Biography
"I'm bring the party to you." "I -I don't see how that's a party."

- Iron Man and Black Widow

Leviathans are gargantuan beasts used by the Chitauri during their assault on Earth as both warships and assault crafts. During the Battle of New York, the first Leviathan that arrived on Earth was initially confronted by Iron Man, who caused it follow him to where the rest of his team was. Bruce Banner then transformed into the Hulk and destroyed the Leviathan with a single punch.

Other Leviathans arrived from the dimensional portal and attacked New York City, but were countered and destroyed by the Avengers. Many more Leviathans were ready to attack, but once the Chitauri Command Center was destroyed by the nuke sent in by S.H.I.E.L.D. that Iron Man diverted through the portal, every Chitauri, Leviathans included, fell to the ground and died.
