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.
Taskmaster first exhibited his unusual ability, called "photographic reflexes," which allowed him to mimic the motion of anyone he saw, when he was a young boy.
Tarene, aware of her true nature as the Designate, a being foretold to elevate all life to greatness, sought adventure and, using Thor as a template, transformed herself into an Asgardian goddess and journeyed to Earth.
Terrance Ward was drafted into the Initiative training program because of his telepathic and shape-shifting abilities.
After brilliant scientist Henry Pym discovered a process in which he could manipulate a newly discovered group of subatomic particles through magnetic fields, he tested the serums on himself and accidentally shrunk himself to the size of an ant.
