The Avengers Charter, Section 7 prescribes the destiny of Avengers property in the event of the Dissolution of the Avengers team. This charter is linked in the "Secret Files" section of the Avengers Assemble! website. I never paid much attention to it before, because I noted that the Marvel RPG was the source. Well, to my surprise, I just found out the same version of the Avengers Charter is also in the back of Aveners Annual 11 (a very good read by the way, but besides the point).
Section 7 reads:
The Avengers organization may be disbanded only by order of the National Security Council for a breach of national security, or by unanimous vote of the entire active membership of the Avengers. In the event of disbanding, all Avengers properties and facilities shall revert to the Maria Stark Foundation and/or Stark International, with the exception of any security devices, analysis systems, or data which has any bearing on national security. Said materials and data shall be immediately turned over to the government of the United States.
My question is -- since just about any of the cool high tech stuff the mansion was loaded with could have bearing on national security, what does SHIELD now have at their disposal? Could SHIELD be behind Disassembled, in order to get ahold of all the cool high tech weaponry in Avengers Mansion? Or maybe Stark didn't provide the stuff to SHIELD, so that's why SHIELD is honked off and trying to register everybody.
No, I don't really think that Bendis and the rest took this into account, but I thought it was an interesting bit of backstory that could really fit in with current events if the current writers wanted to horse around with it.
