Rick Remender Adds Familiar Faces to 'Uncanny Avengers' Roster

Totally with you.
Marvel NOW has a problem with amnesia, resulting in a ubiquitous continuity mindfuck.
We remember events as having occurred five, ten, even twenty years ago based on the serialized monthly print schedule. For us, Captain America was thawed out and joined the Avengers in a Stan Lee/ Jack Kirby story from 1962...
But if we take a closer look, we find the time frame in which these characters live is quite separate from our printing schedule; events occur far more rapidly in succession to one another than spaced once per month. So what does that mean for just this team, with just these characters, in this iteration of the Avengers?
Wanda re-wrote existence for readers in 2006. For the characters that are standing beside her, Wolverine in particular, whose ENTIRE life was thrown into irrevocable disarray? It couldn't have happened more than a year ago. A YEAR. Okay, maybe two years. Think about that ex-lover who really SUCKED, from even...five years ago. Now make your breakup a worldwide catastrophe that effected everyone you know in violent, heartbreaking, deadly ways, and changed the course of human existence FOREVER. TWICE. And now? You're back together again, and will NEVER talk about your past ever, not once, for any appreciable length of time.
Sure. Sounds reasonable.
By that reckoning?
Havoc stopped being a space pirate ohh YESTERDAY.
Rogue left Mystique's care sometime in the middle of Bush Jr's first term.
Thor has eight clones of himself that are currently having adventures on other planet Earths in other dimensions, and they're all REALLY tired. Same for Wolverine, who cuts his scrotum every night just to FEEL something.
Sunfire was an X-Man for ninety-eight seconds and went on three missions with two versions of that team, in that timeframe. He's really pissed to have to wear that mask again, but it's ok because it's only been six years since he told Xavier to piss off and went back to Tokyo, but after the recent reactor business (which he had NOTHING to do with, nope, not at all) he'll hide his face any way he can.
Cap was unfrozen in the late 90's and probably still can't figure out cell phones.
Wasp has been dead a year, but nobody bats an eye that she's back because Jean Grey pops up every six months to say hi.
Wonderman attacked Avengers tower with intent to KILL everyone like two weeks ago? Three? Ahh who can remember, bygones and forgiveness and all that great stuff.
In conclusion, we just have to IGNORE it. There's no rectifying something so broken as modern continuity.
Wear a helmet, do the pushups, treat today like a gift, buy more Marvel and never, ever, waste time.
Cheers,

Magic did it, or to be more specific, she was trapped in a portal by Thor to save her life. So she's back.
