"*One on one, we can each take down a villain or two, but 74... none of us can do it alone. Together we have a chance. What we did here, it can change things. The world needs us, but not as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. As a team of our own. Together, we can avenge the wrongs caused by all these villains.*"
"*We can be Avengers.*"

—Captain America and Wasp.

## History

In the early days since their formation, the Avengers encountered and fought Molecule Man, a short but difficult battle they won.

At some point in time, the Avengers split up and went their separate ways; the reason being unknown.
It's unknown who else was in the Avengers prior to the series; because when Steve Rogers took over as leader he tells the others that the Avengers were coming back, handpicked by him. Meaning that there were more members then the seven current members.
