[edit] Plot
The robot Ultron, wanting revenge on the superhero team the Avengers for constant defeats, places a document detailing their downfall in a time capsule. The time-travelling villain Kang the Conqueror finds the document centuries later, and having been thwarted by the Avengers himself, travels back to their time to kill the team. The old Avengers, however, have disbanded and been replaced by a less dedicated group. Kang then kills the entire team by detonating a nuclear weapon over Avengers Mansion.
With many of the old Avengers such as Captain America; Thor; Iron Man; Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch either dead or missing for years, Henry Pym reluctantly forms a another team. The unit consists of his wife the Wasp; Hawkeye and his wife Mockingbird; the mutant Cannonball; sorcerer Tommy Maximoff (son of the android Vision and the Scarlet Witch); Jessie Wingfoot (daughter of She-Hulk and Wyatt Wingfoot and two mercenaries called Hotshot and Bombshell.
Together they confront Kang - now allied with Ultron, the Grim Reaper and a creature called Oddball - and in a battle to the death many of the Avengers are murdered before finally killing all the villains. Hawkeye discovers that Captain America, who was formerly President of the United States and believed assassinated, was still alive and recuperating, and had watched the entire battle. [1]
