Many years ago, a young man named Steven Rodgers lived in the United States of America. The young man had to be drafted into the military due to his burning desire to serve the country in which he lived. These were troubling times, morale was low, and the people were desperate for hope. Red Skull, a superior soldier and his forces threatened a nuclear attack against the US to provoke them to war due to their attempt in stopping Red Skull from taking over Europe and eventually the world.
Due to their superior military tactics with the mind of the red skull, the United States had lost many battles against the forces of Skull. Without many options, the president and the General have decided to launch the Super Soldier initiative. This project was developed to create a serum that would be theorized to be able to create the perfect soldier. Tests have been run much before this time, before the president's knowledge of the project's existence, none have survived. None, that is, before Johnathan Banner had been placed on the project.
This scientist had an amazing mind when it came to Biochemistry and managed to create a serum that did just that. However, they had only managed to create a very small but incredibly concentrated amount. Now all they needed was a test subject that was expendable, but was loyal to the American Society. Then the General realized, he had just the kid. The small Steven Rodgers was to be chosen for such a dangerous task, and once told that he would have been helping America, the boy was all for it.
24 hours after being inserted with the Serum, Steve had been completely transformed! He was tall, strong, and fast just as the serum was designed. Unfortunately for the U.S. military, the materials that Banner used takes hundreds of years to occur naturally, which means that Steve Rodgers was the only one. Because of the dark times that lay upon the land, the people needed something, or someone to believe in. They needed the drive, and the determination to achieve victory. They needed hope.
This hope, as the president had found, would this time take the shape of a man, a savior, a hero. Put in a suit of stars and stripes, Steven Rodgers would be that hero. "Defender of all that is upright. The bringer of true freedom beyond that of just the United States but that of the world. The source of hope in a dark world. This man will be known as 'The Libertist'!" And So, Steven Rodgers had been declared a hero for America.
The newfound super soldier would fight in the war against the Red Skull, fighting against his forces and pushing them back into Germany. Seeing as his plan may have complications, Red Skull had decided to fly the explosives to the United States himself. However, his plane would be infiltrated by The Libertist flying a fighter jet to catch up with Red Skull. Once one saw the other, instant hatred filled both of the men's hearts and they fought. Their battle was long and hard but eventually the Libertist managed to provail.
However, the gigantic nuclear missile still somehow was in launch sequence. Selflessly climbing the missile as it had taken off, Steven had disarmed it. However, The Libertist had no chance of surviving. He was thousands of feet in the air in the middle of the ocean with no parachute, no way of communication. After that day, no one had ever heard from the Libertist again. America won the war, but they couldn't help but wonder what happened to the man that they had put all of their trust in? Some say that he was just a legend, that he never actually existed.
Much time passes since that exciting year, and many more people have risen to challenges that most would deem to be impossible. These would be known as heroes. Meanwhile, a secret government agency known as PROTECT was looking through the Arctic circle they found something unbelievable. The body of The Libertist suspended in frozen animation.....
Once Steven was thawed and found to be alive, America rejoiced in having their hero restored to them. Or, some of America did. Others put their faith in Thomas, or Tommy Starke aka Titanius Thomas Starke didn't find the fact that what people called, "America's True hero" was back to steal his thunder as just not too long ago, He was referred to as the same. Thomas Starke was known to be none other than Titanius, a genius who wore a nigh indestructible suit of armor that could fly and produce lazers from its hands. He had also been known tomuse the suit to perform great feats of strength and has proven that if given the determination, he could accomplish anything that he put his mind to.
Just from meeting one another for the first time, they knew that they would become some of the most competitive of rivals. Meanwhile a secret organization known as the Aqua Syndicate would do some of their own searching to find that the Libertist wasn't the only one to have been suspended in ice for all these years. Once brought to the light that Red Skull had indeed returned, the Libertist quickly attempted to take him out despite the efforts of PROTECT to stop him as he was still the perfect soldier, only to find that he couldn't quite keep up with the newer villains of today.
At least not on his own. Evidence had been found that the Aqua Sydicate and Red Skull were working on something. Something Big. PROTECT's director, Nikolai Fury adn the Libertist had decided to put together a team of the world's greatest heroes. Starting within their own organization, the masterfully skilled mercenaries, Black Bird and the Archer. Titanius, begrudgingly joined due to the ability to boost his own popularity, hoping to surpass the Libertist.
