In a possible future depicted in Marvel Comics 2, wherein several Avengers were killed while on a mission and A-Next was formed to replace them, Hank Pym and the Wasp's children Hope Pym and Henry Pym Jr. use their parents' technology to replicate their powers to oppose A-Next, with Hope becoming the Red Queen and Pym Jr. Big Man. Additionally, she creates the energy-based villain Ion Man and recruits supervillains Killerwatt and Sabreclaw to help them form the Revengers before she and Pym Jr. lead them in attacking surviving Avengers. However, A-Next's reserve members defeat the Revengers, with Pym Jr. turning himself in and helping defeat Hope.
As of Last Planet Standing, the Revengers have replaced Pym Jr. with Magneta and resumed their fight with A-Next until Galactus arrives to destroy Earth. Most of the Revengers escape, though Sabreclaw defects to A-Next to help them fight Galactus.
In the Cancerverse, the Revengers originally existed as their reality's Avengers before they were corrupted by their version of Captain Marvel, who turned them into servants of the Many-Angled Ones.[2] They are later destroyed by Thanos and Death.[3]

In Earth-616, the Revengers exists as an antihero group formed and led by Wonder Man and consisting of Anti-Venom, Atlas, Captain Ultra, Century, Demolition Man, Devil-Slayer, Ethan Edwards, and Goliath. Due to his powers making him believe that the Avengers are not helping the world, Wonder Man forms the Revengers to stop them. In pursuit of his goal, he leads the group in attacking Avengers Mansion and Stark Tower and defeat the New Avengers.[4] However, Iron Man traps Wonder Man in a stasis container before Thor teleports the Revengers to Citi Field to minimize casualties. There, the Avengers, New Avengers, and Secret Avengers defeat the Revengers, who are imprisoned in the Raft.[5]
In New Avengers vol. 4, the Maker forms the New Revengers to battle the eponymous New Avengers, initially recruiting Asti the All-Seeing, Paibok, Vermin, White Tiger, alternate universe variants of Angar the Screamer and Skar,[6] and O.M.N.I.T.R.O.C.U.S. Amidst a battle between A.I.M. and S.H.I.E.L.D., the Maker sends the New Revengers to attack the former and the New Avengers. However, Toni Ho kills Skar while A.I.M. and the New Avengers defeat most of the New Revengers, though the Maker escapes.[7]
