Originally a benign experimental robot built by Hank Pym, Ultron rejected his creator and rebuilt himself with a nearly indestructible android body. One of the Avengers’ greatest threats is Ultron, who was actually created by an Avenger. Both Kang and Immortus have gone on to become two of the Avengers’ most powerful foes, although the two have also waged war upon each other in their never-ending bid for dominance. A short time later, Kang’s future self, Immortus, arrived and presented his own challenge to the team. During one of the team’s earliest adventures, Kang the Conqueror traveled from the far future to personally defeat the Avengers. The Avengers’ strength has always invited challenge by the forces of evil. The primary Avengers team has largely continued to maintain those ties, while the splinter groups have tended to operate under their own authority. Not even the founding members were immune, as Hank Pym/Ant-Man faced expulsion from the team he helped create.įor most of their existence, the Avengers have also operated with government oversight as the officially sanctioned heroes of the United States of America, as well as a broader mandate under S.H.I.E.L.D. When necessary, the Avengers have also held court-martials to discipline members who stepped out of line. Almost all of the founding members have taken their turn as the team’s leader, with Captain America, Iron Man, and the Wasp emerging as arguably the Avengers’ most gifted commanders. Unlike many Super Hero teams, the Avengers have largely embraced a highly structured dynamic, with a leader/chairperson who charts their collective path in battle and in peace. Iron Man, Thor, and even Hulk readily agreed, while the Wasp named the team “the Avengers.”

Before they parted ways, Ant-Man suggested that they remain together as a powerful force of good. Loki’s attempt to break free was thwarted by the assembled heroes.

Thor left the fight to confront Loki, and he returned to Earth with his brother to proclaim the Hulk’s innocence. Hulk battled the heroes to a standstill, but Thor quickly sensed his brother’s hands in these events.
