Including the "old school" guys like Cap, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man-they also bring in a variety of others from Spiderman and Wolverine, to Shang-Chi, Cannonball and Sunspot, as well as some utterly random heroes like Hyperion and Captain Marvel and Spiderwoman. Tony Stark and Captain America have a discussion about creating a new Avengers team, using a mix of old and new members. The premise being yet another refounding of the Avengers. ![]()
