Characters
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.
Seriously wounded, young lawyer Jennifer Walters was given a blood transfusion by her cousin Bruce Banner. Usually in better control of her powers and temper than the Hulk, She-Hulk has been a high profile New York lawyer as well as an upstanding member of both the Avengers and Fantastic Four.
Bitten by a radioactive spider, high school student Peter Parker gained the speed, strength and powers of a spider. Adopting the name Spider-Man, Peter hoped to start a career using his new abilities. Taught that with great power comes great responsibility, Spidey has vowed to use his powers to help people.
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.
Born with super-human senses and the power to heal from almost any wound, Wolverine was captured by a secret Canadian organization and given an unbreakable skeleton and claws. Treated like an animal, it took years for him to control himself. Now, he's a premiere member of both the X-Men and the Avengers.
