What is Marvel’s Avengers?
Marvel’s Avengers is a co-operative third-person action game where you and up to three other friends can assemble as The Avengers, taking on ever-increasing threats to humanity.
Marvel’s Avengers begins at A-Day, where Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor are unveiling a hi-tech Avengers Headquarters in San Francisco — including the reveal of their own Helicarrier powered by an experimental energy source.
