The Avengers decide to replenish their depleted ranks, and the Wasp calls for suggestions for new members to be submitted by their next meeting. Thor seeks out Spider-Man and asks him to join, but the flattered web-spinner promises only to consider the idea. Iron Man and Captain America ask Hawkeye to return to the roster, and he enthusiastically accepts. The Wasp decides the group needs more female members and invites several costumed adventuresses to brunch. The gathering is crashed by Fabian Stankowicz, the Mechano-Marauder, who again attempts to gain notoriety by battling an Avenger, but the women defeat him easily, while all but one decline Jan's invitation to join the team. Thus, a few days later, following an altercation in traffic on their way to the meeting, the two new recruits, Hawkeye and the She-Hulk, are officially inducted.
