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.
British-born Mortimer Toynbee, abandoned by his parents so early in childhood that he cannot remember them, was placed in an orphanage where the other children, who regarded him as a freak due to his ugliness, his unusual physique and his leaping ability, continually tormented him.
