Plot
Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., learns of a plot by Doctor Doom to assemble a team of super villains in order to terrorize Earth. Fury decides to counter the threat by creating his own team of various super heroes, called the Avengers. The team consists of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Storm and Iceman amongst others. The Avengers traverse the globe, battling an array of super villains affiiated with Doom. These villains include the Lizard, Super Skrull, Red Skull, Loki, Venom, Doctor Octopus, Magneto and Abomination. As a result of these efforts, the Avengers are spread far across the planet.

Nick Fury is then horrified to discover that the entire plot is a distraction created by Doom to draw attention away from an alien invasion of New York by a race known as the Chitauri. Fury quickly recalls the Avengers, who find themselves aided by some of their old adversaries, who claim that they knew nothing of Doom's true intentions and do not wish to see Earth destroyed. The team rallies in New York to counter the Chitauri and a city wide battle ensues.

The Avengers decide to orchestrate an assault on the vortex through which the Chitauri are arriving on Earth. Doom arrives to halt the sabotage, but fails and is defeated. Suddenly, Doom's true master, Thanos, makes himself known and emerges through the wormhole. A final fight then occurs between the Avengers and Thanos, resulting in Thanos and Doom vanishing through the wormhole as it collapses, putting an end to the Chitauri invasion.

As the group celebrates, Nick Fury points out that the remaining super villains have escaped. The Avengers resolve to hunt them down as the credits roll.
