Marvel Earth-7728
Description
My own take of the Marvel Universe, taking inspiration from the MCU and Comics
Entry
Earth-7728 a parallel reality of Earth-616 and Earth-199999 with its unique features like Ghost-Spider and Lady Deadpool.
After the universe’s birth, celestials, god-like architects forged galaxies which gave birth to planets, to entire solar systems. Some of these planets were filled with life. A Celestial is born from being feed knowledge from an intelligent species, they then break out of the planet, destroying it in the process. The Celestials wanted to speed up the process, so they created the Deviants. These Deviants would hunt unintelligent life in hopes for evolution to create far intelligent life. However, the Deviants went rogue and killed intelligent life too.
In response, the Celestial, Arishem created the Eternals. The Eternals are synthetic androids made up of advanced celestial technology, created at the World Forge. They went from planet to planet on the DOMO, their spacecraft. They were told that they came from a planet named Olympia and that they; Sersi, Druig, Sprite, Phastos, Ajak, Ikaris, Kingo, Makkari Gilgamesh and Thena, were chosen to be servants. They weren’t just tasked to just eliminate the Deviants, but help civilizations advance with their knowledge and technology. And they are strictly told to not attach themselves to the planet they are sent to.
Then they got to Earth around 10,000 B.C and were tasked to eliminate the Deviants from the planet. They stayed on the planet for centuries and were crowned as Earth’s first heroes. Ajak would get an odd request from Arishem when the Eternals defended Babylon from the Deviants, she was tasked to select a group of humans for experimentation. Being a loyal servant, Ajak acted accordingly and brought a handful of humans to the Celestials, Ajak’s memory would soon be wiped from doing such actions.
The Celestials played around with the human genes and altered their DNA, giving birth to the x-gene. These types of people were known as mutants. The Eternals encountered these early mutants as centuries went by and were intrigued in their abilities. Some of them were bad and tried to use their powers for malicious intent. Specially Apocalypse who stole Celestial technology that was left on earth. For numerous times, he tried wiping humanity for mutants to thrive in a survival of the fittest type of way, but was stopped by the Eternals and would later rise again every 100 years, creating a long-time rivalry.
By the time the Age of Colonization arrived, the Eternals were conflicted on what to do; To stop the humans from bringing harm to themselves, or to stay out of it as it was part of how they advance as a species. The decision broke apart the Eternals for the next 1000+ years and went their own separate ways. The Eternals were forgotten to time as they fought any Deviants left alive on their own and blended in with the people as they tried different things. They were told by Ajak to live a life they want to live.
At the end of WW1, Germany suffered humiliation and defeat. When they were rising back up to power and the Nazis took over leadership, Hydra was founded by Johann Shmidt to help Germany research and develop new weapons to retake their lost land, and later on to develop and create weapons to take over Europe. When WW2 broke out, the Allies were being beaten by the Axis Powers. Once the US entered the war in 1941 after Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese, the government founded a secret program to create a super soldier. The leader of this program was Dr. Erik Erskine who previously worked for Hydra but escaped and sought refuge in the United States.
Erskine was meant to develop a super soldier vial for Johann, but he was rushed, making the serum imperfect. And once Johann Shmidt took the serum, his body disfigured, creating the Red Skull.
Now that he’s in the States, Erskine agreed to make a perfect super soldier serum for the Allies. This project was named Project Rebirth and Erskine worked with Peggy Carter and Colonel Phillips to find suitable candidates.
Steve Rogers was selected to be the first test subject. Steve willingly volunteered if it meant getting in military to serve his country. Phillips was skeptical on having Steve be the subject because of his scrawny figure and bad health. He wanted someone stronger to have the vial, but Erskine refuse because the serum not only enhances everything on the outside, but on the inside as well. He saw it with Johann, he was bad before the taking the serum, but now he’s pure evil.
Steve was given the serum and it enhanced his physique and his character. However, there was a Hydra agent placed in the crowd who attended his transformation. He killed Erskine and stole a spare vial. He was chased down by Steve and apprehend before the assassin took his own life.
Steve had his blood taken by nurses in hopes other scientists can use it to replicate Erskine’s super soldier serum. Phillips wanted to keep Steve as a lab rat, however Peggy Carter was against it. A Senator came up to Steve and offered him a chance to serve his country. Naively, Steve took that offer. A few weeks later, Steve started to perform USO tours, encourage the public to buy war bonds to help out in the war effort for soldiers to receive munitions, supplies, etc. All while cheesy music played and there were dancers. One of those dancers was Sersi under an alias, Florence, who was really interested in him, using her charms, she tried to sleep with him, but Steve had his attention on Peggy Carter.
