As the new millennium dawns, a new breed of hero emerges. After billionaire Tony Stark builds a suit of armor to become Iron Man, he attracts the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury. Fury’s radical “Avengers Initiative”—a last-ditch defense for Earth—grows more viable with the earthly banishment of the arrogant god Thor, the re-emergence of the monstrous Hulk, and the discovery of Steve Rogers, a WWII super-soldier frozen in time. These powerful but volatile individuals are a powder keg waiting for a spark. The spark arrives in the form of Loki, Thor’s manipulative brother. Wielding a cosmic cube of immense power called the Tesseract, Loki unleashes an alien army upon New York City. With humanity on the brink, Fury must assemble his team of clashing egos: a genius, a god, a monster, and a living legend. They are Earth’s only hope, but they must first learn to fight together before they can save it.
