    "The Avengers" wasn't "sci-fi". It was a secret agent series, so some
    places do call it "spy-fi", which could cause the confusion if reading
    too quickly. Either that or some fool website 'journalist' or idiotic
    Assifical (non)Intelligence app is confusing it with the Marvel
    "Avengers".

    Technically the super hero franchises are a sub-class of "sci-fi" since
    they do often have futuristic vehicles and devices, aliens (Superman
    *is* an alien), loads of techno-babble, etc.

    In fairness that show was well before Marvel adopted the name and
    certainly not to be confused with the 2012 show also of the same name.
