlet Witch wasn't possesed, she went insane because her children weren't real. Of course, now they are, so does it count?

    Actually I have somewhere in my vast collection ( over 3000, I AM THE ULTRANERD!!!) an Uncanny x-men annual where they show Scarlet Witch being corrupted by Cthon.

    Again, I am looking for it but I don't know where it is but the story took place in the savage land and some major characters were High Evolutionary, Garokk, and Terminus.

    Spider-Man during the whole "The Spider" thing, even though he wasn't on the avengers than.  But with his life he has an excuse to be a little crazy.


    besides that people were just paranoid during Secret Invasion

    Ms. Marvel - ditto What's wrong with her?

    Thor - has gone insane at least twice that I can recall, There has issues yes, but how would your mind reack when you have to protect Earth and Asgard

    Hulk - is a textbook multiple personality disorder, I don't know what to say really and besides, he's never on the Avenegrs anymore

    Wasp - though that when her boyfriend was acting like he had MPD it would be a good time to marry him, She loves Hank, so there's nothing wrong with that

    She-Hulk - rampaged through Bone, Idaho, She got her powers from the Hulk, are you really surprised that she'd have some problems?

    Scarlet Witch - Cthon influenced, loss of children 1st time, Avengers dissembled, She's crazy and that's that
