In Avengers #236 by Roger Stern and Al Milgrom, Spider-Man decided to try out for the Avengers after hearing that it paid $1,000 per week, and Spider-Man has never been above using his heroism for profit. While he made a few appearances in later Avengers books as an occasional ally, and even earned the rank of ‘reserved member’ in Avengers #329 by Larry Hama and Paul Ryan, he didn’t get that full-time spot he was after until that issue of New Avengers. However, Spider-Man was considered for a position long before he took it upon himself to try out, and almost every founding member was on board for his inclusion–everyone except the Wasp.
