History

In the 1940s, Steve Rogers was recruited into the Super Soldier Program and was injected with the Super-Soldier Serum, turning him into Captain America. He would go on missions with his partner, Bucky Barnes, along with the Howling Commandos to stop the Red Skull and Hydra. On one of these missions, Bucky would fall off of a train, with his body later being recovered by Arnim Zola, who turned him into the assassin known as the Winter Soldier. At some point, Steve would be frozen in ice while fighting the Red Skull, and was later recovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. 70 years later.[2]

In 2012, Loki emerged from a portal generated by the Tesseract in a S.H.I.E.L.D., wielding a staff given to him by Thanos. This prompts Nick Fury to assemble the Avengers. The team initially consisted of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Black Widow, with Hawkeye joining later after being freed from Loki's mind control. Together, they stopped the Chitauri's invasion of New York by redirecting a nuclear bomb launched by the Government into the Chitauri Mothership.[2]

Shortly after the Battle of New York, the Silver Surfer comes to Earth to herald Galactus' arrival, but is attacked by Doctor Doom and knocked out of the sky. His surfboard is shattered into "cosmic bricks". Doctor Doom hires villains such as Magneto, Loki and Venom to gather the bricks to build "Dr. Doom's Doom Ray of Doom" but realizing the impossibility of the situation Nick Fury gathers the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and various other heroes to get back the bricks.[3]

Loki attempts at getting revenge later on by working with the Chitauri to "overload" super villains around the world with Nornfrost, and take the throne of Asgard.[4]

Around 2015, Tony Stark starts a dormant peacekeeping program, and things go terribly awry, forcing him, Thor, the Incredible Hulk and the rest of the Avengers to reassemble. As the fate of Sokovia hangs in the balance, the team is put to the ultimate test as they battle Ultron, a technological terror hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they encounter two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff.[2]

Ultron hijacks Iron Man's armor with the help of Yellowjacket and summons the Iron Legion to assemble an army the Avengers must defeat.[5]

Meanwhile, the Guardians of the Galaxy attempt to stop Thanos, who is meaning to use the Build Stone to build a weapon capable of destroying Earth.[6]

Some time later, on Xandar, the Guardians of the Galaxy were sent by Nova Prime to help stop the forces of Kang the Conqueror. After a fight with a Celestial and after Avenger missions, every citizen and hero within New York are greeted by Kang the Conqueror only to immediately transport a section of Manhattan Island to his realm of Chronopolis. There the Avengers, as well as other heroes of other timelines and universes, gather to figure out how to stop Kang by recovering shards from the nexus of realities hidden across Chronopolis to build a machine to bring Knowhere into Chronopolis, which released an E.M.P. to disable Kang's shield and allow Manhattan to be returned to its original universe.[1]

Thanos returns with the intentions to steal vibranium from the mines in Wakanda with the help of Ulysses Klaue and Killmonger.[7]

Venom partners with Green Goblin to pick up two activation keys to activate a Roxxon weapon and destroy the city, having constant confrontations against Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider.[8]

After the Red Skull and A.I.M. steal Tony Stark's weather machine, the Avengers must work alongside Justin Hammer to stop the Red Skull from destroying the world.[9]

After stealing the Infinity Stones from Thanos and hiding them in the Avengers tower, Loki decides to join the Avengers to become a hero, not imagining that Thanos and his army would invade Earth to retrieve the Stones back.[10]

While shopping for donuts, Scott Lang discovers that his van has been stolen. It had been stolen by Thanos, who partnered with Red Skull to steal the ant-van and use it to travel back in time and recruit villains from the past.[11]

The Avengers gather to celebrate their latest victory, but their celebration is quickly interrupted by the mysterious disappearance of Black Widow’s father, Red Guardian. As the Avengers investigate, they discover that Red Guardian isn’t the only one missing when they meet a dangerous new foe quite unlike anything they’ve ever encountered before.[12]
