Question about The Avengers.

[Gizmo1990]

Ok so i am looking forward to The Avengers movie they are making but somthing is bothering me and I am hoping someone can explain it to me. I love Iron man I think he rules and the same for the Hulk. Captain America is ok. But here is where I get confused. Why are they needed exactly? After seeing the movie Thor I get the impression that Thor would kick the crap out of Iron man and captain America in about 2 seconds and althrough I know very little about the comics I think I read somewere that Thro kicked the crap out of the Hulk at one point so with Thor around are the others really needed? To me Thor seems like the superman of Marvel. So powerfull everyone else seems to be there just beacuse.

Early on in the the avengers comic book they actually don't know he's a god.

Well first, the Hulk vs. Thor fight tends to go either way, depending on who's writing it.

OT: Each Avenger brings something to the table. Hulk and Thor are powerhouses, Iron Man is a science/technology genius, Captain America is a tactical genius, Black Widow is good with the spying, etc. Besides, given that the villain of the film looks to be

Spoiler

Loki (you know, another god), and chances are he'll have the Cosmic cube

I wouldn't put too much faith in Thor being able to fight alone.

The Superman of Marvel is probably The Sentry, but yeah, brute strength wise Thor does win over the Avengers (although piss off Hulk enough and he can crack planets).

Its pretty much a case of suspending your disbelief, even guys as (supposedly) weak as Hawkeye usually have a chance to more than contribute.

Actually, this is a way better explanation, ill change my answer to this.

Don't quote me on this but I believe that in the Avenger comics Thor usually gets the crap beatten out of him so actaully needs the other help because he isn't strong enough or something like that
