C M Y K 12BPAGE LIVING News-Sun Friday, May 4, 2012 NICK FURY As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., global security is Fury’s (Samuel L. Jackson) primary concern. It’s a responsibility someone in his position can’t afford to take lightly. Preparation is paramount. So when S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence becomes aware of an evil force threatening life on Earth, Fury assembles some of the most powerful beings on the planet to defend it. Superhuman abilities: None.

IRON MAN Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) has it all. Wealth. Devilish charm. Genius-level intellect. And a high tech suit of armor that flies and shoots particle beams. As Iron Man, Stark has embraced the role of superhero. But for all his tremendous gifts, he’s got some significant flaws. He’s narcissistic, at times self-destructive and not much of a team player. Superhuman abilities: None. The Iron Man armor, powered by Stark’s repulsor technology, provides its wearer superhuman strength, flight and protection. It features a bevy of offensive weapons including mini-missiles and plasma bolts. An advanced artificial intelligence program, JARVIS, assists Stark in piloting the suit. When we last saw him: In “Iron Man 2,” Stark was told he was too unstable to be a part of Nick Fury’s Avengers Initiative and would instead serve as a consultant. THOR Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the Norse god of thunder, was banished from the mystical realm of Asgard because of his excessive pride. He is stripped of his powers and sent to Earth. While in exile, Thor learns compassion, defending the people that befriended him on Earth from a threat sent from Asgard by his evil brother Loki. His powers restored, Thor is humbled by his experi- ence and is changed for the better. Superhuman abilities: Due to his Asgardian physiology, Thor possesses superhuman strength, speed, stamina and reflexes. Wielding Mjolnir, an enchanted hammer given to him by Odin, allows him to generate lightning, tornado-class winds and small scale earthquakes. When we last saw him: Thor’s final battle with Loki destroyed the Bifrost Bridge, the transdimensional portal that connected Asgard to Earth. HULK In a freak accident, scientist Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) gets irradiated with gamma rays and transforms into an enor- mous, green-skinned, unstoppable beast nicknamed the Hulk. As he struggles to control his typically anger-triggered Hulk transformations, Banner finds himself on the run from U.S. military officials who want to use his blood to create an army of super sol- diers. If the Hulk could be controlled, it could be a valuable asset in Earth’s defense. Superhuman abilities: As the Hulk, Banner possesses superhuman strength that increases as his adrenaline level rises. The Hulk’s skin is remarkably tough and able to withstand bul- lets. The Hulk’s endurance, speed and healing abilities also are at superhuman levels. When we last saw him: At the conclusion of “The Incredible Hulk,” Banner is living in seclusion, working on ways to control his transformation into the Hulk. BLACK WIDOW Beautiful and deadly Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett “The Avengers” is the latest in a line of successful independent productions by Marvel Studios,* all of which have Johansson) is a master spy working for S.H.I.E.L.D.

Superhuman abilities: None. When we last saw her: In “Iron Man 2,” Romanoff posed as Tony Stark’s per- sonal assistant to assess his worthiness to become a part of Nick Fury’s Avengers Initiative and helped Stark take down the villainous Ivan Vanko, aka Whiplash.
