After the conspiracy is foiled, Mar- Vell tries to return to Earth. On the way, he is hit by a blast of radiation that traps him in the Negative Zone.[1. The Supreme Intelligence enables Mar- Vell to telepathically contact Rick Jones, which he uses to lead Jones to a set of "nega- bands" at an abandoned Kree base. When Jones puts on the bands and strikes them together, he trades places with Mar- Vell and is encased in a protective aura in the Negative Zone.

This provides the hero with new abilities, including "cosmic awareness".[2. Thanos gains the Cube and uses it to make himself omnipotent. Thanos' spirit leaves his body, and Mar- Vell uses the opportunity to shatter the Cube, which was still in Thanos' hand. This undoes Thanos's actions.[2.

Origin. After working together to defeat Loki, a group of five founding heroes (Ant- Man, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Wasp) banded together to battle evil no single hero could defeat. The Avengers, are a team of extraordinary individuals, with special abilities and the will to do good in the world. The teams purpose is to protect the planet and its people from both domestic and extraterrestrial threats. They are a nonprofit organization privately funded by industrialist Tony Stark's Maria Stark Foundation[3] The group is recognized as a peacekeeping force by the National Security Council of the United States of America, the United Nations; Security Council[4] and S. H. I. E. L. D. The team functions with the peaceful interests of the whole world rather than a specific country or organization as stated in the Avengers Charter.[5]See Also: Expanded History. Origins. The first five founding members of the Avengers first banded together when Loki, the Asgardian God of Mischief, attempted to discredit the monstrous Hulk in order to draw his half- brother, the thunder god Thor, into battle. Loki was trapped in Asgard due to his brother's actions but still able to manipulate Midgard (Earth). Loki tricked the Hulk into destroying a railway line. The Hulk's friend Rick Jones and the Teen Brigade radioed the Fantastic Four for help, but Loki instead relayed the information to Thor to draw him out in the open.[6]The Avengers debut. However, Iron Man, the Wasp, and Ant- Man also received the radio signal unbeknownst to Loki and arrived at the scene, attempting to reason with the Green Goliath. Not falling for the trick, Thor confronted Loki and exposed his scheme to the others. Defeating Loki together, the group agreed they worked well together and should formalize the team. The Wasp suggested the name "Avengers" and a legend was born.[6]The newly formed team assembled a short time later at the midtown Manhattan mansion of industrialist Tony Stark (in reality their fellow member Iron Man). Stark soon donated the mansion to the Avengers for their exclusive use, and set up a foundation to cover all the operation expenses of the nonprofit team under his mother's name, creating the Maria Stark Foundation. The team put down a charter and by laws to govern their operations. The Stark family's trusted butler Edwin Jarvis was kept on as the principal regular domestic employee at what became known as the Avengers Mansion. The Teen Brigade became regular allies and informants to the Avengers and were in close contact.[7]Captain America. The Hulk soon proved to be uncontrollable and left the team after their fight against the Space Phantom[3] and he even teamed up with Namor the Sub- Mariner against the Avengers.[8][9] After the fight, the Avengers discovered the legendary World War II hero Captain America who had been in suspended animation, frozen in ice since just before the end of World War II.
