The Avengers were the brainchild of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nicholas Fury, who envisioned a team of heroes that might work together as an emergency response team in the event that a threat would prove so powerful, that no one hero could face it alone. The catalysts for this plan were the appearances of beings with personal levels of power that vastly exceeded conventional military capabilities. He named his plan the "Avengers Initiative".
 * HistoryText            = ===Avengers Dawn===

The Avengers formed gradually through circumstance and reactive planning. Fury initially considered Tony Stark for a role on the team, but discarded this idea due to Stark's unpredictable nature. The World Security Council attempted to arrange for Emil Blonsky to be assigned to the Initiative due to his military record after his transformation, intending to blame his initial rampage on the Hulk, but S.H.I.E.L.D. deliberately sabotaged the attempt to have Blonsky transferred to their custody and he remained in the hands of General Ross. Eventually the plan was scrapped altogether and Fury refocused his attention on military assets in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D. instead. Circumstance however, proved to be the guiding force that brought the disparate membership of the team together when Loki made a surprise appearance at a S.H.I.E.L.D. research facility, killed a number of soldiers, and escaped with Agent Barton and Professor Selvig under his control, taking the Tesseract with him.

Assembling the Avengers
The threat posed by the Tesseract in the hands of Loki forced Fury to reprise his earlier idea and activate a group of people with incredible capabilities. Fury called the time-displaced World War II hero, Captain America back into service, while Stark and Dr. Bruce Banner were brought in for their scientific expertise. When Loki made a public appearance, Stark (with his Iron Man armor) and Captain America rushed to intercept, accompanied by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow. The three of them confronted and captured the Asgardian, although in the effort to bring him into custody they were in turn confronted by Loki's adoptive brother, Thor. This resulted in an altercation when Thor extracted Loki, but once the men had wasted time and effort in a fruitless clash of egos, they resumed the trip together.

Once on board the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, the clashes continued, to some extent as a result of Loki's goading. Even though their agendas were largely aligned, their egos and the growing unease surrounding Fury's actions had the group in a frequent state of tension. This persisted until Loki sprang his trap and used a surprise attack from Clinton Barton, still under control, to trigger a new round of falling out within the ranks. The attack left parts of the Helicarrier in ruin, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson dead by Loki's hand before Loki himself fled. His killing of Coulson, proved to be his undoing however, because Director Fury used the incident to motivate the remaining people into action. Captain America and Iron Man wanted justice for Coulson; Barton, who had been pulled from Loki's control, simply wanted to put him down; and Romanoff had her own debts to settle. After chasing Loki to New York City they were soon joined by Thor and Banner, both of whom had fallen from the carrier in the attack. Finally, together as a team, the group calling themselves the Avengers assembled to fight off a threat that was larger than any one of them alone.

Battle of New York
The hunt for Loki became a battle for New York when Loki opened a dimensional rift above the city to a waiting Chitauri invasion forced stationed on the other side. The Chitauri attacked without hesitation, pouring through in a vast horde of ground troops with air support. The Avengers stood fast against the assault, at first confronting the attacking warriors, and then shifting focus to other prominent target objectives. Not only was there Loki and his alien army to contend with, there were also the Chitauri's leviathans, colossal flying beasts that were as much agents of destruction as they were a mode of transportation. The Avengers were split even further on more fronts dealing with the rift and the technology holding it open, not to mention a nuclear warhead that had also been deployed to the area at the behest of Earth's governments. They ultimately triumphed when Iron Man redirected the missile through the portal and into the ranks of even more invaders waiting beyond. Black Widow subsequently deactivated the portal so that the nuclear explosion was contained in the Chitauri realm, the destruction of their core ship deactivating the cybernetic Chitauri.

In the aftermath of the fight, the Avengers gathered for the departure of Thor, and his now-captive brother, back to Asgard where Loki and the Tesseract would be safely removed from humanity. When the Asgardians had gone, the remainder of the team said their good-byes and went their separate ways as well. Fury, musing on their dissolution, observed that some day the Avengers might again reassemble, confident that they would come back when needed because they would be needed.

Coming Back
The Avengers came in fact together, adding Black Panther to their ranks. Together, they fought against Baron Zemo and his Masters of Evil, Viper, leader of Hydra and A.I.M]. They eventually got to recruit the former villain Wonder Man, and Air Force pilots Ms. Marvel and War Machine.

The Maximoff Twins
After facing Mystique, the Avengers realized they were up to battling bigger threats than Loki, HYDRA or A.I.M.. Reaching out to Prof. X, leader of the X-Men, he recommended them to recruit Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver respectively. After attempting to recruit the two mutants, the Avengers battled Kang the Conqueror and the new heads of Hydra, Baron von Strucker, Grim Reaper and Arnim Zola. Following the battle, they tried recruiting them again. It started a small battle with the twins vs. Captain America and Iron Man. The twins would defeat them two and dissapear.

Lokasenna
Soon enough, Loki set Asgard under the Eternal Winter, and it was up to the Avengers and the Fantastic Four to stop him. Finally, Odin recognized the two teams as allies of Asgard.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Civil War
Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Mockingbird and the Falcon took part in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Civil War, in which it was revealed that, thanks to Arnim Zola, HYDRA had been infiltrating the organization's ranks, to the point of having infiltrated themselves in the World Security Council. Steve also faced a personal crisis during this time, as the most prominent HYDRA Assassin, the Winter Solider was in fact his childhood best friend and Invaders teammate, James "Bucky" Barnes. Sam Wilson and Captain Rogers decided to go and find him, joined by Tanner Evans. Black Widow also left for awhile to find herself a new identity after hers was made public. Not long after that, the Falcon officially joined the Avengers.

Age of Ultron
In an attempt to help Thor, Sif, Balder and Loki defeat Malekith, Hank Pym finished developing his latest project: the first Artificial Intelligence, Ultron, using his own brain pattern. While at first it seemed to work just fine, the robot turned on his creator and kidnapped his girlfriend, Janet, rendering Pym mentally unstable.

Using Wonder Man's brain pattern and a copy of J.A.R.V.I.S.' voice system, Ultron created the synthezoid Vision. After calling the Guardians of the Galaxy for help, Groot destroyed Vision, but he was rebuilt by Stark, Richards and McCoy, but given new intentions. Since their first interaction, Vision and the Scarlet Witch felt something special between them.

Once the Age of Ultron was spread to the whole world, Black Widow, Captain America and Falcon came back to New York to help their fellow Avengers. While fighting Ultron alongside his "brother" Wonder Man, Vision was destroyed by the villain. In a moment of desperation, Wanda destroyed Ultra and rebuilt Vision. The two got seperated because of Wanda's brother Quicksilver, and he would destroy Vision completely, Ultron's hostages, were set free. Hank and Janet left the team and moved to the West Coast, in hopes to help Pym rehabilitate.

The Great War
The Avengers took on the chance to teach a young avenger. The most popular and main one was Iron Mind. Iron Mind known as Jason Bournes. Iron Man took him on and at graduation time, he sided with Hydra and killed all the graduates. It caused the Avengers to come out of retirement and fight in a great big war. The Avengers lead The Legion against the villains. Later in the war, Iron Man truend bad alongside Iceman to create the Dark Avengers and Dark X-Men. The Avengers and the Dark Avengers had multiple battles and it was a tie in a 3-3 war. They persuaded Iron Man to come back but then he blasted Captain America. Captain America was injured for a while. And now, they have to retreat.
