The Avengers

The Avengers is a team of superheroes in Marvel Comics, first assembled in 1963 and later adapted into a blockbuster film franchise.

The roster varies but typically includes Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk.

The name suggests vigilante justice—avenging wrongs rather than merely preventing them: Have you seen the new Avengers movie?
