History: (West Coast Avengers III#1 (fb)) - After Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) made a flyer in an attempt to recruit heroes to her newly-created West Coast Avengers team, the Dutch Oven came to the tryouts and attempted to join the West Coast Avengers, only to be turned away by Kate Bishop.

(West Coast Avengers III#4) - When the West Coast Avengers went on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! late-night talk show, the Dutch Oven watched on television and monologued that the West Coast Avengers rejected him at their peril.

(West Coast Avengers III#10 (fb) - BTS) - Determined to get revenge on the West Coast Avengers for rejecting him, the Dutch Oven mailed a threatening letter to the West Coast Avengers in which he said he could get the team's reality show canceled.

(West Coast Avengers III#10 - BTS) - Following the completion of the construction of the West Coast Avengers headquarters, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) began going through the mail and found the Dutch Oven's letter. As the West Coast Avengers enjoyed themselves in their new headquarters, Kate read the letter and asked who the Dutch Oven was and why he said he could get them canceled. She then mused about how the Dutch Oven could not possibly have the authority to get their show canceled.

(Deadpool VII#10) - As the deranged mercenary Deadpool was assembling a group of monsters to help defend New York City from the symbiote god Knull, he reviewed several different potential candidates including the Dutch Oven. Upon seeing the Dutch Oven, Deadpool admitted that he appreciated the joke but explained that his squad was pretty full on jokesters since he himself made the jokes. He then informed the Dutch Oven that he needed people with actual superpowers, further remarking that while farting inside a quilt might be hilarious, it was more a joke than a superpower. The Dutch Oven replied that Deadpool would regret not choosing him and an uncaring Deadpool answered only with "I'm sure." before moving on.

    For those who don't know, a "dutch oven" is a slang term referring to the act of passing gas and trapping a person beneath a blanket with the smell.
