You can't ask for details and then snub details :P

Fate grew up in 1910s England. I actually plan on his, shall we say, problematic past being a part of his character. He was literally one of the Black-and-Tans before he got his powers.

Maybe we need a fictional history for each org.
My idea is like... Avengers were formed as an unofficial alliance of Allied superheroes in WWII. Later grandfathered into SHIELD following the formation of the United Nations.
The Justice League was originally the Justice Society of America, and was also formed after WWII by the likes of Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Carter Hall, etc. Membership changes and bankrolling from Wayne changed it from basically a drinking club for veteran superheroes into the global defense alliance it is today as the Justice League.
Unless you're a member of a Cosmic Law Enforcement Agency...

I think we can draw the line between the two as, like:
If you are a superhero and want to do it for a living, you join the Avengers. A paycheck, benefits, insurance, but you have to register with the US government and are ultimately at their beck and call.
The Justice League is pretty different, and is more like a secret society of superheroes. You have to be invited to join, and its membership are more along the lines of aliens, demigods, etc, whose concerns are outside the scope of world governments.

Can't believe nobody's applied for racist Cap in one of these games yet. Get on it, people
I wonder how President Superman and Captain America would meet. Since Steve Rogers grew up in 1930s and 40s America, it's quite the eye opener
Really I think it's more because Thor is probably the Avengers equivalent to Wonder Woman.
The Avengers in this world would probably be something closer to the Dark Avengers, being an explicitly government run and funded superhero team.

If I went Thor, I'd be too tempted to make him "Superman with a different paint job." And I wanna distance myself from that.
If you consider that the New Gods (as a comic series) only began because Kirby left Marvel and wanted to continue his Thor storyline, that introduces some new elements as well. Maybe Asgard and New Genesis/Apokolips are related in some way, with "magic space gods" being sister-races, related somehow.
I think there needs to be some kind of connection between Wondie's Greek Gods and the Asgardians. Or at least something to explain why some Gods are "real" and others are "just magic aliens."
With only the one Superman now, you know what the Avengers could use..?
