Description
From his Asgardian place of exile, Loki plots to draw Thor into battle with the Hulk by making it appear that the Hulk has gone on a rampage. When Rick Jones and the Teen Brigade radio the Fantastic Four for help in proving the Hulk's innocence, Loki diverts their message so that it readies Thor, unaware that it also reaches Iron Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp. All four heroes come together to search for the Hulk and thus meet for the first time. Thor, discerning Loki's hand at work, goes to confront his step-brother in Asgard, while the others locate the Hulk at a nearby circus, and a battle ensues. Defeating Loki, Thor brings him to Earth in time to halt the fight with the Hulk. At the suggestion of Ant-Man and the Wasp, the five powerful adventurers form a permanent team, calling themselves the Avengers.
