A man named Robert Reynolds was one of the first superheroes but he was forgotten by the entire world because of dark side the Void. Robert tried to deal with visions of his life as a hero but he ultimately turned to alcoholism to cope. Eventually Robert found out about his past and became enraged. The Void took control of him and Nick Fury realised his Avengers Project needed to come into fruition. He had Tony Stark, a recently recovered Steve Rogers, Thor, Ant Man the new hero the Wasp and two of his agents Hawkeye and Mockingbird joined in on the fight. Steve realised that they needed to know how Robert thought so he contacted Adam Brashear who used to be a superhero in his youth to help. As things got worse Fury realised he had no choice but to unleash the Hulk which helped turn the tide of battle in the newly formed Avengers favour. The team split up but agreed that if another threat requiring all their attention was needed the Avengers would return.
