AVENGERS
Loki, God of Mischief from Asgard wanted revenge upon his half-brother
Thor, the God of Thunder. He decided the Hulk would be able to defeat
Thor and tricked the Hulk into looking like he nearly wrecked a train,
despite the fact he really saved it. Rick Jones, young friend of Bruce
Banner, the alter ego of the Hulk, sent out a radio signal to the
Fantastic Four, hoping they would help set things to right. The signal
was diverted, however, by Loki to Thor, but it also accidentally
reached three other heroes, Ant Man, Wasp, and Iron Man. Each of them
set out to find the Hulk arriving together and confronted the Hulk. It
was then realised that the message and the near train wreck were a
means of Loki to get Thor to battle the Hulk. Together they defeated
Loki and it was after this first adventure that Ant Man suggested the
five heroes should assemble as a team. The Wasp then suggested
they would need a good name such as the Avengers. All agreed and the
first hero team that would go on to become supported and recognised by
the U.S. government and the United Nations was born.
The Avengers original line up was:-
ANT MAN | HULK | IRON MAN | THOR | WASP
