The head for the grey Widow really is nutz...

Oh course, how could I forget that loveable loser, Eric. Quiet as kept, that Roger Stern/John Buscema/Tom Palmer run was IMO one of the very best periods of the Avengers. Right up there with the earlier Byrne and Perez runs (I forget who was writing those) and the much earlier initial Buscema run (I also can't recall the writer early on, either).

I'm not a big Avengers guy outside of those pockets in time, but those were some weighty and important stories. Under Seige alone saw friction between newly minted team chairwoman, Wasp, and ready made misogynist, Herc. Lol his stubbornness and unwillingness to accept her as team leader nearly got him killed and the Avengers destroyed. I love that story.

Modern Marvel should take note of that era if they value organic storytelling, sans the pedantic and sometimes ham-fisted stuff of today. Not everything is bad, but I don't walk away from stories with the same satisfaction I once did.

Anyway...I began reading just a bit earlier than your jump off point, circa 79-80.