When she was free, she wanted to spend time with him. They went on dates together and got to know each other better. Meanwhile, The Red Skull located the tesseract, legend had it that the tesseract was part of Odin’s treasures and hidden in Norway. He lended the cube to Arnim Zola who used it to create weapons and as an unlimited power source.
Steve went to Italy in 1943 to encourage soldiers. But, it didn’t go well for him, he was disliked by the soldiers. Steve was approached by Sersi who tried to cheer him up. As Peggy joined, Sersi was undoubtably jealous of Peggy. Steve wanted to prove himself, that wasn’t some circus monkey, or walking propanganda. He learned of captured soldiers at a P.O.W camp. Peggy helped him with some assistance from Howard Stark.
Equipped with tactical gear and his prop triangular shield, Steve infiltrated the camp and liberated over 400 men. Steve’s actions were recognized and instead of being arrested, he was allowed to serve in the military.
With his uniform updated by Howard and given a vibranium and adimantium shield, Captain America led the Howling Commandos against the Axis Powers and Hydra who has branched off from the Nazis. Cap would make a name for himself as America’s hero that inspired a generation. Bucky Barnes would be inspired and join the military, and was put alongside Cap and the rest of the Commandos.
Later on, Cap and Bucky would be moved to a team of super powered individuals; Guillotine, Wolverine, Ms. America and Black Widow (Claire Voyant). Together, they became the Invaders.
Cap and Claire were close friends since childhood and they had a close platonic relationship. He was depressed when he learned that Claire was killed in a car accident. He was surprised to see her alive. She would be alienated from other soldiers for radiating bad aura. Claire had undoubtably made a deal with dark forces to return back to life as she possessed dark magic. Steve made sure Claire wasn’t alone, that she’s still the Claire he knows and loves. In turn, Claire taught Cap a few things about her magic and the concept of magic as a whole from what she learned and saw.
The Invaders gave the Axis and Hydra nightmares and they tried to recreate a version of them but failed. In 1944, Captain America and Wolverine stormed a Concentration Camp in Poland. They took 700+ people to an Allied base via foot. One of those people was a child named, Natalia Romanov (Later on goes to become Natasha Romanoff). Her family was killed by the Germans. She was alone and scared. Cap and Logan took care of her when they were on route to the base. Young Natalia saw Steve as like a father, and Logan as an uncle.
In 1945, the Invaders went on their last mission. They raided the Hydra base the Red Skull was in and they were picked off, one by one till it was just Cap and Wolverine left. Bucky and Claire died on that battlefield. Captain America went after the Red Skull who was fleeing on a bomber plane and he fought brutally against the Red Skull. The Skull grabbed the tesseract to use it, but, the cube seemingly erased him from reality. Cap let the tesseract fall into the arctic and he willingly went down with the plane as it had a destination for New York.
He called Peggy via coms one last time as he said his goodbye as he sacrificed himself. The plane crashed in the arctic and Cap would be frozen for almost the next 70 years. Howard Stark tried to find him but there was no luck, instead they found the tesseract in the arctic ocean. Howard kept it for the government.
As the world celebrated the end of WW2 and others were in mourning for their fallen comrades, Wolverine would go back to his regular routine; drinking at bars, becoming a lumberjack, etc. Mutants have come a long way since the B.C era. They are hated and feared for their appearance and powers. Many mutants were dragged into WW2, some volunteered in hopes to let the world know that they were not freaks and that they shouldn’t fear or hate them. But, their efforts were mostly erased from history books.
During the Cold War, many countries tried to replicate the Super Soldier program to recreate Captain America. This became known as the Weapons Plus program. And they experimented on mutants for the most part against their will to be made into the perfect weapon. Wolverine and Sabertooth were participants of the program, who were best friends. After their war crimes in the Vietnam War, Professor Thorton wanted these two to be used for the Weapon X program.
Wolverine was experimented and had his entire skeleton coated in adimantium. Previous test subjects didn’t survive, but thanks to Logan’s healing factor, he was able to survive. He escaped the facility were they were conducting the experiments and tried to recover from the torture that haunts him. He would later come back and bring the entire place down, freeing hundreds of mutants but in the end, Wolverine was shot with an adimantium bullet to the head. After healing from the wound, Wolverine’s memories were jumbled.
