parent nodes: Avengers | Avengers Charter | Year2015
The original charter was agreed upon by the founding team members after feeling like S.H.I.E.L.D. was no longer trustworthy. The simple document governed the team through much of their career. The initial document was signed by members only with their superhero names, feeling that even in the formation of this new team, that their privacy and ability to have a secret identity, was key. Later members would sign similar documents in the same way, with only their superhero moniker.
