Great Lakes Avengers (1989)[edit]
Main article: List of Great Lakes Avengers members
A group of heroes independently formed their own branch of Avengers, as Great Lakes Avengers, in West Coast Avengers vol. 2 #46 (July 1989), with no official status. Later known as the Lightning Rods (after the Thunderbolts during Heroes Reborn), they eventually switched their name back. In the GLA Misassembled miniseries, the team was contacted by the Maria Stark Foundation and forced to change their name. They chose the Great Lakes X-Men. In The Thing #8, they changed their name again to the Great Lakes Champions. Since the Civil War, the team has been known as the Great Lakes Initiative. In the new ongoing Great Lakes Avengers series, the team was made official members of the Avengers due to a legal technicality.[48] A few issues later, their membership was revoked.[49]
Avengers Resistance (2009)[edit]
Main article: List of Avengers Resistance members
Justice and other former members of the New Warriors eventually left The Initiative to form Counter Force, with the purpose of ensuring that The Initiative stayed true to their goal of training new and undeveloped superhumans. After Camp Hammond was shut down, Tigra and Gauntlet joined the New Warriors who had left the Initiative, and they formed the Avengers Resistance, with the specific purpose of exposing the criminal deeds of Norman Osborn.
Astonishing Avengers (2014)[edit]
During the AXIS storyline, Magneto assembles an unnamed group consisting of Absorbing Man, Carnage, Deadpool, Doctor Doom, Enchantress, Hobgoblin, Jack O'Lantern V, Loki, Mystique and Sabretooth to combat the Red Skull.[50] When the Red Skull was defeated, the villains went their separate ways, but were inverted due the spell cast by Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom.[51] The inverted villains were reassembled by Steve Rogers when he noticed something was wrong with the Avengers and X-Men to assemble an effective resistance against the heroes after the other Avengers - with the exception of Spider-Man and Nova - were captured, naming the new team the Astonishing Avengers.[52] During the subsequent fight, Carnage sacrifices himself to prevent the inverted X-Men detonating a 'gene bomb' that would have killed every non-mutant in the blast radius,[53] with the fight concluding with the rest of the 'Astonishing Avengers' - with the exception of Sabretooth, who was protected by a shield generated by Iron Man - being returned to normal. However, the team left a video message claiming responsibility for the heroes' actions while corrupted before they returned to their own villainous ways, identifying themselves as the 'Axis of Evil', allowing the Avengers and X-Men to rebuild their reputations.[54]
Hydra Avengers (2017)[edit]
During the Secret Empire storyline, the Hydra regime has their own Avengers, consisting of Odinson, Deadpool, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Taskmaster, the Black Ant, and the Superior Octopus[55]. However, Odinson only served on this team because he was psychologically broken due to his current state of unworthiness prompting him to side with Rogers after his old ally still proved capable of lifting his hammer, while Wanda was possessed by a demon and the Vision by an A.I. virus. In the final stand, Odinson returned to his old allies as he recognized that Rogers had gone too far, while the Vision's daughter and Brother Voodoo restored the Vision and the Witch to normal respectively, Taskmaster and Black Ant turning against their fellows in exchange for future amnesty[56].

Noun adjunct
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Look up attributive noun in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
In grammar, a noun adjunct or attributive noun or noun (pre)modifier is an optional noun that modifies another noun; it is a noun functioning as a pre-modifier in a noun phrase. For example, in the phrase "chicken soup" the noun adjunct "chicken" modifies the noun "soup". It is irrelevant whether the resulting compound noun is spelled in one or two parts. "Field" is a noun adjunct in both "field player" and "fieldhouse".[1]

Related concepts[edit]
Adjectival noun is a term that was formerly synonymous with noun adjunct but is now usually used to mean "an adjective used as a noun" (i.e. the opposite process, as in the Irish meaning "Irish people" or the poor meaning "poor people"). Japanese adjectival nouns are a different concept.
English[edit]
Noun adjuncts were traditionally mostly singular (e.g. "trouser press") except when there were lexical restrictions (e.g. "arms race"), but there is a recent trend towards more use of plural ones. Many of these can also be or were originally interpreted and spelled as plural possessives (e.g. "chemicals' agency", "writers' conference", "Rangers' hockey game"),[2] but they are now often written without the apostrophe, although decisions on when to do so require editorial judgment.[3] There are morphologic restrictions on the classes of adjunct that can be plural and nonpossessive; irregular plurals are solecistic as nonpossessive adjuncts (for example, "men clothing" or "women magazine" sound improper to fluent speakers).
Fowler's Modern English Usage states in the section "Possessive Puzzles":
Five years' imprisonment, Three weeks' holiday, etc. Years and weeks may be treated as possessives and given an apostrophe or as adjectival nouns without one. The former is perhaps better, as to conform to what is inevitable in the singular – a year's imprisonment, a fortnight's holiday.
Noun adjuncts can also be strung together in a longer sequence preceding the final noun, with each added noun modifying the noun which follows it, in effect creating a multiple-word noun adjunct which modifies the following noun (e.g. "chicken soup bowl", in which "chicken" modifies "soup" and "chicken soup" modifies "bowl"). There is no theoretical limit to the number of noun adjuncts which can be added before a noun, and very long constructions are occasionally seen, for example "Dawlish pub car park cliff plunge man rescued",[4] in which "Dawlish", "pub", "car park", "cliff", and "plunge" are all noun adjuncts. They could each be removed successively (starting at the beginning of the sentence) without changing the grammar of the sentence. This type of construction is not uncommon in headlinese, the condensed grammar used in newspaper headlines.
Use when an adjectivally inflected alternative is available[edit]
It is a trait of natural language that there is often more than one way to say something. Any logically valid option will usually find some currency in natural usage. Thus "erythrocyte maturation" and "erythrocytic maturation" can both be heard, the first using a noun adjunct and the second using an adjectival inflection. In some cases one of the equivalent forms has greater idiomaticness; thus "cell cycle" is more commonly used than "cellular cycle". In some cases, each form tends to adhere to a certain sense; thus "face mask" is the normal term in hockey, and "facial mask" is heard more often in spa treatments. Although "spine cord" is not an idiomatic alternative to "spinal cord", in other cases, the options are arbitrarily interchangeable with negligible idiomatic difference; thus "spine injury" and "spinal injury" coexist and are equivalent from any practical viewpoint, as are "meniscus transplant" and "meniscal transplant". A special case in medical usage is "visual examination" versus "vision examination": the first typically means "an examination made visually", whereas the latter means "an examination of the patient's vision".
Using prepositions after such phrases[edit]
"Regulatory impact analysis of the law on business" seems to be illogical because the preposition "on" grammatically belongs to the word "analysis" though it should belong to the word "impact". However the phrase "regulatory impact analysis" is standard in usage and its change to "analysis of (the) regulatory impact" would look strange, even though putting the preposition "on" after it would not cause any problems: "analysis of the regulatory impact of the law on business".
