On the cover to Avengers #16, Captain America shouts "Avengers Assemble!" against a wall of posters of prospective Avengers. This is the issue that saw the team's first major roster overhaul.
Which 12 characters were depicted in those posters?

No new additions from either list.
Hint 1: This issue debuted in 1965, if that helps narrow who existed in the Marvel Universe at the time.
Hint 2: With the exception of one slot, the other four characters did have a commonality.
Hint 3: Only two of the three left to guess ever attained Avengers status of any level.
01. Giant-Man 02. Hawkeye 03. Iron Man 04. Quicksilver 05. Scarlet Witch 06. Thor 07. Wasp 08. 09. 10. 11. 12.

No additions, though Fury and Swordsman would have been interesting to throw on.
There is a theme to Cap's Kooky Quartet. That theme continued onto the posters, when you took away the existing Avengers.
I'll also alphabetize them for everyone.
01. 02. 03. 04. Giant-Man 05. Hawkeye 06. Iron Man 07. 08. Quicksilver 09. 10. Scarlet Witch 11. Thor 12. Wasp

I think I know what the theme is, but I don't know enough characters to guess.

I vaguely remember the Black Knight and Rick Jones and being a little surprised at the others. Since the Black Knight at the time was a villain, I'm guessing some were villains? 01. Black Knight 02. Rick Jones 03. Hulk 04. Giant-Man 05. Hawkeye 06. Iron Man 07. Enchantress 08. Quicksilver 09. Melter 10. Scarlet Witch 11. Thor 12. Wasp

Ibby adds the Enchantress and Black Knight. Andy adds Rick Jones and Melter. You're correct about the poster theme, Andy. I was shocked when I looked at it again the other day. In my head it was a wall of heroes...I didn't remember that it was a wall of villains largely.
One spot remaining, and the next question goes to whoever gets it.

Andy has it! Executioner was along for the poster ride. Very interesting set up at the time. Besides the active Avengers, it was all villains. The villains who made the roster hadn't really pestered the Avengers to the point of the Masters of Evil though.

Yeah, I remember that time - and the Black Knight stood out because he was a villain. And for some reason, I always liked the Melter (yeah, I'm the one person).
Okay, after beating Ian Karkull, 16 people received extra time for enhanced vitality throughout their lives. Name them.
