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 Earth's 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: Earth's 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 $207.4 million. A second Avengers film titled Avengers: Age of Ultron is set for release on May 1, 2015.

The Avengers are Earth's foremost major organization of costumed superhuman crimefighters, adventurers and heroes dedicated to safeguarding the world from any threat beyond the power of conventional peacekeeping forces or any which any of them can't handle alone. Founded several months after the incorporation of the hero team Fantastic Four, the Avengers became the first superhuman team to be granted full official government sanctions by the National Security Council of the United States, the General Assembly of the United Nations, and later by the international intelligence/law enforcement agency S.H.I.E.L.D.. Their success has resulted in various splinter-teams and spin-off teams, both nationwide and worldwide, and with different members.

Get the Avengers mug.A MOVIE EVERYONE WILL SLAP YOU IF YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE MOVIE IN PUBLIC UNTIL SIX MONTHS AFTER IT COMES OUT
Did you hear about Marshall after he left Avengers Endgame and was talking about it with his friends? Everyone who passed by kicked, punched or tripped him. Hope that taught you a lesson about spoiling movies.

Get the Avengers Endgame mug.A fairly entertaining movie, put marvel in the billion dollar mark $$$$$
It’s simple plot aside, it’s executed well and thanks to the character dynamics it does what the transformers movies wishes it did.
A movie with a heart is what the avengers (2012) IS
Nowadays there’s jokes of the cringey one liners and low stakes of mcu movies but avengers (2012) was AMAZING at the time of 2012..
Without avengers (2012) I don’t know where marvel would be tbh
A movie that shouldn’t work BUT IT DID and it sure as hell paid off, otherwise the buildup in phase 1 movies would’ve been for NOTHING
Avengers (2012) worked and will forever be regarded as one of the best marvel movies of all time
