Everyone knows the story of Thor, the god of thunder, the god who touched down in New Mexico and fought his brother and nearly leveled the city. He was on the news for weeks after that and the entire scenario bore the idea that there were other beings out there in the universe who knew how to get to Earth, who could level a city with a single fight, and it had plagued the world's militaries. How could Earth stay protected if they didn't know everyone who was out there? What would happen if another alien race came to Earth and decided to start a war? This fear prompted SHIELD to begin to create the Avenger's Initiative, an idea that would bring Earth's mightiest heroes together so they could work alongside one another and protect the innocent people who lived with them. No one would have imagined that when this initiative would be put into place, though, that Earth's strongest men and women would be fighting alongside two of the very beings their planet feared.
