avengers
Those who retaliate
Avengers are people who inflict punishment or harm in return for a wrong done to themselves or others.
The word carries a sense of righteous retaliation rather than mere revenge: The avengers tracked down the men who had killed their father.
An avenger acts on behalf of justice, often outside legal channels. (Capitalized Avengers refers to the Marvel superhero team.)
