The
Avengers Story:
The
Mightiest Heroes on Earth originally
teamed up to battle a common foe and to
deal with threats too great for any single
superhero to deal with. This superhero
team is the subject of a new movie slated
to arrive in 2012. The Avengers
were formed by Ant-Man, Wasp,
Thor,
Iron
Man,
and The Hulk (Captain
America
did not join until issue #4, although he
is considered an honorary founding
member). The team's constantly changing
roster has brought many of the Marvel
Universe heroes onboard, although the
Avenger's original goal remains
consistent: the Avengers fight the foes no
single superhero can withstand — thus
their famous battle cry, "Avengers
Assemble!" The team has included
non-powered humans, mutants, androids,
robots, gods, aliens, supernatural beings,
and even former super-villains. Avengers #
4, as re-imagined by Alex Ross.
