Plot
A battle with Ultron results in the defeat of the Avengers. With most of the team's members killed in action, the world is left at the mercy of Ultron's robotic army. Captain America tells Iron Man to take the Avengers' children to a fortified refuge hidden above the Arctic Circle so they'll be safe from Ultron. The children are James Rogers, the son of Black Widow and Captain America; Henry Pym Jr., the son of Giant-Man and Wasp; Azari, the son of Black Panther and Storm; and Torunn, the daughter of the absent Thor and Sif.
Stark secretly raises and trains the children for over twelve years. Eventually, the Vision arrives at the refuge after hiding from Ultron for over a decade. He has come to inform Stark that Clint Barton's son is alive.
While the curious children are eavesdropping on Stark and the Vision, James accidentally activates a series of Iron Man-style robots, called the Iron Avengers, that mimic the appearance and abilities of Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Panther, Thor, Black Widow and Giant Man. Because they are programmed to defeat Ultron upon activation, they take off to do so, whereupon they are detected by Ultron's worldwide sensors, revealing the location of the refuge. Ultron then reprograms the Iron Avenger robots to follow his commands, proceeds to the refuge and invades it. Stark, now suited up as Iron Man, stalls Ultron long enough for the children to escape on the Quinjet, but he is eventually subdued and captured.
The Vision has them set on a course to the Savage Land, but while the android is recharging, Pym changes their course to go to Ultra City to rescue Stark. The four young Avengers successfully fight off the city's security robots and the Iron Avengers with the assistance of Francis Barton, son of Hawkeye and Mockingbird. They decide to team up with the new Hawkeye, and his group of resistance fighters, called the Scavengers, to rescue their mentor. The four infiltrate Ultron's citadel to save Stark and discover Ultron's "trophy room", showcasing his defeat of the original Avengers and countless other heroes. The young Avengers locate Stark, but discover that they have walked into an ambush. After battling the Iron Avengers, the young Avengers and Stark manage to escape.
They, along with an older Betty Ross, head to find Bruce Banner. In an effort to submerge the Hulk, Banner has decided to hide out in the desert and keep away from other people for their own safety. After Banner refuses to help them, James comes up a plan to lure Ultron there so he can cause the Hulk to appear who will destroy the robot. Torrun recovers her sword after calling to her father for strength.
The Iron Avengers arrive and target their younger counterparts. Francis disarms Iron Hawkeye, but the robot simply makes another bow. Iron Giant Man makes Tony fall down a cliff, and James catches him. Pym battles Iron Giant Man while Azari battles the Iron Black Panther. James Rogers' energy shield device gets destroyed during the battle, so he takes the star shield from Iron Captain America. When Pym knocks down Iron Giant Man, the robot releases Iron Wasps to attack him. James tells to try to awaken the Hulk by somehow making Banner angry.
Pym escapes the Iron Wasps and apologetically starts attacking Banner, finally turns into the Hulk and defeats Iron Giant Man and the Iron Wasps. While the young Avengers finish off the Iron Avengers, Ultron attacks the Hulk and defeats him. Ultron attacks the young Avengers, nearly killing them. However, Pym revives the Hulk by making him even angrier against Ultron. The Hulk destroys Ultron, ripping him in two. Then, in a fit of rage, the Hulk begins to turn on Pym, but is subdued by Betty.
Finally, to stop Ultron from rebuilding himself, Torrun takes the two halves into space and throws away. She nearly suffocates and freezes in the process, but she is rescued when her father, Thor arrives and explains why he left her on Earth. Thor invites Torunn to join him in Asgard, but Torunn chooses instead to return to her family on Earth. As a parting gift, Thor sends her back to Earth in full Asgardian armor.
With Ultron finally defeated, the five young Avengers prepare to return to Ultra City, to deal with Ultron's remaining forces and rescue the populace.
