Avengers
-
The Avengers is a team of superheroes, appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The team made its debut in The Avengers #1 (Sept. 1963), created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter [Jack Kirby], following the trend of super-hero teams after the success of DC Comics Justice League of America.
Labeled Earths Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers originally consisted of Iron Man, [Ant-Man], [the Wasp], Thor, and the Hulk. The original Captain America was discovered, trapped in ice (issue #4), and joined the group after they revived him. A rotating roster became a hallmark, although one theme remained consistent: the Avengers fight [the foes] no single superhero can withstand. The team, famous for its battle cry of [Avengers Assemble]!, has featured humans, mutants, robots, aliens, supernatural beings, and even former villains.
Some of the media based off the team include an animated television series titled The Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes, which ran for two seasons and received positive acclaim from fans. The 2012 live-action feature film The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon, set numerous records during its box office run, including the biggest opening debut in North America, with a weekend gross of .4 million. A second Avengers film titled Avengers: Age of [Ultron] is set for release on May 1, 2015. -
