And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth’s Mightiest Heroes found themselves united against a common threat! On that day, the Avengers were born, to fight the foes no single super hero could withstand!
THE AVENGERS! WOLVERINE, IRON MAN, SPIDER-MAN, THOR, CAPTAIN AMERICA, SPIDERWOMAN, THE PROTECTOR AND HAWKEYE ARE HAND-PICKED BY STEVE ROGERS TO LEAD THE PREMIERE AVENGERS TEAM! AFTER AN AMAZING POWER-PLAY FOR CONTROL OF THE CRIMINAL EMPIRES OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE, PARKER ROBBINS, A.K.A. THE HOOD, WAS DEPOWERED AND IMPRISONED BY THE AVENGERS. LONGTIME HULK NEMESIS GENERAL THUNDERBOLT ROSS WAS IRRADIATED AND TRANSFORMED INTO THE RED HULK. NO ONE KNOWS WHO HE REALLY IS OR WHAT HE PLANS TO DO NEXT. FORMER AVENGER WONDER MAN HAS TAKEN A SURPRISINGLY ANTI-AVENGERS STANCE AND HAS GONE SO FAR AS TO ATTACK THEM.
