"As part of Vision's plot to take over the world". Bwuh?
Starting by taking over the American west coast. First logical step. Today, Modesto. Tomorrow, a whole bunch of other places!
This seems like a very unusual choice of team. Tigra, Hawkeye, Rhodey... ... and Wonder Man. Was Doctor Druid not available? Or Swordsman's corpse?
Tigra having difficulty finding getting modelling jobs. The plight of living in such moral times as the 1980s! Or is it a Fozzie Bear kind of thing. "When you put up a profile saying 'bear looking for love', you get a lot of wrong messages. Well, not 'wrong', exactly... just wrong for me."
To be fair, there were far fewer former/reserve/honorary Avengers upon which to call at the time. :)
Though the cover suggested potential recruits included Red Wolf, Iron Man, Puck, Shanna the She-Devil, Doc Samson, Mockingbird, Cyclops, Black Widow, Wonder Man, Tigra, Hercules, Quicksilver, Ant-Man, Namor and the Shroud.
Puck as an Avenger would've been interesting. (Although at the same time, Ewing's use of him has set the bar so high everything else tends to be a letdown, eh?)
Always loved this book for the fresh feel and Hawkeye stepping up as leader. Also fun how it takes a few issues for them to realize it's not Tony Stark in the armor.
I don't think I've seen Bob Hall's art for 30 years or more, but from the first page something about that art was instantly recognizable as his own style. And while this was from the Jim Rhodes era of Iron Man, Hall must have used Bob Layton's first run on Iron Man as a reference. I can see those familiar Layton sparkles on his armor.

We could have gotten a much weirder team...
