Uncanny Avengers # 1 (Vol. 2), released on January 28, 2015, is the first of a five-issue limited series that followed the events of the AXIS crossover. Written by Rick Remender and illustrated by Daniel Acuña, it is known for tackling the controversial retcon of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's parentage. 

  • Plot Overview: The issue begins the "Counter-Evolutionary" arc. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch travel to Wundagore Mountain and eventually to Counter-Earth to discover the truth about their origin after learning that Magneto is not their biological father.
  • Key Characters: The new "Unity Squad" includes Captain America (Sam Wilson), Rogue, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Vision, Sabretooth, and Doctor Voodoo.
  • Creative Team: Written by Rick Remender and illustrated by Daniel Acuña, with cover art by Acuña. 

Reviewers generally praised the issue's visual direction and high stakes while noting its heavy reliance on previous Marvel history. 

  • Visuals: Daniel Acuña's art was highly acclaimed for its "murky darkness" and ability to sell the sci-fi redesign of Counter-Earth.
  • Writing: Some critics found the dialogue "fragmented" or "heavy-handed," but appreciated the "zippy pacing" and fresh character dynamic.
  • Retcon Controversy: The removal of Magneto as the twins' father was a significant point of contention for many long-term fans.
