Could someone explain to me the Dark Avengers? I tried reading the wiki page on it but I got confused. How did they form? And they are villains but using the names of superheroes?

If I recall correctly...during the Secret Invasion, Normal Osborn killed the Skrull Queen, and due to the publicity, replaced Tony Stark as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., which he renamed H.A.M.M.E.R. (was that ever explained?). The New Avengers were still underground due to never registering for the Superhuman Registration Act established in the Civil War.
Thus, Norman Osborn established his own Avengers, since there wasn't really a public Avenger team at that point. He took over Iron Man's suits, repainted one and called himself the Iron Patriot. The large part of his roster was the team of Thunderbolts he led prior to the Skrull invasion. Moonstone became Ms. Marvel, Venom (who was originally the Scorpion) became Spider-Man (dressed in black), and Bullseye became Hawkeye. Osborn offered up Daken the role of Wolverine in a chance to best his father. He got the Sentry to join the Dark Avengers by knowing how to appeal to the Sentry's void inside of him, and Ares went along, being the God of War, noticed that everything Osborn said made sense and took him at face value.
