MCAU: The Mighty Avengers: [ Series 1: Season 1 | Superhero Epic / Action Adventure ]
The season begins on a Stark Quinjet in transit, modified to temporarily serve as a prison transfer for the immortal Norse God of Mischief and Lies, Loki, who is confined in what would regularly have been a personal room at the back of the suborbital plane. He is watched over by Thor who quietly interrogates his brother about how and why he's found himself in on Earth, the last of him that he'd seen being him falling into the Void. Loki remains silent for a moment, and asks him if he knew. Thor disregards the question, telling Loki is and always shall be his brother, and asks him once more, though Loki refuses to answer.
Meanwhile, in the front of the Quinjet, Tony Stark, donning his Iron Man suit, sits opposite Hawkeye and Black Widow. The backdrop of the Cold War thickens the atmosphere, as Tony struggles to restrain his hostility towards the Soviet spy, Black Widow. He confronts her about her past affiliations with S.H.I.E.L.D. as a former Soviet spy, his snarky comments biting with an underlying tension.
Black Widow, composed and unflinching, acknowledges her past actions but underscores her commitment to redemption. Tony, barely concealing his frustration, sarcastically alludes to her attempts to wash away the sins of Mother Russia. Hawkeye intervenes, urging Tony to ease up, reminding him that they are all here to move forward. Tony, still fixated on Black Widow, warns her about the potential repercussions of her Soviet secrets.
A flashback of the previous ninety-six hours reveals the origins of their get together, beginning with Tony's thwarting an arms trade between A.I.M. and Lucia von Bardas, he apprehends them and sends them to the Vault, a high-security super-prison, but is forced to let Bardas go on account of her being a Latverian ambassador. Meanwhile, deep within the Cube, Dr. Leonard Samson encounters the imprisoned Bruce Banner, who warns him about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s true intentions regarding the villains. Banner expresses concerns over the dangerous nature of the Cube's power.
In another part of the city, Thor stands guard over New York when he is approached by Heimdalr from Asgard. Balder informs Thor that their father, Odin, has entered the Odin Sleep and requested Thor's return to Asgard to protect it during his absence. However, Thor explains his commitment to making a difference on Earth and declines Baldr's request. Meanwhile, Jane Foster, a compassionate mortal, tends to accident victims nearby. Thor intervenes and saves her from a speeding car, impressed by her bravery.
Simultaneously, Hank Pym investigates the Mad Thinker's cryptic reference to the imminent release of the villains from the super prisons. Wasp, on the other hand, declines Maria Hill's invitation to join S.H.I.E.L.D., preferring her independent role.
Bruce Banner continues to caution Leonard Samson about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s true motives, while Hawkeye remains incarcerated in the Vault, continuing to do his part in an ongoing investigation but appearing to all the world as having committed an act of treason. Suddenly, all the security systems in the super prisons malfunction, allowing the 74 supervillains to escape. Hawkeye confronts the villains within the Vault, but Iron Man arrives to assist. Outnumbered, Iron Man decides to self-destruct the Vault to prevent further escapes. Radiation-based villains from the Cube break free, and Samson is exposed to gamma radiation during an encounter with Zzzax, triggering his transformation into the Hulk. The Hulk and Samson escape, with the villains unable to pursue them. Meanwhile, the prisoners from the Pym-particle shrunken Big House are freed, causing chaos and resulting in the Helicarrier crashing into the Hudson River. Nick Fury realizes that the fourth prison, the Raft, is likely experiencing a similar situation.
A flashback reveals that nearly forty years ago, the Strategic Reserve, the precursor S.H.I.E.L.D., located Loki in the Scandinavian wilds in the midst of WWII, where a cataclysmic battle had taken place between him and the servants of the Dark Elf Malekith the Accursed. Despite being weakened, Loki was captured at great cost with the sword Gram by his side. Believing him to be of alien origin, they confined in an unconscious state within the newly built Vault to study his origins.