Another Weapons program was performed in the Soviet Union. They had created the Red Guardian, and with the help of General Dreykov, the Red Room was founded. They took girls around the globe to be experimented and tested to become perfect weapons for assassination and espionage. One of the these girls was Natasha Romanoff. She was given a super soldier serum, enhancing her reflexes, agility, stamina and speed. This went to other Black Widows and they were forced to obey General Dreykov’s orders. The Red Room had ties to Hydra, and Natasha was trained by the Winter Soldier. She was in the Red Room for her entire teenage life into adulthood. She proved to be the best Black Widow operative and was often challenged by Yelena Balova only to get humiliated. Red Guardian would be forgotten to time as they threw him in prison for life for crimes he hadn’t committed.
Meanwhile, two men renovated a mansion into an institute for learning and to serve as a sanctuary for mutants. Charles Xavier and Erik Magnus opened the Xavier Institute to teach mutants how to control their powers. They had a dream, to use their powers for good for the benefit of mankind. However, Erik abandoned that dream when humans targeted his family in Serbia. Erik saw humans as lesser beings that are violent and hateful, mutants were the future. He started creating a Brotherhood to overthrow humanity. In response, Xavier build a team with his first students; Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Storm, Beast and Iceman. This team were known as the X-Men.
The X-Men clashed against Magneto’s group and other evil mutants. While also battling against humans that wanted to exterminate their entire species. The team changed the public’s opinions about mutants for the most part and were Earth’s new first team of superheroes. The X-Men grew over the years since the late 1980s with sub-teams like X-Factor and X-Force being created. The team resides at the Xavier Institute, their home and base of operations in Westchester, New York.
While the X-Men worked for a peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants, Carol Danvers was testing a new aircraft. However, her aircraft was shot down by a Kree pilot. Carol was asked if she had the artifact, a cube like objected named the tesseract. Carol knew what they were talking about and shot the engine were the tesseract was. She was hit with its energy, giving her powers. She beat Yon-Rogg by blasting him with a large power blast, almost killing him. Carol worked on controlling her powers on her own and would need help. She came to Charles Xavier, despite not being a mutant, Charles agreed to help Carol control her powers. Carol became known as Ms. Marvel and would have ties to the government and would go out of her way to help the X-Men. However, Carol would cross paths with Rogue who was part of the Brotherhood of Mutants at the time and absorbed some of her powers, including her memory and personality. It was a permanent absorption. The Kree used this window to take Ms. Marvel.
Meanwhile, Reed Richards and Susan Storm, two scientist-graduates from Empire State University worked for NASA and the Baxter Foundation. Reed was interested in a cosmic ray storm and wanted to have an up-close inspection of it. However, his recent failed researches did not give Reed a good look to NASA. They rejected the idea of Reed taking the Excelsior-1 Rocket to investigate a cosmic ray storm. Reed took it upon himself to view it without authorization. With his girlfriend, Susan Storm, along with her brother, Johnny Storm, and Reed’s best friend from college, Ben Grimm, the 4 boarded the rocket with Ben and Johnny piloting it to the storm at a safe distance from Reed’s calculations. However, they weren’t perfect. The four got hit with cosmic radiation, altering their DNA, granting them super powers.
Reed considered them anomalies and worked on a solution to make them normal again. However, Sue had another idea. She always looked up to heroes like the X-Men, even Captain America and the Invaders. Reed was similar and was a little hesitant but his friend, Ben, was made of rocks. Ben saw himself as a monster. Eventually, when the world was endangered by Mole Man’s appearance to take over the surface world, the 4 banded together to send Master Mold to prison. They became known as the Fantastic Four, the first group of heroes known to the public without secret identities. They battled against new threats, like Red Ghost and his super apes, Impossible Man, and Doctor Doom. While also navigating space and other dimensions. The team reside at the Baxter Building, their home and base of operations in Manhattan.
Back with the X-Men, in 1989, Jean Grey had acquired a portion of the phoenix force during a rescue mission in space to save a crew of astronauts.
The Phoenix is a is one of the oldest known cosmic entities, said to predate darkness and the universe. The Phoenix Force is an immortal, indestructible, and mutable manifestation of the prime universal force of life. It is the nexus of all psionic energy which does, has, and ever will exist in all realities of the Multiverse, born of the void between states of being. Considered to be the spark that ignites creation and the flame that consumes it, the Phoenix perpetuates the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
At first Jean was okay with it. It was new found power she was learning to harness and control. However, the Phoenix was tapped into her emotions and it became corrupted. When Jean died, the Phoenix resurrected her but had taken control of Jean. This was known as the Dark Phoenix, Jean had been corrupted with the power of the Phoenix and was apprehended by the X-Men. This event caused people to begin fearing mutants again. The X-Men work their way to earn the public’s trust once again.
