well the Avengers like to have an even 7 members.... so.....
is Hawkeye alive again or not? if he is i could see him being the leader... if not Wasp could lead
along with:
Hercules (i'm pretty sure he loves being an Avenger)
Nova (Richard Rider, i think he deserves a shot)
Warbird
Mach IV (if he leaves the T-Bolts)
Starfox
Fire-Star
a reasonably rounded line up.... unless they can get Quasar to join... that'd be cool
Black Panther doesn't really belong on the WCA. I'm the king of a country! Guess I'll hang out in California.
I'd rather see the Champions return (which has been hinted at too). Or a combination of the teams, such as the Champions being the name of a West Coast branch of super-heroes that get together with the Avengers (the east coast branch) to chill and exchange info.
Wonder Man: along with US Agent, was pretty much the leader of the original West Coast Avengers, so he has to be here.
Wasp and Hank Pym: they were classic Avengers and they are no longer on the Avengers roster, so they should be put here.
Hercules: he loves being an Avenger, so much that he even sided with the Avengers over his fellow Olympians once. He deserves to be an Avenger again.
Nova (Richard Rider): i agree with Scoob, i think Nova deserves a shot at being an Avenger. He has never been one, and i think he deserves it.
Hawkeye: he would probly be the leader of this team of Avengers im making right now. He's like Cap in alot of ways: he's a street-level peak-human guy, who isnt afraid to mix it up with stronger foes, and is a great leader and tactician.
Warbird: she's on and off with the New T-Bolts, but lately she really hasnt been seen, so i think Carol should join the West Coast Avengers.
RESERVES:
Falcon
Starfox
Black Panther
Yeah, I'm having trouble seeing a bunch of Canucks up and moving out to California.
There's also a lot to wonder about with Hawkeye. Sure, evidence points to him having been truly resurrected, but why hasn't he opted to reveal himself? Why stay hidden? He certainly wasn't acting very friendly to the Avengers by sending that "message." (Especially if you read into the subtext behind the newspaper clipping.)
What might be a cool idea is Hawkeye setting up a more "traditional" team of Avengers over on the West Coast. While Cap's team is out of the public eye, and more geared towards dirty jobs and international intrigue, Hawkeye's team is the new American Sweethearts, doing it old fashioned and protecting the public from the big, unhidden but overwhelmingly powerful threats.
Due to the handling of the whole Wanda thing, plus the new direction Cap is steering the Avengers in, I could see a conflict of ideals/ideologies between the two teams. Sort of like the X-Men's "schism" a couple years back between the Morrison/Claremont teams.
This roster should include....
1. Hawkeye
2. Thor
3. She-Hulk
4. Wonder Man
5. U.S War Machine
6. Black Widow
Probably not going to happen like that, but if I was writing, those are the characters I'd ask for.

Hopefully, the Alpha Flight teams just gets turned into another branch of Avengers. That's better than them being dead or dis-banding.But i can't see that happening...
Avengers North does have a ring to it🙂

Why? a bunch of Canucks have moved from Canada to New York to join the X-Men, so why is that unbelievable?
Deadpool, Gravitron, Sabertooth, Weapon X [Caine], Wildchild [joined X-Factor and Weapon X], Aurora [joined Weapon X], etc.. are all Canadians who moved around.
Deadpool and Sabretooth are mercenaries, so it's natural they'd move around... Graviton's a super-villain, and the others were all employed by a government program that answers to the united governments of Canada, USA, and the United Kingdom.
Alpha Flight is a nationalist superhero team for Canada the way The Avengers indellibly stand for America. Plus, unlike the bloodthirsty villains or rootless shadow-operatives you mentioned, they have roots, friends and family in Canada, I'm sure. Why would they give all that up to go be superheroes in America?

Like really many Alpha FLight members have moved around such as Marrina to the Avengers, Wildchild to X-Factor and Weapon X, Northstar to the X-Men, Wolverine to the X-Men, Deadpool did work for Department H. When they worked for Canada at the time they wern't mercenaries just agents. Deadpool stopped being one and wanted help from Sasquatch. Shaman at the start of Alpha Flight vol.2 was living in Alaska helping people out. There was even a trail in vol.1 where had AF on trail, because the government felt they didn't have the country as their first priority. Since they were saving global problems not domestic.
Naaaa...they were Canada's team while they were with the governement. However, they consider themselves as global protectors, but they love their country of course. Actually Guardian moved to New York for good, he even met Captain America.
