Certainly seems that way, but far from it. I don't think any original FF member has made it, maybe honorable member. Only 2, and perhaps a 3rd X-Man, Wolverine and Beast (and if you count Quicksilver as an X-Man). I don't think Prof. X as a member of the Illuminati would count. Angel and Iceman were Defenders. A couple of New Warriors and Thunderbolts.

When the Avengers began, it was similar to the Justice League, they just incorporated their lesser known, 2nd, 3rd and 4th rate heroes into a team. Now, it is the major players. And with Dark Avengers, more villans are now 'Avengers', blurring the line. And before I get flack, JL had Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Hawkman...likewise, Cap., Iron Man, Hulk.

But I do agree, a lot of characters that have been released have at one time been Avengers. But a 3rd, if that. Probably a quarter, re-releases really obscure that. Sorry I get long-winded.