In 1991, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four came together to face against a serious threat that was arriving to earth, Galactus. The Devourer of Worlds’ arrival made Earth come together to defeat a threat unlike anything the two teams have faced. After the two teams exhausted themselves in beating Galactus, Mr. Fantastic Proposed to Invisible Woman. They got married and would later on have a child together, Franklin Richards. And then have another one, Valeria Richards.
Months later, the world faced yet another immense threat. This time was the rise of Apocalypse yet again. Instead of the Eternals facing him, Apocalypse was faced with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four.
Due to the rise of superhumans and mutants, Peggy Carter and Howard Stark founded S.H.I.E.L.D (Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement Logistics Division) to monitor threats and to work as a government agency to prevent terrorist attacks on United States soil. They had elite operatives like Mockingbird and Hawkeye in later years. On a mission to Budapest, Hawkeye was given a mission to kill Natasha Romanoff. Hawkeye instead offered Natasha a path of Redemption by joining S.H.I.E.L.D. Natasha took up on that offer if it meant being freed from the Red Room.
In 1999, Carol learned the truth of her real home after the Kree brainwashed her into their elite soldier against the Skrulls. She went to Earth after breaking free from a Skrull ship after being kidnapped by them to dig into her memories to locate the tesseract. She met with Nick Fury who was an agent for S.H.I.E.L.D. The Skrulls and the Kree were after Ms. Marvel and the tesseract. She had enough of being treated like an object and having aliens try to invade her home planet. With her immense power, she alone wage war on the two factions, wanting to end this war by annihilating them both. She left Fury with a receiver, that he can use to call her if it was an emergency. Carol left Earth to start her long mission.
In 2008, Tony Stark was known as the billionaire, genius, playboy and philanthropist. His company Stark Industries made weapons for whoever, as long as they get the money. These weapons fell to terrorists, shadow companies, and the government who were using it to develop better Sentinels created by Bolivar Trask. Tony would go to Afghanistan to showcase the Jericho missile. However, he was soon kidnap and saw his own weapons used on US soldiers. They were in the hands of the Ten Rings, a terrorist organization that’s been around for centuries
They kidnapped Tony to have him build the Jericho missile he showcased. His heart was replaced with a battery that kept him alive after suffering a heart attack from seeing the carnage. Ho Jinsen was his assistant and they built the first arc reactor with only a box of scraps in a cave. They worked on the missile but also worked on a plan to escape. They built the first Iron Man armor in that cave. And if it wasn’t for Jinsen’s sacrifice, Tony would’ve been dead. He avenged Jinsen by destroying the base they were held in and the weapons.
After Tony was rescued by the US military and his best friend, James Rhodes, Tony made a press conference and announced that he was shutting down his weapons manufacturing branch. The stock for Industries dropped and his friend/mentor in the company, Obadiah Stane worked on saving the company. Meanwhile, Tony was working on upgrading the Iron Man suit with his technology.
He saw on the news of the Ten Rings destroying a village. The same village Yinsen was from. He went out on his mk3 armor and set off. He destroyed the Ten Rings’ operation there and their weapons while freeing civilians. Despite his heroism, US Air Force sent out two jets on him to shoot him down. One of the jet’s wings were blown off from colliding against Iron Man. Tony went to save him when his parachute wasn’t working. Tony returned to his Mansion and repaired his armor as he went to around the globe to take back his technology.
Obadiah Stane would go to the Ten Rings and learns of Tony’s escape form that cave. He was involve in Tony’s capture and attempted murder. He wanted to take the company over and when he learned of the arc reactor and the Iron Man armor, he went to Tony himself and took the reactor and had his staff upgrade Tony’s discarded Mk1 armor he left in the desert while escaping.
With Pepper’s help, Tony was able to defeat Obadiah Stane. He was killed by the Arc Reactor generator at Stark Industries. Tony came to address the public about what happened with cards, saying that Iron Man was a bodyguard of his. However, he went against it and announced that he was Iron Man.
After the Weapon X program was shut down by Wolverine, the Weapons Plus program was still active. In late 2008, Thunderbolt Ross was determined to have someone crack Erskine’s super soldier formula. He had Bruce Banner try to develop one, using gamma radiation and test it on himself. However, Bruce transformed into a monster, known as the Hulk. The Hulk was hunted by Ross and the military.
