If you were to cut down the Avengers to one team, any members are open, forget about popularity, which 6 members would you pick and who would be the team on it?

Personally I'd like a fun all ages book that could give more attention to unused or less familiar characters.

Iron Fist - leader of the group, moral center
Mockingbird - interesting enough character but after the whole New Avengers sad stuff I want the character to have fun
Dr. Strange - required magic user
Devil Dinosaur/Moonboy - because yes. (also counting as 1 member)
Namor - Namor makes everything fun
Jazinda - the Skrull from She Hulk because ... Skrulls!

As for the team I'd love Christos Gage (the guy behind Avengers Academy) writing it and either Roger Langridge or Marcos Martin on the art for a really weird but beautiful book to read.

My ideal team is all classic guys, but if i were making one that i thought would be fun/interesting using a few non-traditional choices and have it still be recognizable as the avengers, I'd go with-

Hawkeye as field leader, because he should always be an Avenger, i think
The Hulk, with the personality he has on the awesome ass cartoon.
The Falcon, because Cap or one of his sidekicks should be there.
Namor, because every team needs an asshole.
Machine Man. Ellis/Next Wave version
And bring back Ares. because he was great.

Tony and Cap would still be around as the public faces and to endorse them.

Not Wolverine.

I'd read this book, although it is a bit of a sausage fest right now. I'd toss a lady or two in there for a little balance. Hellcat? Ms. Marvel? Spider-Woman? I dunno. I'm working up a proper team. Like for reals. Brace yourselves!!!

D-Man as the leader because he's due.
Hellstorm for magic because he's got nice hair.
Stingray as the Iron Man/Namor combo and he's also due.
Spider-Woman (Carpenter) for spider-quipping.
She-Hulk for punches.
Hawkeye for old time's sake.

Jeff Parker writes and Farel Dalrymple draws.

Max, this is why I don't fear the future.

Shit. Yeah. Totally right. Okay, replace Hulk with his cousin.

Okay, so here’s my team for really reals.

GROUND RULES:
Nobody who has their own ongoing title is allowed. (Sorry, T’challa and either of the Hulks. Love you guys, but rules is rules.)
Can’t be in another team because that’s just dumb. (Looking at you, Wolverine)
Must be a previously-inducted member of an Avengers team.

Hawkeye - Ranged fighter. Avengers veteran. Team leader.

Mockingbird - She’s the espionage vet. Good with hand-to-hand, cloak and dagger stuff. Plus, I always love it when spouses/couples are on a team together.

Machine Man - With no Iron Man, we need another tin man with a drinking problem. Enter: Aaron Stack. He also fills the team’s jerk quota.

She-Hulk - Brains and brawn.

Falcon - Aerial combat, plus, dude can control birds. A steady hand and a level head.

D-Man - He’s D-Man.

Marvel, you know where to find me.

I'd read the shit out of that, actually. But wouldn't it need at least a token magic user? Not saying it's necessary, but it could be sort of handy for situations.

I thought about that, but Doctor Strange is played out, Doctor Druid is a joke, and Scarlet Witch is, man, she's just a mess.
