History:
(Avengers VII#50 (fb) - BTS) - The "Avengers" were a group of
prehistoric beings circa 1,000,000 B.C. that had banded together as
comrades to defend Earth.
(Avengers VII#50) - In battle with the reality-hopping Multiversal Masters of Evil, Odin avoided an attack and looked to find fellow "Avengers" Lady Starband, the Gorilla Phoenix and the Savage Iron Fist dead at the hands of the Masters of Evil. Determined to stop the Multiversal Masters of Evil as long as an ounce of blood remained in his veins, Odin began to summon a storm, only to be burned alive as he hurled his hammer by the flames of the Masters' Dark Phoenix of Earth-14412. The hammer eventually returned to sever the fingers of the charred Odin and the Masters of Evil's Kid Thanos then blasted Odin as the Masters' Ghost Goblin severed the head of the "Avengers"' Rider and Earth-21798's Black Skull impaled the remaining Avenger.
(Avengers Forever II#1) - With the remnants of the "Avengers" dead around him and the Multiversal Masters of Evil gone, a severely burned and near death Odin crawled towards his hammer, wishing for a way to avenge his fallen comrades. As he died, Odin began to enchant his hammer but he fell before completing the incantation, his spilled blood touching the hammer and completing the enchantment where Odin's words could not. The premature deaths of the "Avengers" diverged Earth-22170 from Earth-818's original timeline (see comments).
(Avengers Assemble Omega#1 - BTS) - Earth-818's
original timeline was restored by Earth-616's prehistoric Phoenix and
Starbrand (Brandy Selby) and its "Avengers" were presumably restored
along with it.
Comments: Created by Jason Aaron, Aaron Kuder, Carlos Pacheco, Rafael Fonteriz, Ed McGuinness and Javier Garron.
"The Avengers" of Earth-818's
1,000,000 B.C. were never actually identified as such in-story. It's
very possible they were called something else on Earth-818.
Additionally, the "Black Panther" was also never actually identified by
any
name.
Also, it should be noted that Earth-818 (presumably) originally had a timeline in which the "Avengers" lived and ushered in a future ripe with superhumans. During the Multiversal Masters of Evil's slaughter of the "Avengers," the Black Skull claimed that he could feel history rewriting as they destroyed the prototypical superhuman powers of Earth. "Earth-818" (as noted in-story) is later shown to be a barren wasteland thanks to the Multiversal Masters of Evil prematurely murdering the "Avengers" in 1,000,000 B.C. but this barren wasteland version of "Earth-818" would actually be Earth-22170, the reality/timeline that diverged from Earth-818 at the moment of the "Avengers"' premature deaths and the divergent Earth-22170 would have been temporarily rewritten over the actual Earth-818 (similar to other such divergences like the Age of Apocalypse, House of M, Age of X, the Morgan Conquest, etc. etc.). Therefore, instances where the barren wasteland is referred to as "Earth-818" are actually referring to the transformed Earth-818 with Earth-22170 written over it. Presumably with the destroyed realities restored by Earth-616's prehistoric Phoenix and the Brandy Selby Starbrand upon the defeat of the Multiversal Masters of Evil and Mephisto-616 at the dawn of time, the proper Earth-818 was restored to normal and the "Avengers" along with it. We have yet to see the restored "Avengers" following the story that showed their deaths so it's unclear, their fate.
Earth-818 and its "Avengers" are
not mentioned by name in Avengers Assemble Omega#1 but their reality is
seen alongside the hundreds of other realities restored by Earth-616's
prehistoric and Starbrand (Brandy Selby).

CLARIFICATIONS:
Earth-818's Avengers have no known connections to:
The "Black Panther" was a member of the "Avengers." During the battle against the Multiversal Masters of Evil, he was impaled by Earth-21798's Black Skull. Following his death, the "Black Panther"'s corpse lay exposed on the battlefield as a dying Odin attempted to enchant his hammer. With the premature deaths of "Black Panther" and the other "Avengers," Earth-22170 diverged from Earth-818 and was rewritten over the original Earth-818 timeline. Presumably, when the realities destroyed by the Multiversal Masters of Evil were restored by Earth-616's prehistoric Phoenix and Starbrand (Brandy Selby), "Black Panther" was restored along with his original timeline.
