Note: Deadpool (Wade Wilson) implied during Avengers & X-Men: AXIS that Tony Stark made him an Avenger. However, given that Stark was under extreme duress at the time and Deadpool isn’t the most reliable witness, our official stance is that he was never officially part of the team — as much fun as that would have been.

Where are the Dark Avengers?

Sorry, but the Dark Avengers were bad guys pretending to be heroes, kind of like the original concept for the Thunderbolts. They’re not official Avengers, no matter what Norman Osborne might tell you.
