I'm talking about the current lineup. Clearly there have been other Avengers whose powers don't overlap with the current team. But the lineups are immaterial; the point was that we can't judge a team by power sets and levels or else the lowest bracket would always come out as being worthless. For example: Power-wise, what does Bucky bring to the team that any of the others can't replicate? It's futile to follow such thinking, because if we take it seriously it destroys the concept of the team, and ignores Bucky's role outside of power considerations.

this was true well over a year ago.Logan which people seem unable to grasp or notice was only on two teams for the last two years. New avengers and x-force. x-force is not even a full time, team it simply special opt team for extreme events. He was also a member of new avengers which was another haft time gig.
His appearances don't lie. He's been the most often-used character in marvel over the last 5 years. With good reason, mind you, because he sells. But when the characters in the Marvel U are actually making jokes at his expense about how much he gets around to the different events, teams, etc. it's all the confirmation that's needed.
You follow him as much as anyone, and more than most, so you know exactly how much we've seen of him.

I actaully think they may a lot of senses given the context. Prior to capt death he and spiderman ahd grown closes. He also made several refferrences of believing spiderman was underrated by the super hero community and was A class player. Him being put on the main team now that Capt himself gets to pick the team makes a lot of senses.Wolverine being picked makes lots of senses given what has gone down, if anything with the whole secret invasion event and dark riegn, proves that Iron man was right that a team needs some one who will do what the other avengers can't or won't.
People seemed to misunderstand my earlier comment about SM. Everyone sees him as A-list, even the heroes. I don't dispute that. Pete's character, however, has never put him in the limelight with these types of heroes. He's looked down upon by society, always sh*t out of luck, etc. Being so lauded with the world's premiere super team doesn't jive with that. He's also, for lack of a better term, a solo act. Even Wolverine, the other big draw, has an origin and history of being on teams. The others have had solo books in the past as well, but we see them as Avengers first (IM, Cap, Hawkeye, etc.).
In other words, if Sesame Street's "One of These Things Is Not Like the Other..." song was playing as I perused the current lineup, I think it would settle on Pete before the others.