They had Wolverine, Absorbing Man and Titania try to apprehend him, but to no avail. General Ross resulted in giving Emil Blondsky a super soldier formula invented by Samuel Sterns along with exposure to gamma radiation. It created the Abomination. Instead of following orders, the Abomination went rogue in order to find and eliminate the Hulk. Bruce made a deal with the Hulk, to use their power to be a hero rather than a rampaging monster, for Betty, the woman both personas love. The Hulk, after falling from a helicopter to the streets of Harlem rose and battled the Abomination on those streets. After the fight, the Abomination was thrown in custody and Hulk was seen as a hero, a little bit. Hulk worked to make the public see him as a hero.
In 2011, Asgard, the realm of the gods, was getting ready to have a new king. All-father Odin has been ruling Asgard for centuries. But, even gods get old and need to retire. Thor was selected by his father to become the next king. However, the ceremony was disrupted by the Frost Giants trying to steal back the casket of Ancient Winters. They were executed by Odin. Thor proposed to declare war on Jotunhiem, the home world of the Frost Giants. Odin went against it and had to halt Thor’s crowning as king of Asgard.
Enraged, Thor went against his father. He and the Warriors Three, alongside his sister, Lady Loki went to the Bifrost, a gateway that allows access to any of Nine Realms, and convinced Heimdall to open a gateway to Jotunhiem. Once there, Thor went to Laufey and asked some questions about the group of Frost Giants that infiltrated Asgard. He received an answer, tat there was a traitor in the house of Odin. Thor was pissed at Laufey’s bold claim and attacked. The fight was put to a stop once Odin arrived. He cursed Thor once they went back to Asgard and took his power and put an enchantment on Thor’s weapon, Mjolnir:
“To whoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.”
Thor was exiled to Thor, alongside Mjolnir. He landed on Midgard/Earth. Odin wanted Thor to learn humility and compassion in contrast to his reckless and arrogant attitude.
Meanwhile, Lady Loki had plans to take over Asgard and was seething Thor got elected because her brother was the eldest. But, something happened on Jotunhiem. Frost Giants are known to give you frost bite if they so much as touch you. However, when Lady Loki was grabbed by a Frost Giant, her skin turned blue like theirs for a minute.
When she grabbed the casket of Ancient Winters, she learned of her true origins. She was a Frost Giant. Lady Loki demanded the truth from Odin and reveals that amidst the end of the Asgardian-Jotunhiem war, Laufey had a baby abandoned amidst the cold battlefield of Jouthiem, that was her. She was the heir of Laufey. Lady Loki was enraged, believing that this was the sole reason why she wasn’t crowned as the next ruler. Her rage unexpectedly put her father in the Odin sleep. Lady Loki took this opportunity to be the queen of Asgard. She had the Frost Giants and Laufey enter Asgard after freezing Heimdall with the Casket of Ancient Winters. The Frost Giants took this opportunity to assassinate Odin. However, Lady Loki set them up and eliminated them, including her father, Laufey.
As for Thor, he struggled getting around Earth. He was a regular mortal and had run into Jane Foster, Darcy Lewis and Erik Selvig. He went under the name of Donald Blake and tried to locate Mjolnir, and it made Erik, Jane and Darcy think he was a crazy man.
Mjolnir landed in a remote area within New Mexico. It drew the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D who built a base around it to investigate its origin. Thor breached into the base and tried to lift his hammer, but he was unworthy. Thor was put in custody and questioned by Phil Coulson. During a break, Lady Loki visited her brother through magic and lied to him, saying that their father had died and that Frigga, their mother doesn’t want him back. Thor apoligized and mourned and settled with the idea of being on Earth.
He grew to love Jane Foster and learned humility and compassion. Meanwhile, Lady Loki sent out the Destroyer to kill her brother. At that time, Thor was visited by the Warriors Three and Lady Sif, telling Thor that he’s needed on Asgard and that his father lives. The Destroyer arrived to New Mexico and began to destroy the town where Thor was. Thor regain his power and worth and destroyed the Destroyer. He went back to Asgard and fought his sister. Unfortunately, Lady Loki had put Odin’s spear into the Bifrost and froze it with the Casket of Ancient Winters. As a result, it turned the Birost bridge into a weapon that began to lay waste to Jotunhiem. Thor had to destroy the bridge connecting Asgard to the Bifrost. Lady Loki tried to stop Thor but failed. Thor caught her sister before she fell into the void of space. However, she didn’t want to be saved and fell into the abyss of space.
Back on Earth, Jane was dishearten that Thor hasn’t come back. She moved on with her life as a researcher and scientist. She was hired by S.H.I.E.L.D in the end.
