Get the Aging Out mug.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.

A deep abyss of thought. Though their name means "One without destruction", they're not indestructible. They just don't hold destructive thoughts and emotions towards the people around them. They're a calm, quiet, secure presence of harmony, who hold raging storms in a canvas of blissful tranquil waves. A spiritual, emotional, visionary, political and idealistic leader. A deeply altruistic and patient, saintly, monk like wisdom. Pluralistic, fluidic, constantly in dichotomy, duality and paradoxes. Always thinking about the big picture, and philosophical harmony of the world, through practical, logistical means. One with the deepest emotional intelligence, knows you and sees into the deepest parts of you. Listens 95 percent of the time. Speaks after intense thought, with complete clarity and control of the words leaving their mouth.

He's also been in other bands such as Icarus Burning, R. U. Twin, The Clik Clik, Perfect People, Ink, and Killafornia. His talents in most bands were lead guitar/lead vocalist, but he's also done keyboard. Such hits have made him famous like Tik Tok (Parody), Jezebel, Did You Wrong, Masks, and Song. His talent is superior compared to most modern artists today and even produced for Selena Gomez's album "When The Sun Goes Down".
