Characters
Earth's Mightiest Heroes joined forces to take on threats that were too big for any one hero to tackle. With a roster that has included Captain America, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Hulk, Thor, Wasp and dozens more over the years, the Avengers have come to be regarded as Earth's No. 1 team.
Vowing to serve his country any way he could, young Steve Rogers took the super soldier serum to become America's one-man army. Fighting for the red, white and blue for over 60 years, Captain America is the living, breathing symbol of freedom and liberty.
When Zenn-La was threatened by the world-devouring entity known as Galactus, Norrin Radd stood up for his home planet and offered to work for Galactus, finding him new planets to eat, in exchange for saving his own. Years later, the Surfer has protected Earth and many other planets, becoming one of the greatest heroes in the universe.
Refusing to miss his opportunity, Peter Jason Quill stole a scoutship from Cape Canaveral, returned to Eve, and shot his way to the appointed spot, where his old rival Harrelson, NASA's choice to be Star-Lord, was awaiting selection, where Quill was transported away in his stead, and transformed into Star-Lord.
The Mad Titan Thanos, a melancholy, brooding individual, consumed with the concept of death, sought out personal power and increased strength, endowing himself with cybernetic implants until he became more powerful than any of his brethren.
The radiation that mutated Reed Richards, Sue Storm and Johnny Storm into superhuman beings had also mutated Ben Grimm, transforming him into a grotesque, rock-hided strongman dubbed the Thing.
Feared and hated by humans because they're different, the X-Men are heroic mutants, individuals born with special powers who've sworn to use their gifts to protect mutants as well as humans.