Then they began their search for Dirk, or the X-Factor. This boy had many run-ins with PROTECT and proved to be a formidable friend/foe. He was a mutant, a race of individuals subdivided from humans that had extraordinary abilities. Dirk has many abilities but his most prominent are his healing factor, claws that have been coated with adamantium(a type of indestructible metal), and his animal like senses.
Next began the hunt for something that was believed to be absolutely impossible. The search for a God. More specifically, the God of thunder. He seems to be universal, each different cultures calling him by a different name. To the Chinese, he is known as Raiden, to the Norse, he is known as Thor, and even to the Greeks as Zeus, each having a different story. Unfortunately none are true. He refuses to speak of his true origins but has decided to help the humans as the future holds something terrible that may very well affect all life in the universe.
Together, they managed to fight against and thwart the plan of Aqua and Red Skull, saving the world from possible destruction. They were trying to recreate the super soldier serum but instead had created a monster. Using the monster under mind control, they used it to wreck downtown New York City as an example to the world. They used a man named Brian Banner to become a gigantic, hulking(hahaha
), humanoid beast with unimaginable strength.
Being that this went down in New York, a local unknown hero known as "Arachnnai", came onto the scene managing to keep the beast occupied while some of the others have been knocked out. His agility, stamina, and intelligence was even noted by the Thunder God who was even having a bit of trouble containing the beast. It was defeated through a special serum that was used to temporarily counter the affects of the beast, changing him back to normal.
Then, Thunder God had transported himself, Titanius and Arachnnai to the place where the villains would try to mass produce the beast. Our heroes however, with Arachnnai's knowledge in chemistry, was able to null the affects of the serum with a little quick tinkering making the resolve last permanently. And so that they couldn't attempt to pull this again, The God of Thunder completely destroyed their base leaving nothing behind...
After seeing how they could do much better than they could apart, Our heroes have decided to put their differences aside, and unite whenver the need was great to save their world. Dirk was a little annoyed but Black Bird managed to find a way to reason with him. So then, for the years after that, they would work together to take out any villains that threatened to destroy their world.
They would be called: "The world's mightiest heroes. The Avengers..."

)
Arachnnai has only been on the avengers once or twice. No one knows his true name or identity as he keeps it a secret from all except Fury(Who figured it out due to being a spy). He has proven to be nearly as intelligent as even Titanius himself, especially in the areas of Chemistry, Biology, and Biochemistry. Has exhibited abilities similar to that of a spider: Superhuman agility, strength, durability, the ability to climb any surface, ability to grow back lost limbs, shoot webbing, and a special spider sense that alerts him of danger. He cannot kill anyone, not because he couldn't but because he wouldn't due to something relating with his past. Has been bleesed with these powers from Anansi the Spider God though he doesn't actually know it, thinking himself to be just a mutated human. Is especially proficient in hand to hand combat, incorporating acrobatics and gymnastics into his fighting style that he has created known as: "The Way of the Spider." More information about him and his past is what I'll reveal in the IC.
Steven Rodgers: Basically personifies what it means to be a true patriot and soldier. Has a good heart and a pretty good head on his shoulders. Shield is made from vibranium. Basically, this guy is the same as our good old Captain America
Thomas Starke: Has unmatched intellect. Is able to think quickly in any situation, be it life threatening or simple. Is heavily reliant on his technology in battle although has taken some lessons from Thunder God. Is envious of The Libertist and often attempts in finding ways to subtly gain leadership. Is a smooth talker, ladies man, full of charisma(and sometimes of himself), can be a loyal friend.
The God of Thunder is very distant, almost though he were detached from reality. He seems to be emotionless in nearly all endeavors. Can not be tricked under any circumstances. Prefers to speak in logic and truth even if not many people like it. Prefers hand to hand combat and is very excellent in this area. Can manipulate weather, lighting, can fly, teleport, and create loud thunder that can create shock waves.
Dirk or the X-factor is the tough guy. Despite his being one of the youngest members of the original Avengers at 21, he is still very experienced and deadly. From a very young age, about 11, Dirk's skeleton has been coated with the indestructible metal, Adamantium. Along with this, he has the ability to sheath and unsheathed 6 claws that are located between the knuckles on each of his hands. He also has a very active healing factor that can heal small wounds like small cuts and scrapes in seconds, and more serious things like broken bones in hours. The amount of time it takes depends on the injury. Sicknesses and most poison do not affect him. He also has animal-like senses, his most notable being his keen sense of smell.
