Avengers (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
Overview
The Avengers represent Earth's mightiest heroes, brought together by S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury to defend humanity against catastrophic threats no single hero could handle alone. From their inception as a fractured team of ego-driven individuals to their evolution into a unified family, the team has faced alien invasions, robotic uprisings, and cosmic entities that tested the very limits of their resolve.
