Two things, both changed at this point.

The first is minor, just page formatting (dab location, infobox roster list, and "Fiction character bio"). The last is the biggest part of this issue. A team is not a character.

The second... The first reference has be removed and should not return in it current form or anything close to it. As writing it is and unsourced, unverifiable, editorial assumption. That sort of shit shouldn't be done.

The same gos for these "References"

Unknown to the Avengers, the Grandmaster had in fact based the Squadron Sinister on an already-existing team - the heroic Squadron Supreme - from the Earth-712 universe. This was revealed years later in Squadron Supreme #8 (of 12) (1986). In Avengers vol. 1, #85 - 86 several of the Avengers encounter the Squadron Supreme and initially battle them, thinking that the team is in fact the Squadron Sinister.

Note! After the initial encounter with the Avengers but before the encounter with Nebulon, Dr. Spectrum - African doctor Kenji Obatu - battles Iron Man again in Iron Man vol. 1, #63 - 66. Iron Man crushes the Power Prism and the defeated Obatu is deported. Unknown to Iron Man, the Power Prism reforms and is eventually given to evangelist Billy Roberts, who after learning of the Prism's abilities becomes the second Dr. Spectrum. It is this version of Dr. Spectrum that is contacted by Hyperion.

Both of these are asides of information that should be worked into the article, if they belong here at all. The second one seems to deal with a single character, not the team.
