and there you have it. a complete run down on what their status was when they joined. this took forever to do! didn't realize it would take me this long! hope you appreciate it. i do! i'll be printing these three pages out for myself for future reference. me tired now. me go bed.

this is my take on the computer for wonder man in issue 194: wonder man became a provisional avenger in issue 158. when gyrich came into the mess, provisionals at that time were considered members, that is why i always count them as members even though some provisionals never attained full-status, like jocasta. at one point during the gyrich issues he said that some of their own "members" did not have clearance. wonder man immediately knew he was talking about him. we see this scene in the comic. wonder man became full-status in issue 194 after all the mandates and regulations imposed unto them by gyrich and the government. so up until gyrich came to the mansion. the avengers had decided who was an actual member and who was not. gyrich made sure that they all got clearance first before deciding who would be counted as an avenger. more than likely why the guar___ìdians of the galaxy were made "honorary" by gyrich and not the avengers! if they were gonna be hanging out at the mansion, they ALL needed security clearance! got it?

as for thor being chairman as of issue 128. that is what the official index to the avengers states. it is clear that thor had assumed leadership waaay before this issue. after goliath had returned to full duty in avengers, the avengers went back to the rotating of chairman system they used in their first 15 issues. from around issue 30 to 127 it was unclear who exactly was the chairman, unless stated in the comic. i believe thor took over around the end of the kree/skrull war myself. around issue 98 or so. why the index points out 128 as his starting chairmanship is beyond me. but if you look at some of the issues inbetween 98-128 you will find that iron man was considered chairman in some of those issues...so i will stick with 128 for thor being chairman.

all clear?
