1. Reminiscent of The Avengers, a British espionage TV show.

   Siouxie and the Banshees did an Avengeresque video some years ago. Don't remember the title of the song, though.

   On the other hand, I just thought of the scene in DIABOLIK in which the audience at the press conference receive a jolt of laughing gas, which is very Avengersesque.

   I reckon it's also part of the way the story is supposed to be an Avengersesque fantasy, rather than a 100% accurate portrayal of actual Victorian life. In this way the serial is very clever; being an entertaining "period piece" without having to bend over backwards being too accurate.

1. Resembling or characteristic of The Avengers (a superhero team from Marvel) or the media associated with them.

   Because its a TV show focused on world building. The Hobbit was focused on the action, and having Avengersesque battles, which is contrast to what The Hobbits about.

   Even the Squadron Supreme, the grandaddy of doppelganger characters, were born for an "unofficial crossover," with DC doing an appearance of Avengersesque characters the same month, and were used largely for satire, until Mark, in their maxi-series, took them in their own, rather different, direction.

   I love boss fights, I love EEs, I love difficult things... What I don't love is things that are borderline impossible, things so difficult that you have to dump gobble gums on them, what I don't like is having to assemble an Avengersesque team to beat, I HATE bullet sponges
