CHARACTERS

CAPTAIN AMERICA. ROGERS, STEVE. With the aim of creating an army of enhanced troops during the Second World War, a secret US Government initiative injected Steve Rogers with an experimental super-soldier serum, granting him the peak of human strength, endurance and skill. Wearing a red, white and blue uniform and armed with a vibranium shield, Rogers fought the Axis powers as Captain America, defender of the innocent and Living Legend of the Second World War. The Avengers recovered Rogers's body, which had been frozen at the end of the war following an accident, and thawed him out, so he joined them and eventually became their leader. Following the traumatic events of A-Day, his incredible sacrifice left the Avengers devastated.

IRON MAN. Tony Stark: billionaire, genius, inventor, philanthropist. Stark became the world's greatest weapons manufacturer, but after coming close to death, he reassessed his values and realised that he could do something better with his prodigious talents. As a result, he created his innovative Iron Man armour and helped to found the Avengers, Earth's mightiest heroes, who joined together to protect the world from catastrophic threats. Following the terrible events of A-Day and the dissolution of the Avengers, grief-stricken Stark longs to return to action and redeem himself.

BLACK WIDOW. Natasha Romanoff, who was raised from an early age in the Soviet Union's ultra-secret Red Room programme, is Black Widow, a dangerous superspy who has mastered the arts of espionage, subversion and combat. Although she was trained to work as a government assassin, she eventually abandoned her first mentors and joined the Avengers to atone for the mistakes of her past, promising to use her incredible abilities and signature Widow's Bite to protect the innocent. Following the tragedy of A-Day, Natasha works undercover to help the victims of the event and clear the Avengers' name.

THOR. Legends speak of Odin's son, heir to the throne of the supernatural world of Asgard. He is the mighty Thor, the god of thunder! On Earth, alongside the Avengers, he found a second home and dedicated his life to protecting it from evil. With the help of Mjolnir, his enchanted hammer, Thor defeats any enemy that threatens his allies. Following the events of A-Day, he no longer feels worthy of Mjolnir and abandons it to lead a humble life helping the people of Earth.

THE HULK. BANNER, BRUCE. A massive dose of gamma radiation transformed Dr Bruce Banner, a brilliant and shy scientist, into the jade giant known as Hulk. When he reaches his emotional limit, Banner transforms into an immense beast controlled by rage and possessing superhuman strength, endurance and resilience. Hulk constantly struggles to control his unleashed anger, but he is a relentless companion on the battlefield. Shortly after the tragic events of A-Day, Bruce Banner permanently becomes Hulk, retires to an abandoned helicarrier in Utah and isolates himself from society.

MS. MARVEL. Kamala Khan is a highly intelligent young American of Pakistani descent with an optimistic personality. She is always looking for positive change and never hesitates to fight any injustice that stands in her way. Kamala has been a fan of the Avengers since she was a child. Aside from thinking they are incredibly cool, she admires them (especially Captain Marvel) because they represent the best that humanity can offer. On a deeper level, they inspire her to be the best version of herself. Kamala was exposed to the Terrigen cloud during A-Day, activating the dormant Inhuman genes within her and awakening her polymorphic powers and healing factor. She has spent many years hiding her abilities, but adventure will come knocking at her door in Jersey City and motivate her to become a true hero.
