History: (Marvel Universe Millennial Visions 2001 - "Avengers: Defenders of the Galaxy" (fb) - BTS) -When the Dark Ones attacked the planets in the outer rim of the Milky Way galaxy, the Skrulls went to the Avengers for help against the impending threat. Although they did not particularly want to ally themselves with the Skrulls, the Avengers knew that anything that could frighten the Skrulls into asking their aid had to be dangerous. In order to halt the Dark Ones and keep them from attacking Earth as well, the Avengers headed into space, leaving Black Panther behind due to his duties as King of Wakanda.
(Marvel Universe Millennial Visions 2001 - "Avengers: Defenders of the Galaxy (fb) - BTS) - With the Avengers gone, the United Nations appointed the Thunderbolts Earth's new protectors, which did not sit well with the Black Panther, who decided to form his own group of Avengers that included Black Cat, the Amazing Spider-Man, the Hulk, and a suit of sentient Iron Man armor who called itself War Machine.
(Marvel Universe Millennial Visions 2001 - "Avengers: Defenders of
the Galaxy") - With the second Avengers team formed, the group kept a watchful
eye on both the Thunderbolts and the impending threat of the Dark Ones.

PANTHER
Black Panther was a member of the Avengers who got left behind when the team went into space to battle the Dark Ones due to his status as King of Wakanda.

In order to keep an eye on the Thunderbolts and to better safeguard the world, the Black Panther formed a second team of Avengers.