Meanwhile, in the East Coast of the United State, the brilliant but obsessive biophysicist Dr. Henry “Hank” Pym had discovered a set of of rare subatomic particles, Pym particles (named after himself). He knew the risks and potential it had and kept this a secret to the rest of the world. While experimenting with the particles, his wife, Janet tried to convince her husband to be a hero. Hank was hesitant because it can be dangerous, he didn’t want to put Janet in danger.
At some point, Janet was exposed to experimental Pym Particles that gave her organic wings and the ability to shrink and grow at will. Hank wanted to cure her, however, Janet took this opportunity to be a hero like the Fantastic Four or Iron Man. Hank gave in to his wife’s heroism and the two became Ant-Man and the Wasp. They across A.I.M and Hydra who tried to steal the Pym tech. Often clashing heads with Viper, M.O.D.O.K and some members of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
In 2012, the X-Men went to the Arctic to investigate a location where Mr. Sinister is conducting experiments and plans. The X-Men wanted to prevent a disaster from occurring after learning that Jean was cloned. After taking revenge on Mr. Sinister, the X-Men found something that was oddly familiar to Wolverine. A bomber plane he felt like he saw before. The team investigated and what they found was the frozen Captain America in a block of ice. The X-Men took him to S.H.I.E.L.D where he would be defrosted. Captain America woke up and found out that he was in stasis for 70 years and was in a new world. One he didn’t recognize.
Cap went on to become a S.H.I.E.L.D agent, not like he had much choice. He struggled with modern society and hid all his troubles behind his work. He was a workaholic that didn’t take much breaks. In one of his missions, Steve was tasked to protect M.O.D.O.K from a group of assassins that are targeting him, known as the Serpent Society. Diamondback was part of this group and had a strong liking to Cap when she first encountered him during battle. Eventually, they went out on a date together. It got Diamondback in trouble with the Serpent Society who was run by Viper after overthrowing Cobra. Before she was killed, Asp and Black Mamba got the help of Captain America to save their friend. The Serpent Society fell apart after the battle and Diamondback, Asp and Black Mamba became a trio of anti-heroes, establishing B.A.D Girls Inc. to perform mercenary work.
A week later, Lady Loki returned. She has survived her fall into the abyss of space by Thanos and his right-hand, the Other. They offered her a deal of revenge on her brother in exchange of getting the tesseract. She was handed a scepter housing the mind stone to lead the Chatauri army. If she fails, there’ll be deadly consequences from Thanos.
Lady Loki infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D’s project with the tesseract, Project Pegasus. She controlled the minds of the guards present and took the tesseract with her. Nick Fury acted by assembling a new group of heroes. Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Ant-Man and the Wasp were gathered to work together and find Lady Loki. They found and apprehend her in Germany. And while taking her back to the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier, Thor arrived back on Earth through a secret passage and took Lady Loki with him. The group was unfamiliar with Thor and saw him as a threat, Iron Man went to ask him questions by fighting him. Captain America broke up the fight and Thor realized they were on the same side.
However, while on the Helicarrier, Lady Loki used her magic to unleash chaos by freeing all the villains on the Helicarrier from S.H.I.E.L.D custody. She broke out with their help and the Avengers were having a hard time working together, and the energy the scepter emitted enhanced that and it made Bruce turn into the Hulk and go out of control. When their villains broke out of custody, they decided to work together as team because they had a thing in common, they were heroes who protected lives. They worried about the escapists later, they prioritized in capturing Lady Loki. They found her at Stark Tower in Manhattan with a machine Erik Selvig built under her influence.
Iron Man had a chat with Lady Loki at the tower. Lady Loki felt powerful and victorious having broken up the group. Lady Loki however couldn’t control Tony, because he has arc reactor for a heart. Instead she threw him out the window but his latest armor at the time, the mk8 came in to save him in time.
Captain America, Wasp and Ant-Man arrived to New York just when a portal was opened above Stark Tower. The four present Avengers battled against the Chatauri invading New York. Thor soon arrived and battled her sister again. The Fantastic Four and the X-Men were absent at the time, they were off-world, encountering the Shi’ar Empire. As for Hawkeye and Black Widow, they were deployed to other parts of New York combatting the Chatauri and rescuing civilians.
The team had some difficulty against the Chatauri. They regrouped on the overpass just outside of Stark Tower where Hulk rejoined them. On that very site, Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Wasp, Ant-Man and Thor came together as the founding members of the Avengers. Captain America came up with a plan to contain the Chatauri invasion and to close the portal. The World Security Council wanted the city nuked to end the invasion, however, Nick Fury did his best to delay the strike and tried to cancel it.
