'one to settle score' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'volatile eve rang' is the wordplay.
'volatile' indicates anagramming the letters.
'eve'+'rang'='everang'
'everang' anagrammed gives 'AVENGER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avenger that I've seen before include "Mrs Peel?" , ""Count of Monte Cristo," for example" , "One bent on retaliation." , "One exacting payback on another's behalf" , "one seeking to get even" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
