First Appearance: Avengers Mech Strike#5
(September, 2021)
History: (Avengers Mech
Strike#5 (fb) - BTS) - The time conqueror Kang (likely a temporally
divergent counterpart) gathered together his own team of Avengers,
recruiting counterparts to his superheroic Avengers foes from realities
in which the counterparts had become predators and had killed Avengers.
(Avengers Mech Strike#5) - After the time conqueror
Kang took over Avengers Mountain on Earth-21443 and the Avengers
confronted him, an Eternity-powered Black Panther goaded Kang into
chasing him through time but before Kang departed into the timestream,
he unleashed his own twisted group of Avengers. The Avengers-21443
quickly jumped into battle against their counterparts, remarking that
Kang seemed to run out of original ideas for attacks. Each Avenger
squared off against their direct counterpart and Kang's evil Avengers
seemed to get the upper hand at first until Captain America-21443
reminded his Avengers that Kang's Avengers were not used to working
together. Switching opponents, the Avengers-21443 then began to gain
some ground in the battle and before they were overwhelmed by Kang's
Avengers once more, reinforcements arrived in the form of their
auto-piloted mech suits. While the mech suits worked on destroying the
remnants of Kang's Biomechanoid virus that was infecting their
headquarters, the Avengers-21443 and Kang's evil Avengers continued
their fierce battle. When Black Panther traveled into Kang's past and
struck him down before his plot had ever been set in motion, thereby
diverging Earth-21443 from its original timeline, the Kang who
successfully enacted his plot was shunted into Eternity itself while
his Avengers disappeared in the divergence.
Comments: Created by Jed McKay and Carlos Magno.
Spider-Man and Thor were the only members of Kang's
Avengers that were identified by their codenames. The Iron Man
counterpart was only identified as Tony (likely Stark) while the Black
Widow, Captain America, Captain Marvel and Hulk counterparts were not
identified at all.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Kang's alternate Avengers have no known connections to:
"Black Widow" (of Reality-41591)
"Black Widow" of Reality-41591 was a monstrous, spider-like female would became the apex predator in her reality, killing her world's Avengers. She was eventually recruited into Kang's Avengers and sent against the Avengers of Earth-21443, where she squared off against Black Widow-21443. Black Widow-21433 asked if there was any need for words between them and "Black Widow"-41591 replied that there was none. She continued to battle her counterpart until ramifications from Earth-21443 diverging from its original timeline caused "Black Widow" to disappear.
"Black Widow" had a monstrous, spider-like appearance that included jet black skin, red eyes, long, razor-sharp claws on her fingers and toes and an insect-like mandible for a mouth.
"Black Widow" is the black-skinned creature at center of image with extremely long claws.
--Avengers Mech Strike#5
"Captain America" (of Reality-31520)
"Captain America" of Reality-31520 appeared to be some sort of
insectoid being, either extraterrestrial or a mutate, and he became the
apex predator of his reality after killing the Avengers. Cheering for
America, "Captain America" wore a costume resembling that of most
realities' Captain America (Steve Rogers), only topped with a skull
with an "A" painted on it, possibly the skull of his reality's Steve
Rogers. He was later recruited into Kang's Avengers and sent against
the Avengers of Earth-21443, where he battled his Earth-21443
counterpart until Hulk-21443 changed opponents to bash "Captain
America" into the ground. Quickly recovering, "Captain America"
attempted to hurl his shield but it was caught in mid-air by
Spider-Man-21443's webline and tossed into "Captain America"'s
teammate, Thor-11354. Retaliating, "Captain America" kicked
Spider-Man-21443 in the face before attacking his own counterpart once
more. He eventually disappeared from the scene when ramifications from
Earth-21443 diverging from its original timeline shunted Kang into
Eternity itself.
"Captain America" had an insectoid appearance that included a bug-like face, three arms and clawed hands (three fingers) and feet (two toes). He also carried a buzzsaw-shape shield and two swords.
"Captain Marvel" (of Reality-51935)
"Captain Marvel" of Reality-51935 appeared to be a brown-skinned
alien Skrull and she became the apex predator of her reality, killing
Reality-51935's Avengers. After being recruited into Kang's Avengers,
"Captain Marvel" was sent against Earth-21443's Avengers and
immediately tackled her Earth-21443 counterpart. When the
Avengers-21443 switched opponents, "Captain Marvel" fired an energy
blast at Earth-21443's Captain America before attacking Thor-21443. She
watched from the air as the Avengers-21443's mech suits arrived on auto
pilot to attack the Biomechanoid virus that Kang had infected their
headquarters with before returning to attack her counterpart. When Kang
was shunted into Eternity itself due to ramifications of Earth-21443
diverging from its own timeline, "Captain Marvel" disappeared along
with the rest of Kang's Avengers.
