STEVE ROGERS aka CAPTAIN AMERICA
After a top-secret Super-Soldier program transformed Steve Rogers into the powerful and heroic Captain America, his amazing WWII exploits made him a living legend. But when he was awakened in the present day after being frozen in ice for decades, Steve found himself alone in a modern world he hardly recognized. Nevertheless, he suited up as Captain America to help The Avengers defend Earth against supervillain Loki's treachery. After those cataclysmic events, Steve is living a quiet life in Washington, D.C., struggling to adjust to his new life, when he's drawn into a web of intrigue and danger to unmask a powerful yet shadowy enemy who threatens to put the world at risk.
SAM WILSON aka FALCON
Sam Wilson is an ex-military paratrooper who works with veterans in Washington, D.C. Secretly trained by the military in aerial combat using a specially designed wing pack, Falcon becomes an indispensable ally when he teams up with Captain America and Black Widow to run a danger-filled race to halt an impending threat in its tracks.
NICK FURY
Nick Fury, the legendary director of the international peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D., is back at headquarters in Washington, D.C., following the success of his special team, The Avengers, in repelling an alien invasion of New York City. Now Fury is faced with a hidden enemy who threatens to put the world at risk.
THE WINTER SOLDIER
A brainwashed, mega-enhanced Super-Soldier doing dirty work for a mysterious organization. The hardened Winter Soldier has no memories of his former identity, and that suits him just fine — he's simply a killing machine.
NATASHA ROMANOFF aka BLACK WIDOW
S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Natasha Romanoff is one of the world's greatest spies and quite possibly the world's most skilled assassin. After the events in New York City with The Avengers, where her specialized weapons and vast repertoire of martial arts skills helped the team defeat the invaders, Black Widow returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to take on new assignments, only to find herself joining forces with Captain America again.
ALEXANDER PIERCE