--Avengers VII#50d (Avengers Forever II#1, Avengers
Assemble Omega#1 - BTS,
The Gorgilla Phoenix was a member of the "Avengers" and appeared to be an early ape imbued with the cosmic Phoenix Force. During the attack by the Multiversal Masters of Evil, the Gorgilla Phoenix was killed by multiple blaster shots from the group and its corpse was seen by Odin. With the premature deaths of the Gorgilla Phoenix and the other "Avengers," Earth-22170 diverged from Earth-818 and was rewritten over the original Earth-818 timeline. Presumably, when the realities destroyed by the Multiversal Masters of Evil were restored by Earth-616's prehistoric Phoenix and Starbrand (Brandy Selby), the Gorgilla Phoenix was restored along with its original timeline.
Lady Starbrand was a member of the "Avengers." During the battle against the Multiversal Masters of Evil, she was beheaded and upon seeing her and his teammates' corpses, Odin renewed his attack on the Multiversal Masters of Evil, only to be severely burned and blasted. Lady Starbrand's corpse remained on the battlefield as the dying Odin attempted to enchant his hammer. With the premature deaths of Lady Starbrand and the other "Avengers," Earth-22170 diverged from Earth-818 and was rewritten over the original Earth-818 timeline. Presumably, when the realities destroyed by the Multiversal Masters of Evil were restored by Earth-616's prehistoric Phoenix and Starbrand (Brandy Selby), Lady Starbrand was restored along with her original timeline.
--Avengers VII#50d (Avengers Forever II#1, Avengers
Assemble Omega#1 - BTS,
Odin was the Asgardian All-Father and member of the "Avengers." During the battle against the Multiversal Masters of Evil, he was knocked into the side of a mountain, where he witnessed the already-fallen corpses of his teammates Lady Starbrand, the Gorgilla Phoenix and the Savage Iron Fist. Despite renewed vigor, rage and a desire for vengeance, Odin was burned by the fires of Earth-14412's Dark Phoenix as he hurled his hammer at Earth-22215's Doom Supreme. Doom Supreme opened a mystic portal that swallowed the hammer and shot it back at Odin, severing the fingers on his right hand as Dark Phoenix's burned Odin's flesh and hair. Still smoking from the fires, Odin was then blasted by Kid Thanos before the Multiversal Masters of Evil departed Earth-818, leaving the corpses of the "Avengers" behind them. Barely clinging to life, Odin crawled his way towards his hammer in an attempt to enchant it so that a future wielder might exact his desire for revenge but he died before fully reaching the hammer. Odin's blood ultimately touched the hammer, completing the enchantment as Odin succumbed to death. With the premature deaths of Odin and the other "Avengers," Earth-22170 diverged from Earth-818 and was rewritten over the original Earth-818 timeline. Presumably, when the realities destroyed by the Multiversal Masters of Evil were restored by Earth-616's prehistoric Phoenix and Starbrand (Brandy Selby), Odin was restored along with his original timeline.
Like his Reality-616 counterpart, Odin possessed the
conventional superhuman physical attributes possessed by all Asgardians
including strength, durability, endurance, etc. He could also control
the elements of the storm such as lightning and wind and possessed the
ability to cast enchantments.
--Avengers VII#50 (Avengers Forever II#1d/Avengers
Forever II#4 (fb) - BTS, Avengers Assemble Omega#1 - BTS,
The Rider was a Spirit of Vengeance and member of the "Avengers." During the battle against the Multiversal Masters of Evil, he was killed and decapitated, his head acquired by the Masters' Ghost Goblin. With the premature deaths of the Rider and the other "Avengers," Earth-22170 diverged from Earth-818 and was rewritten over the original Earth-818 timeline. Presumably, when the realities destroyed by the Multiversal Masters of Evil were restored by Earth-616's prehistoric Phoenix and Starbrand (Brandy Selby), the Rider was restored along with his original timeline.
--Avengers VII#50d (Avengers Forever II#1 (fb) - BTS,
The Savage Iron Fist was a member of the "Avengers." During the battle against the Multiversal Masters of Evil, his head was crushed by a large boulder and his corpse was seen by Odin, briefly renewing Odin's vigor with rage. His corpse remained on the battlefield as the dying Odin attempted to enchant his hammer. With the premature deaths of the Savage Iron Fist and the other "Avengers," Earth-22170 diverged from Earth-818 and was rewritten over the original Earth-818 timeline. Presumably, when the realities destroyed by the Multiversal Masters of Evil were restored by Earth-616's prehistoric Phoenix and Starbrand (Brandy Selby), the Savage Iron Fist was restored along with his original timeline.