"Captain Marvel" resembled a brown-skinned alien Skrull (complete
with pointy ears and a ridged chin) and she also had leathery, bat-like
wings capable of flight. She did not display the typical shapeshifting
abilities possessed by Reality-616's Skrulls but if she did have those
abilities, her wings could have been merely a part of the form she was
in rather than inherent. She could also project energy from his hands.
"Hulk" of Reality-93128 was a barbarous, four-legged monster that became the apex predator of his reality, killing his reality's Avengers. He was later recruited into Kang's Avengers team and sent against Earth-21443's Avengers, leaping into battle against his Earth-21443 counterpart. When Hulk-21443 switched opponents to bash "Hulk"-93128's teammate, "Captain America," "Hulk"-93128 lashed out with his axe, knocking Hulk-21443 aside. He continued battling his Earth-21443 counterpart until he disappeared with the rest of Kang's Avengers due to ramifications of Earth-21443 diverging from its original timeline.
"Hulk" was a superhumanly strong and durable monster with a disturbing, four-legged, three mouthed appearance. He carried a large axe in battle.
Spider-Man of Reality-19145 was an arachnoid apex predator that
killed his reality's Avengers. After being recruited into Kang's
Avengers, Spider-Man was sent into battle against Earth-21443's
Avengers, where he fought his Earth-21443 counterpart. Calling
Spider-Man-21443 "Petey," implying that he recognized
Spider-Man-19145's dual identity, Spider-Man-19145 forced the terrified
hero to the ground until the Avengers-21443 switched opponents.
Spider-Man-19145 then turned his attention towards Thor-21443, biting
into his arm and surprising Thor-21443 with his mettle. He then
attacked Captain America-21443 before turning his attention back to
Spider-Man-21443. He continued battling Spider-Man-21443 until
ramifications of Earth-21443 diverging from its original timeline
caused Spider-Man-19145 to disappear.
Spider-Man was a large arachnoid creature with three jaws resembling a mandible, two humanoid arms with clawed fingers, four arachnoid arms and two humanoid legs. He was superhumanly strong, able to pin down superhumanly strong opponents.
Thor of Reality-11354 was the apex predator of his reality, having
killed Reality-11354's Avengers. Recruited into Kang's Avengers, Thor
was sent into battle against Earth-21443's Avengers, where he fought
against his Earth-21443 counterpart. When the Avengers-21443 switched
opponents, Thor-11354 went after Captain Marvel-21443 and claimed first
blood as he prepared to crush her beneath his hammer "hand." Before he
could kill Captain Marvel-21443, however, he was hit in the back of the
head by the diverted shield of his teammate, "Captain America"-31520.
After being blasted aside by Captain Marvel-21443, Thor-11354 turned
his attention back towards Thor-21443 and the two continued their fight
until Thor-11354 disappeared as part of ramifications occurring from
the diverging of Earth-21443 from its original timeline.
Thor was a superhumanly strong and durable, horned, goat-like being whose hand appeared to be fused to a large hammer through with Thor could channel lightning.
Tony (whose last name is presumably Stark) of Reality-62141 was once
human but was somehow transformed into cybernetic being who became the
apex predator of his reality after killing his reality's Avengers.
After being recruited into Kang's Avengers, Tony was sent to battle the
Avengers of Earth-21443 and he immediately attacked his Earth-21443
counterpart, Iron Man. Blasting off the faceplate of Iron Man's armor,
Tony sadistically announced intentions to rip Iron Man's face off,
remarking on how he once looked pretty when he still had his face. The
Avengers-21443 soon switched opponents, however, and Black Widow-21443
plunged a knife into Tony's neck. Swatting Black Widow-21443 aside as
the knife flew from his wound, Tony exclaimed that the Avengers-21443
couldn't win this battle, as Kang's Avengers were all killers,
monsters, apex predators of their respective realities. Tony then
continued, claiming that each of Kang's Avengers had killed the
Avengers in their own timeline, and scoffed at the idea that
Avengers-21443 teamwork would win the battle. He then continued to
battle Iron Man-21443 until ramifications from Earth-21443's divergence
from its original timeline caused Kang's Avengers to disappear.
Tony resembled a scarred corpse cybernetically connected to his armor. As a living part of his armor, Tony could project powerful blasts from his arm cannon and was capable of flying under his own power.
