Actually thinking about it after having read some of the old 60s Ant-Man and Iron Man comics, The Origin Avengers actually aren't as boring as I once felt they were. Thinking about the original five members (I'm not counting the Hulk, the Hulk belongs with the Defenders to me), you've got:
• A man living on borrowed time (Iron Man)
• A man who thought he was human, but now knows his whole life is a lie and he was secretly a vessel for a god (Dr. Don Blake/Thor)
• A man with bipolar disorder and trauma from a dead wife (Ant-Man/Giant-Man)
• A man from another time (Captain America)
Really, the only well adjusted person here might be the Wasp. And even then, I think her father died (I was just getting to rereading her debut comic). So really, these people all have trauma they need to deal with.
