From ''Thunderbolts'' #76-81, the Thunderbolts were no longer featured. The focus of the comic shifted to Daniel Axum, a former supervillain known as the Battler. Axum joined an underground fighting circuit that employed other supervillains, including the [[Armadillo (comics)|Armadillo]]. Axum, along with fellow combatant Man-Killer, turned on his criminal manager Rey Trueno, and refused to return to the supervillain lifestyle. Despite continuing the title and numbering, this incarnation had no connection to the better-known team listed above, and the title was cancelled six issues into this direction.

The quote is frequently attributed to [[Joseph Swetnam]], but this was not Swetnam himself, but rather a character based on him in the 1620 play ''[[Swetnam the Woman-Hater|Swetnam the Woman-Hater Arraigned by Women]]'', which was written by an unknown author. Busiek reports that one ''Thunderbolts'' fan located a version of the [[couplet]] attributed to Irish archbishop [[Milo Sweetman]], who died in 1380.<ref name="Poem"/>

They have been the debut superhero team that has been doing some heroics where they had a woman named Gabby as their publicist. The Thunderbolts are first seen when they help the Avengers take down [[Growing Man]]. The press ends up giving the Thunderbolts the credit. Iron Man later tracked them to their headquarters and had a brief altercation with them until a bomb sent by [[Justin Hammer]] nearly wiped them out. When it comes to three possible bunkers of Justin Hammer, each members of both teams went to them. It was through one of them that Iron Man and Citizen V found that the Thunderbolts' publicist Gabby has connections with Justin Hammer. At the latest bunker, the Avengers and the Thunderbolts fought Justin Hammer in his Mega-Mandroid which had forcefield abilities. Thanks to Moonstone phasing through, the Mega-Mandroid was defeated with Justin Hammer being handed over to the authorities. Citizen V took the opportunity to fire Gabby as Iron Man is believed to think that the Thunderbolts are good guys after after all.
