## History

### Background

#### Origins

Following an incident where the villainous nazi organization HYDRA and Dr. Arnim Zola attacked a Stark Expo in Hong Kong, billionaire superhero Tony "Iron Man" Stark chose to build the *Global Avengers Initiative* as a peacekeeping initiative. This involved transforming a Stark facility in Orange, California in 2019 and later another Stark facility in Paris, France into "Avengers Campus"es.

#### Avengers Campus California

Avengers Campus California had various training opportunities, such as Okoye leading the Dora Milaje of Wakanda to train recruits. Doctor Strange often studied the dark magics surrounding the campus' Vishanti Sanctum which he educated recruits on, and used their assistance in warding off the sanctum from being invaded by Dormammu.

##### Mission: BREAKOUT!

Some visitors of the campus were brought there by hacked signals sent out by Rocket Raccoon, asking for help in saving him and the Guardians of the Galaxy from the Collector's Fortress which Avengers Campus was hosting. When visitors came to answer Rocket's signal, he once again escaped from his tank and met with them in the Collector's office. Rocket had them assist him by boarding the Collector's gantry lifts while he hot-wired the fortress' generator to Star-Lord's walkman, causing everything to be released while music blasted. The guardians were freed and escaped within the Milano, piloted by Guardians member Mantis.

After finally escaping Tivan, the Guardians realize that they accidentally left Groot behind. Rocket went back to the museum which was in darkness and highly dangerous due to prowling creatures. His new plan involved using trapped guests as distractions for the monsters while he found Groot. When they successfully retrieve Groot, Rocket finally left the Museum.

##### Black Panther Celebration

When Princess Shuri became the new Black Panther, a Wakandan celebration event was held in Avengers Campus. Here, M'Baku of the Jabari tribe would teach recruits in the way of his people, while a celebration garden was created to honour and mourn members of Wakanda's royal family.

#### Avengers Campus Paris

When interstellar warheads were fired at the Earth by the Kree Empire, Iron Man and Captain Marvel headed a mission to stop them in space. Iron Man was unable to assemble other Avengers to assist due to Ant-Man, Wasp, Captain America and Ms. Marvel being occupied fighting Ultron on the Disney Wish, while the Guardians of the Galaxy were occupied escaping the Collector's Fortress. Due to this, Captain Marvel encouraged Stark to assemble multiple recruits at the QG Avengers to board his, "Hypersonique" space-crafts and assist the two heroes in stopping the Kree missiles.
