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.[3]
In 2012, Loki emerged from a portal generated by the Tesseract in a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, 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.[3]
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.[4]
In 2013, 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.[5]
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.[3]
Ultron hijacks Iron Man's armor with the help of Yellowjacket and summons the Iron Legion to assemble an army the Avengers must defeat.[6]
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.[7]
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.[8]
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.[9]
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.[10]
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.[11]
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.[12]
The Spot from an alternate reality would briefly visit this universe, Peter would notice this and warn Miguel O'Hara about Spot.[13]
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.[14]
A young, aspiring hero and superhero fan inadvertently unleashes a powerful new villain looking to rid the world of the Avengers.[15]Residents
Notes
- Prior to being given an official reality number, this universe was referred as Earth-TRN333 as a part of our Temporary Reality Numbers classification system.
- Before being shown in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the numbering 13122 was first stated in the Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe and has been used in official Marvel articles ever since.[16]
- Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have a good relationship with the LEGO Group and Universal Studios, which allowed the LEGO Marvel Universe (Earth-13122) to officially appear in the movie.[2]
- The Earth-13122 contains the main media of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, especially the canonical video games and animations.
- Arthur Parsons, head of design on LEGO Marvel's Avengers, had made comments which could potentially be interpreted to indicate that LEGO Marvel's Avengers, despite sharing some similar events with them, is not in continuity with the two LEGO Marvel Super Heroes games. The exact wording however is left ambigous.[17] Parsons also described LEGO Marvel's Avengers as a "spiritual successor" to LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.[18]
- There are various connections between LEGO Marvel's Avengers and the two LEGO Marvel Super Heroes games, including:
- Fin Fang Foom's company Fin Fang Foom's Fantastically Fresh in Filling Fat Free Frogurt Factory debuted in LEGO Marvel's Avengers and later appeared in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.
- On the New York map from LEGO Marvel's Avengers, TV stores are broadcasting Sandman's attack on Grand Central Station, as seen in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
- Mr. Tiddles has clones in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, which were created in LEGO Marvel's Avengers.
- Some LEGO Marvel's Avengers minikit comics are present in Gwenpool's room.
- The Statue of Liberty is alive in LEGO Marvel's Avengers, something that only happened because of Magneto in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
- Agent Williams on a mission in LEGO Marvel's Avengers tests an old S.H.I.E.L.D. project in the New Avengers Facility, which consists of silver and gold arrows. This project was also present in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, being tested by an unnamed agent.
- The Sanctum Sanctorum in the All-New, All-Different Doctor Strange DLC level from LEGO Marvel's Avengers is identical to the design it had in the Stranger Danger level from LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
- An image of Professor Xavier seen in the Xavier Mansion in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes can be seen in the Earth Mightiest Heroes level of LEGO Marvel's Avengers.
- Several MCU events were mentioned in the character cards of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, such as Vision's origin.
- Similarly, the animated film LEGO Marvel Avengers: Time Twisted shows that events similar to Captain America: The First Avenger and Avengers: Age of Ultron took place on Earth-13122.
- The differences between the games could be explained by events occurring off-screen and do not constitute sufficient evidence for a separate reality:
- M.O.D.O.K. became a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. in LEGO Marvel's Avengers, but is still a villain in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.
- LEGO Marvel Super Heroes' implied that Hulk was sent to Sakaar by the Illuminati, but in LEGO Marvel's Avengers, he went on his own. Furthermore, Hulk is still on Earth in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Avengers Reassembled and the Masters of Evil DLC level, which takes place after Age Of Ultron.
- The X-Men Mansion and Baxter Building are missing from New York City in LEGO Marvel's Avengers.
- Interestingly in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 during Kang's arrival in New York, neither of the two buildings are visible, with a white building standing in place of the X-Men Mansion.
- On Daisy Johnson's character card, her mother's name is Kim Johnson, but Jiaying was later introduced in LEGO Marvel's Avengers.
- There are various connections between LEGO Marvel's Avengers and the two LEGO Marvel Super Heroes games, including:
- All of the animations are part of the same storyline.[19] Because Maximum Overload is a sequel to LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, they all take place on Earth-13122.

Arthur Parsons: "No, no, they are completely separate. So, while they are LEGO Marvel games, Super Heroes was us telling an original story, picking where we wanted to go and choosing who we wanted. Avengers was us parodying the films and giving them the LEGO twist. So, while you may have LEGO Iron Man in both, in our mind, they are completely separate. But Super Heroes 2 is a straight follow-up to the first one as this is our original story."

Arthur Parsons: "Well, it’s not a direct sequel [to “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes”], but it’s kind of the spiritual successor. It’s the same game directors, same design team, same team at TT. We see it as, like, “Let’s take everything that worked really well in ‘LEGO Marvel Super Heroes’ and then kind of add to that.” But obviously, while that game is an original story, this is more the movies’ stories in LEGO style, which is kind of where the LEGO games work best."
