The Revengers is the name of different teams in Marvel Comics.
The first version of the Revengers is a fictional team of supervillains who were formed to fight A-Next in Marvel Comics' MC2 series A-Next. They were created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz.
It is also the name of a comical parody of the Avengers in Earth-665, the setting of Marvel's parody comic Not Brand Echh.
In September 2011, an Earth-616 version of the Revengers led by Wonder Man appears. They were created by Gabriele Dell'otto and Brian Michael Bendis.
After a tragic mission that claimed the life of several Avengers, including Hank Pym and the Wasp, their daughter and son were furious to see A-Next, a team of heroes referred to by people as the "next generation of Avengers". The children of Hank Pym and Wasp used their parents' technology to replicate their powers. The daughter, Hope Pym, duplicated her mother's powers as the Red Queen while her brother, Henry Pym Jr. copied his father's powers as Big Man.
Red Queen also helped create an energetic villain called Ion Man, whom she sent to kill Mainframe. Although he failed (unknowingly, since Mainframe was later rebuilt), he passed her test. Red Queen soon added more villains to her fold (Spider-Girl's nemesis, Killerwatt, and Wild Thing's homicidal half-brother Sabreclaw). She waited until the members of the Avengers were at their most vulnerable before sending her team, the Revengers, to destroy them. Red Queen herself wanted to personally torture Stinger, as she felt that Stinger dishonored her parents' memories. But the reserve members of A-Next defeated the Revengers, and Big Man turned himself in, even stopping his crazed sister, as Big Man did not want to be a killer.
