Earth, 1945. Humanity was on the brink of annihilation. Sinister forces pushed to seize control of the free world, and only one man rose up to stop them. A man who sacrificed his life to save us all. History remembers him as our one and only Super-Soldier... We know him as Captain America.

When a nuclear missile was fired at Washington in 1945, Captain America managed to detonate it in the upper atmosphere. But then he fell miles into the icy depths of the North Atlantic, where he remained lost for over sixty years. But now, with the world facing the very same evil, Captain America must rise again as our last hope of survival, and lead a strong-willed team of today's superheroes:

Iron Man, the billionaire bachelor used to doing things his own way.

The Hulk, the destructive force Bruce Banner hopes to turn into a useful member of the team.

Thor, a hero who has responsibilities to both the world of man and the world of gods.

Wasp, a petite powerhouse who sees the team as a fresh start for her and her husband, otherwise known as...

Giant Man, sixty feet tall with an equally large chip on his shoulder.

And Captain America, a star-spangled idealist resurrected from a 60 year deep-freeze because this team needs a super-soldier to lead them.
