Avengers

The Avengers are a fictional team of superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The team made its debut in The Avengers #1 (cover-dated Sept. 1963), created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby. Labeled "Earth's Mightiest Heroes", the Avengers originally consisted of Iron Man, the Wasp, the Hulk, Thor, and Hank Pym. The original Captain America was discovered trapped in ice in issue #4, and joined the group after they revived him.
The Avengers could be considered as a Lee and Kirby's renovation of a previous superhero team, All-Winners Squad, who appeared in comic books series published by Marvel Comics' predecessor Timely Comics. A rotating roster became a hallmark of the series, although one theme remained consistent: the Avengers fight "the foes no single superhero can withstand." The team, famous for its battle cry of "Avengers Assemble!", has featured humans, superhumans, mutants, Inhumans, deities, androids, aliens, legendary beings, and even former villains.
The Avengers have appeared in a wide variety of media outside of comic books, including several different animated television series and direct-to-video films. The Avengers also play a central role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) being the focus in multiple MCU feature films, beginning with the eponymous 2012 live-action film, The Avengers, and followed by the sequels Age of Ultron (2015), Infinity War (2018), and Endgame (2019), the latter two of which were based on The Infinity Gauntlet storyline. The Avengers also featured in Captain America: Civil War (2016), which drew loosely from the 2006 comics storyline "Civil War". Individual members of the team also have standalone franchises, such as Iron Man, Thor, Captain America or Ant-Man.

The inverted villains were reassembled by Steve Rogers when he noticed something was wrong with the Avengers and X-Men to assemble an effective resistance against the heroes after the other Avengers - with the exception of Spider-Man and Nova - were captured, naming the new team the Astonishing Avengers. During the subsequent fight, Carnage sacrifices himself to prevent the inverted X-Men detonating a 'gene bomb' that would have killed every non-mutant in the blast radius, with the fight concluding with the rest of the 'Astonishing Avengers' - with the exception of Sabretooth, who was protected by a shield generated by Iron Man - being returned to normal. However, the team left a video message claiming responsibility for the heroes' actions while corrupted before they returned to their own villainous ways, identifying themselves as the 'Axis of Evil', allowing the Avengers and X-Men to rebuild their reputations.

Virus placed in him by Arnim Zola. In the final stand, Odinson returned to his old allies as he recognized that Rogers had gone too far, while the Vision's daughter Viv and Brother Voodoo restored the Vision and the Witch to normal respectively.
