* Battle

**Argo "James" Harper** (born December 9th, 1997) is a Supreme Elemental and a Founding Member of the Avengers, a team of heroes that assemble on a regular basis to fight battles that people and most government agencies, secret or public, cannot fight. He is the son of the late Daniel and Amanda Harper. He is the older brother of his late brother William Harper and the boyfriend of Willow Adams.

Argo's parents were murdered when he was 15 by Luke Castellan, who was under the influence of the Titan god Kronos. Luke invaded the Harper's home, brutally murdered Argo's parents, then consumed William, the unborn baby brother of Argo. At the time, Argo was being tutored by Lon Scot, having just discovered his Elemental powers. It was also at this time Argo met Maxwell Jones, an expert in swordsmanship and battle. While Argo did have a surviving aunt, he decided to hunt down the man who killed his family. Before the search could begin, Lon was called in by S.H.I.E.L.D. to help with an ongoing case. Max and Argo tagged along and soon met Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury debriefed the trio on an incident regarding an ancient device known as the Tesseract and how it had fallen into the hands of a god named Loki, the same from the Norse myths.

Fury asked Lon to join in the fight, to which Lon agreed to help his old friend and partner. As they navigated a Helicarrier into New York, Fury led a manhunt for Loki. The team included the newly formed "Avengers," a group of extraordinary individuals, with either superpowers or other special characteristics and abilities. The team included billionaire Tony Stark (Iron Man), World War II hero Steve Rogers (Captain America), spy and assassin Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), scientist and brute Bruce Banner (The Incredible Hulk), S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Clint Barton (Hawkeye), and the Norse god of thunder, Thor. Joining them would be Max, Lon, and Argo. Loki opened a portal to deep space and unleashed the alien race of the Chitauri onto the city. The heroes fought as well as they could, but Stark, Rogers, and Romanoff were overpowered and killed in action. Argo sustained heavy damage and Banner disappeared, but it was presumed he had died. Despite the loss and tragedy that befell the city, the heroes did win. It was after that that Argo decided to request Max's help and the two would reform the Avengers, making them stronger and better to help protect the threats that were inevitable.

## Relationships

### Founders

##### Willow Adams

    Willow Adams is a Founding Avenger and girlfriend of Argo. The two started dating shortly after the battle with Kronos. Due to Argo's busy schedule and social awkwardness, Willow is typically the most outgoing of the two, dragging Argo to social events and forcing him into situations he doesn't quite like. Argo saved Willow from an attack by a clan of Ales Mortem. After discovering that the same creatures killed her family, Willow grew resentful of Argo, believing there was more he could have done. However, Max Jones explained Argo's past and Willow soon realized how similar the two were. Although Argo doesn't remember much of his death during the Battle of Manhattan, Argo did remember Willow's voice begging for him to not go.