However, a nuclear strike was sent to New York. Iron Man was notified and went to intercept it. He grabbed the nuke and redirected it into the portal. Iron Man saw their mothership in deep space. His armor lost power and fell back into the portal as he passed out from shock and lack of oxygen. The Mothership was destroyed, resulting in the killing of all Chatauri units in the city. Wasp closed the portal with Lady Loki’s scepter after she got humiliated by Hulk by slamming her body to the ground repeatably on the penthouse floor of Stark Tower.
After Hulk caught Iron Man and brought him back down safely, Tony proposed to have shawarma as a team. Only after arresting Lady Loki they went out in their bloodied and damage uniform for food.
The Avengers were praised for their heroic deeds by the public and media. For a while they were associated with the government for the most part. The Avengers soon gave their attention to arrest their foes that broke out of the Helicarrier. All while Tony Stark remodeled Stark Tower to Avengers Tower
After Lady Loki was charged for her crimes on Midgard and thrown into an Asgardian prison. Jane Foster in the meantime was investigating anomalies occuring around the world, rifts that theoretically leads to other realms. This was an event known as the convergence where rifts to any of the nine realms align. Jane was caught into one and was taken to the depths of Asgard where she discovered the Aether, a weapon nearly used by Malekith and the Dark Elves to plunge the universe into eternal war, taken by Odin’s father, Borr.
The Aether stuck itself inside Jane, and once she was back on earth, the Dark Elves, who were dormant for centuries woke up and went to find the Aether. Thor learned of Jane’s condition and took her to Asgard for treatment. However, Asgard was attacked by the Dark Elves. Lady Loki who was still in her cell guided a Dark Elf brute to where Jane was, alone. However, her foster Frigga was there. Frigga was the only person within the family, Lady Loki didn’t completely hate and she died because of her.
Thor and Lady Loki, including Odin grieved for her. Thor conducted a plan to free the Aether from Jane while also having an opening to kill Malekith and destroy the Aether. With the help of the Warriors Three, Lady Sif, and Lady Loki, Thor and Jane managed to get to Svartalfheim, the home of the Dark Elves. Their plan was for Lady Loki to seemingly betray Thor and offer Jane as a gift for a deal. However, it was a trap for Malekith. After she took the Aether from Jane, Thor used his hammer to destroy it. However, the Aether rebuilt itself and entered Malekith’s body. Lady Loki ended up dying (again) as a result. It was very real for Thor, but it was an illusion. Lady Loki used this opportunity to escape.
Thor and Jane made it back to Earth and with the help of Darcy and Erik, they defeat Malekith in the United Kingdom, where Malekith planned to use the Aether during the convergence to wage all nine realms into war. Malekith was seemingly killed after he and his ship got teleported back to Svartalfheim where the ship crushed him.
In 2014, Genosha was previously a trap to lure mutants and use them for slavery. The Island would soon turn into the first nation for mutantkind. Magneto would turn into an anti-hero and focus on the safety and sanctuary of mutants like he did before. After Xavier passed away from brain cancer, Magneto terraformed Genosha into a mutant nation. The X-Men changed their ways, they fought for mutants’ survival, not a peaceful coexistence. Unfortunately, their island nation was attacked by a Master Mold, who mass produced sentinels to attack and kill thousands of mutants. One of the X-Men’s members, Gambit was killed by the Master Mold but he sacrificed himself by using his powers to destroy it.
Rogue was enraged and in grief. She went on a rampage across the country to locate Herny Gyrich, who was in control of Bolivar Trask’s sentinels. Her actions got her a visit from Captain America. Rogue responded to Cap’s reasoning with hostility. Cap was willing to help her and locate Gyrich for her and the X-Men. Usually Cap follows orders and would wait for the government to give him the green light for him and the other Avengers to act, but not this time. Captain America went to New Mexico with Rogue and the other X-Men to confront Henry Gyrich who turned out to be mind controlled by Cassandra Nova who wanted to start a war between humans and mutants like Magneto wanted before. After her defeat, Rogue wasn’t allowed to kill her. Cassandra was thrown into custody instead.
Months later, Captain America became part of S.H.I.E.L.D’s Strike team with Black Widow. The duo would find out that S.H.I.E.L.D had been compromised by Hydra for years and after making such discovery, they were marked as fugitives. With the help of Diamondback, Maria Hill, Nick Fury and Falcon, the group defeated Hydra at the cost of crippling S.H.I.E.L.D by leaking all info to the internet and destroying Project Insight’s next-gen Helicarriers. Steve learned about Natasha’s true past, she was the same girl he and Wolverine saved from that Concentration Camp all those years ago. Much of her past was revealed to the public, including her work in the Red Room.