In the present, as the mass prison deactivation occurs, Loki awakens within the underwater prison known as the Raft. He is initially disoriented, unaware of his surroundings. Loki demands answers, and Baron Zemo informs him about his captivity and the passage of time. Enraged by the revelation, Loki sets his sights on Fury, vowing to exact revenge for the years stolen from him. Loki seemingly destroys Fury, only to discover it was a robotic decoy. Iron Man's armor sustains damage, and he sends a distress signal for a replacement suit.
Thor, Hank Pym, and Wasp engage in a battle with Loki, who starts to demonstrate his formidable powers of illusion and sorcery. Loki creates a grand illusion, making it appear as if the Avengers are fighting against each other. The illusions are incredibly convincing, except for Thor, who, with great difficulty, is able to see through them partially. Thor becomes the only one fully capable of distinguishing reality from illusion. As the battle intensifies, Thor tries to guide his fellow Avengers, urging them to trust their instincts and not be deceived by Loki's tricks. The Hulk, in his brutish rage, manages to break free from the illusions and joins Thor in the fight against Loki.
Despite Loki's illusions, Thor and the Hulk manage to weaken him, forcing him to reveal his true, emaciated form. With Loki's power diminished, the other Avengers start to regain their senses and join the fight. Together, the Avengers overpower Loki, and Wasp delivers the final blow with her venomous sting.
Caught up now to the present, when the team returns back to Stark Mansion, Tony, recognizing the need for a united front against the remaining 74 escaped supervillains, convinces the heroes form the Avengers, an alliance dedicated to capturing the villains and protecting humanity from threats beyond any individual hero's capabilities. Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Wasp, Ant-Man, Hawkeye and now with the addition of the reformed Black Widow, become the Mighty Avengers, ready to face any challenge that comes their way.
After the initial confrontation with Loki, the Avengers find themselves on a relentless mission to track down and apprehend the remaining escaped prisoners. These prisoners consist of various formidable Marvel supervillains, each posing a unique threat to the world. As they pursue their targets, the Avengers discover that AIM (Advanced Idea Mechanics) is orchestrating the chaos, emerging as the major antagonists of the season.
A/N: Basically, Avengers: EMH, but with elements of other variants. Loki's involvement will become clearer throughout the Phase, and explored more in depth in his show, but for right now understand: Gorr was right.
Wanted to discuss what the major narrative arc is for MCAU Phase One, which is ostensibly to introduce the audience not only to the setting, but the parts of its history that inform the oncoming storm. However, due to the fact that Phase One is such a massive undertaking, and not wanting to oversaturate the market, once the major story arc for Infinity War is completed, the series will go for a temporary hiatus for a period of five to eight years so that we don't burn out the audience [like Disney has done OTL]. After the hiatus wraps up, Phase II would focus on the next generation of heroes, with any loss in retention being recouped from next generation audience members.
Unsure of what I'd like Phase II to cover as of yet, though I am preferential to something...Cosmic, something that spirals out of the Kree-Skrull War and their associated storylines, maybe even a more accurate version of Secret Invasion. Definitely World War Hulk.

Together, they pool their resources and knowledge to gather crucial information about AIM's plans, pushing the boundaries of trust and testing the limits of their newfound unity, mostly on Hulk's part as one and all are former enemies of his, with the loudest voice among them being former Gen. Thunderbolt Ross. The Hulk, still harboring deep scars from his past battles and struggling with his own inner turmoil, is skeptical of the villains' sudden change of heart.

The Avengers must utilize their unique abilities, teamwork, and strategic thinking to overcome the overwhelming odds and emerge victorious. Following the climactic battle, the Avengers face the aftermath of their showdown with AIM. They reflect on the sacrifices made, the lives lost, and the impact of their actions on the world. The team comes together to heal wounds, rebuild trust, and reconcile with former enemies who have chosen the path of redemption. They reaffirm their commitment to protect the world and vow to remain vigilant against future threats.
But Hulk's fears had proven true, as once AIM had been defeated the Thunderbolts do everything in their power to capture Hulk, and are only stopped by the intervention of the rest of the team. Hulk, angered and disappointed that he can't be left alone, flees northward.
Post-Credits: A battle between Hulk and Soviet forces, led by Crimson Dynamo, cracks open the Arctic ice, revealing to the audience the site of Captain America's crash.
