I think Steven and Marc - and even Jake - would be up for a temporary world saving alliance, but I can't see Marc agreeing to actually join a team unless he'd made a lot of progress on working with others (and also himself). The Avengers are also very public-facing, as Val kept saying - they don't really do secret identities over there, and I think that would be a big problem for Marc since he's unlikely to want the world press asking a lot of awkward questions about his past. Even though Steven would probably LOVE to be an Avenger.
I don't think Sam would regard Moon Knight as a great candidate, either, although that would depend a lot on exactly how much he knew about him. I think he'd be unlikely to try and recruit someone just because they've got superpowers and are beating up criminals at night, and he'd be even more reluctant if he knew who Marc was and had read his record. (On the other hand, if they DID actually end up working together during a world-saving emergency I think he'd turn around fast, much as I expect him to do with Yelena and the rest of the team once he actually sees them in action and realizes they are the good guys. But I think Steven would still get outvoted two personalities to one when it came to joining the team. Obviously what Sam should actually do is ask Scarlet Scarab, assuming Layla has accepted Tawaret's power on a longer-term basis ...)
I can't imagine the circumstances under which he would join up, but Moon Knight would actually fit in way better with the New Avengerz, since 'ex-military, used to do questionable black ops work, profound mental health challenges, shady boss who lies a lot' is pretty much their whole thing. And I bet Steven and Bob would get along!
