- "With that kind of firepower, I don't know that there's a person on Earth who could stop him."
"Not one person won't be alone, but a team. Made up of the best our little planet has to offer." - ―Howard Stark and Peggy Carter[src]
The Avengers are a group of extraordinary individuals, with either superpowers or other special characteristics, assembled by S.H.I.E.L.D. in response towards Ego and Peter Quill's attempt to terraform Earth.
History[]
Assembled[]
The Avengers are assembled by S.H.I.E.L.D.
- "We got a Cat Man. Space Broad, Giant Man. Silent But Deadly. Good to see you."
"And you're gonna be the crusty guy." - ―Ant-Man and Wendy Lawson[src]
As a response to Peter Quill landing on Earth, S.H.I.E.L.D. formed a team of enhanced individuals to prevent him from causing any more destruction. Ant-Man, Goliath, Black Panther, Winter Soldier, and Mar-Vell were gathered at a S.H.I.E.L.D. base, where Peggy Carter and Howard Stark explained the situation to them.[1]
Skirmish at Coney Island[]
The Avengers face off against Peter Quill
- "I have eyes on the target. He appears to be enjoying himself on this tilt-a-whirl."
"If you can isolate the kid, you should be able to trap him in the photon grid."
"You cover the trap. I'll handle the boy." - ―Black Panther, Mar-Vell and Ant-Man[src]
The team flew to Coney Island in the Asis and prepared to execute their ambush on Peter Quill. As the team discussed their plan, Mar-Vell arrived at the ship Quill landed in so she could secure it. Ant-Man made his approach on Quill, directing him towards Black Panther, who attempted to trap him. Quill attacked, so Goliath tried to contain him, only for him to escape. Winter Soldier went to shoot Quill from the Asis, but Mar-Vell warned him that if the Tesseract was hit it could be disastrous, so he stood down. The team retreated back to the ship when Thor arrived and defeated Quill.[1]
Team Meeting[]
The Avengers discuss their next action
- "This is taking too long. I will find the boy and destroy him and the seedling myself."
"Hey, Lightning Boy, we kind of have a team thing going on here." - ―Thor and Howard Stark[src]
Thor joined the team back to the base, where Peter Quill was locked up. Thor explained Ego's Expansion to the team, revealing the seedling, which he informed them could only be destroyed by a being of celestial origin. While discussing what to do with Quill, they discovered that he had escaped with the help of Hope van Dyne. The team questioned van Dyne, who explained that it was Quill's father that was the threat, and that they needed to help Quill.[1]
Battle of Mojave Desert[]
The Avengers prepare to fight against Ego
- "We'll hold them off for as long as we can, but Ego's forces are coming."
- ―Peggy Carter[src]
Ego arrived on Earth looking for his seedling, so Goliath, Black Panther, and Thor confronted him in the Mojave Desert while Ant-Man and Mar-Vell flew to Peter Quill's location to get him to help. Winter Soldier secretly also went to Quill's location and planned to kill him, but he ultimately decided to spare the child. Quill was rushed to the Mojave Desert as the team were becoming overwhelmed by Ego. Quill was able to defeat Ego, saving Earth from being destroyed.[1]
Victory Celebration[]
Thor gives the Avengers their next mission
To celebrate their victory, the team gathered at Ant-Man's house. Howard Stark revealed that Winter Soldier had disappeared, but believed that he was now free. The team had dinner together where Thor revealed that Ego was still alive and he was leaving to defeat him. Ant-Man reminded Thor that they were now a team, so Thor invited them to join him in his mission against Ego.[1]

He then saw the television and the destruction in Manhattan and decided to go to the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility to help form a team and take down a young, powerful kid named Peter Quill. The newly formed team took on Quill and defeated him, containing Quill until Pym's daughter, Hope van Dyne broke Quill out out of pity. However, the act of kindness turned Quill as he decided to help them defeat Ego. During the Battle of Mojave Desert, the group defeated Ego's corporeal form. They celebrated at the Pym Residence as Pym decided to take Quill into his family. The Avengers then went off to defeat Ego once and for all.

Behind the Scenes[]
- This iteration of the Avengers was created with the intention of choosing a team which could deliver an emotional story in an episode requested by Brad Winderbaum centered around Peter Quill being delivered to Ego. A.C. Bradley suggested including Hope van Dyne, as both she and Quill were dealing with the loss of their respective mothers. Matthew Chauncey, who made the rest of the team, said that the rest of the characters were easy decisions following Quill and van Dyne.[2]