There was another threat during all of this. The Winter Soldier, an elite Hydra assassin was sent to eliminate Captain America and his crew to prevent them from foiling Hydra’s plans. Turns out the Winter Soldier was Steve’s friend from the war, Bucky Barnes. Cap did his best to get him back in his right mind and break the brainwashing. He believes he got through to him after falling into the lake and being rescued by Diamondback.
After the events, the Avengers became a full-fledge private organization without the Government’s oversight. Due to S.H.I.E.L.D’s destruction, Black Widow and Hawkeye joined the Avengers.
A year later, two mutants, labeled as terrorists had enough of their father’s neglect and obsession to make mutants the dominant species on Earth. They left and sought redemption. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver would go to the Fantastic Four, but they were rejected. They didn’t want to join the X-Men because they had enough of mutant affairs. So, there was one last team left, the Avengers.
The Avengers had been labeled as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and became a close team by 2015. They were having a battle against the Kree and were losing, the Kree under Ronan’s command were ruthless. Captain America was nearly killed by Ronan. If Scarlet Witch hadn’t stepped in, he would’ve died. She and her brother helped the Avengers in hopes by helping them, they’ll allow them on their team. It wasn’t until Nick Fury used the receiver Ms. Marvel gave him back in the 90s to call her in case of an emergency.
Carol was alerted and sped her way back to Earth. She was now known as Captain Marvel. When she got to Earth, she helped the Avengers defeat the Kree and Ronan. After the fight, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver joined the Avengers.
Having the Maximoff twins to a hit to the Avengers’ reputation. However, Captain America stated that if it weren’t for them, he’d be dead and that they proved their heroism by helping them. Captain America became their mentor, and despite Wanda and Pietro being somewhat difficult working with them, they trusted Cap more than anyone they ever came across when they saw how genuine he is with no ulterior motive. Steve is a strong supporter of mutants and his actions in the past made him a trusted friend and ally.
Viper and a group of villains; Baron Zemo, The Leader, Enchantress, Minerva, Abomination, and Arnim Zola collectively came together as the Masters of Evil, to kill the Avengers. But, not without making one of Hydra’s greatest opponents suffer. The Avengers were kidnapped apart from Scarlet Witch and Captain America. They were led to an old Hydra base in Norway. The very base Cap’s old team, the Invaders got killed and where he chased down the Red Skull back in World War 2. It triggered some of his PTSD being in that base again, losing Claire. Despite Wanda saying they should retreat, Cap didn’t. When she asked why did he come, Steve responded that she’ll get herself killed, and the real reason. Steve never opened up about this mission till it came to Wanda. He wasn’t willing to wait for either the X-Men or Fantastic Four to answer his call at the risk of his friends’ lives. He felt like he failed his previous team, specially Claire despite planning. He wasn’t going to let them die, he lost too many friends on the war and while being frozen, he lost his time and felt out of place in the world.
Wanda’s view on him changed and despite her lack of experience, she wanted to help him. Mainly because she wanted him to live and not die while saving the Avengers. Cap took her help, and her tone and determination to save the team, and her brother sounded a lot like Claire Voyant when she wanted to help people like he does during the war despite being treated like a demon by the Allied soldiers. It’s when Steve saw his childhood friend in her. The same view she looked at her powers, like a curse, and the same loneliness.
After rescuing the team, Scarlet Witch understood more about Steve Rogers. Many just see him as Captain America and his history, not the pain and trauma Steve went through. They became closer as friends.
A year later, Hank Pym and Tony Stark have finished created a new invention, Ultron. It’s purpose was to protect the planet from extraterrestrial threats. They complete it with the mind stone after retrieving Lady Loki’s Scepter from a Hydra fortress in Sokovia.
But, the AI went rogue. It saw living beings, both mutants and humans as the threat to the planet. He sought to wipe them all out and it was smart and difficult to track. Ultron ended up created Vision and Jocasta to help him in his mission. However, they turned on him. In the end, Ultron got himself a new body made out of adimantium. He planned to use the center of Sokovia as a meteor, using Wakanda’s vibranium.
It took the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and X-Men to take on Ultron. Janet Van Dyne went subatomic to destroy Ultron from the inside, knowing she’ll forever shrunk down. Janet’s sacrifice was the heroes’ victory.
After the battle was won, the Avengers moved from the Tower to a new base in Upstate New York. Tony Stark renovated an old Stark Industries warehouse into Avengers Compound. The Avengers currently live and operate there.
