The Charter came to be created by the founding Avengers who had also signed it. (Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes v1 #1) One iteration was put forth to the United Nations Security Council which set specific procedures into place for the team along with requirements for what was by then a respected and powerful superteam. (Avengers v1 #329) Under Order 834.23, Avengers could be recalled back to active service. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. could apply this order and that people having served into the Initiative fall under that order. (Fantastic Four v1 #642)
An Avengers Code Omega emergency were threats that could bring an end to the world. (Marvel Team-Up v1 #60)

A fail-safe plan developed by Bruce Banner in case the Hulk ever went on a rampage was the Icarus Protocol. This involved placing the threat in a shuttle and launching it into the sun in the hope it would be destroyed. (Uncanny Avengers v3 #12) Vision had secretly created the Avengers Failsafe Program that was a database of new young heroes to become the next wave of Avengers should the hero team be destroyed or disbanded.
