before we get started Marvel Studios movies from the start have been about one famous me doesn't matter which movie we're talking about each one in their way examines war real or fantastical the Warriors involved and the power it takes to create them since Tony Stark first exited the cave in 2008 as Iron Man the stakes in this battle between good and evil have only gotten higher and blurrier of course the Marvel mythos began long before Ironman here's a history of Marvel's Ultra confusing ultra explosive war beginning at the dawn of the universe leading all the way up to Avengers age of Ultron so let's go way way back all the way to antiquity before the university even began before the universe began there were six singularities after the Big Bang those singularities were concentrated into six powerful ingots known as the Infinity stones they're extremely important have power over creation itself and influence events throughout history for instance five thousand years ago the Dark Elves of svartalfheim planned on using the ether of the Infinity stones to destroy the nine realms during an event known as the convergence why because the nine realms are planets in the universe linked by the cosmic tree yussle Asgard is the ruling realm but Earth or Midgard is pretty important to seeing is that's where most of the action that matters to you and me happens during that conflict the father of Odin Bor defeats the Dark Elves and nearly wipes them out save for Malekith and his minions so then thousands of years later Odin defeats the frost giants of Jotunheim on earth and adopts Loki however the tesseract another of the Infinity stones lands on earth in Norway because we need that to link to Norse mythology if the 20th century was the American Century it was also a period where humanity at least in the Marvel Cinematic Universe started to strive toward a higher form of war the world wars presented the kind of existential threats Midgard had never really seen to fend off those threats the world saw the birth of the Super Soldier which meant great and terrible things for everyone around 1935 German scientist dr. Abraham Erskine developed Super Soldier Serum and is forced to use it on Nazi officer Johann Schmidt and this is how he becomes Agent Smith no wait hold on the red skull after the war breaks out Red Skull rediscovers the tesseract in Norway using it to power Hydra the Nazis mystical research wing back in the States Steve Rogers enlists in the Army alongside his buddy Bucky and meets Chester Phillips Peggy Carter and later Howard Stark Tony Stark's father thanks to arcsin Rogers becomes Captain America he'd go on to lead the Howling Commandos which you could argue are the avengers wartime forerunners later behind enemy lines caps friend Bucky is captured freed and falls to as a parent demolished in a climactic battle captive eats red skull and crashes into the Arctic the tesseract is lost in remain so for nearly 70 years so while cap sleeps Chester Philips Peggy Carter and Howard Stark eventually co-found shields start up however the remnant of Hydra left behind after red skulls defeat quietly infiltrates shield as shield slowly becomes a global superpower during this time Bucky is found and is brainwashed by shield becoming the Winter Soldier a super soldier who assassinates global leaders over the course of decades meanwhile Howard Stark works on arc reactor technology the tech that would eventually power in Iron Man suits he does this with Anton Vanko but steals credit from Benko because he's a bit of a jerk at this point the Soviets begin work on their own super soldiers creating the Red Room and Black Widow program you guess who's a product of that program years pass and things start to quiet down President Reagan is elected into office Michael Jackson releases thriller and a young boy named Peter Quayle is abducted by aliens by the end of the Clinton years it's one big party in the Marvel Universe but things are just on the horizon at a New Year's Eve party in 1999 Tony Stark meets Maya Hansen the inventor of extremists and one ugly aldrich killian he'll be important later after 9/11 America found it needed new super soldiers as it faced threats it could not control but as the years wore on it became clear that some threats were out of this world get it out of this in a bid to recreate arcsine Super Soldier Serum general fattiest Ross enlists Bruce Banner and his daughter Betty Ross to work on a new version of the serum at Culver University this time they're using gamma radiation which is probably a bad idea lens fly because banner becomes the Hulk and destroys everything in the lab it escapes meanwhile Tony Stark becomes an arms dealer because we wouldn't want to cash in on their genius during wartime he's aided by Pepper Potts his personal assistant and happy hope his driver stark winds up getting captured by the ten rings a terrorist organization in the Middle East in order to escape he and fellow captive yinsen create a mini arc reactor this is similar to the one his father first designed this powers a suit of armor that helps him escape after unearthing corruption in Stark Industries linked to his capture Stark and his brand-new Iron Man suit of armor fights and wins his first battle after announcing himself as Iron Man Tony Stark is approached by Nick Fury about the Avengers initiative elsewhere Hulk is attacked in Rio by Thunderbolt Ross and super soldier candidate Emil Blonsky banner manages to escape and makes his way back up to the state the big week so this is where things really heat up and then marvel jumps into a giant pile of money three different movies happen in the span of one week Iron Man 2 incredible Hall Church and Thor some time passes and Tony Stark upgrades his suit he's at the top of his game he's looking great but soon discovers the arc reactor in his chest is killing him Natasha Romanov aka Black Widow is hired at Stark Industries so then Ivan Vanko Anton Vanko son attacks Tony Stark at the Monaco Grand Prix after that we get reduced to Colonel James Rhodey Rhodes an Air Force pilot and good friend of Tony's he then becomes war machine get out after beating down a drunken volatile Stark meanwhile back on Asgard Thor is about to be crowned king however his coronation comes to an abrupt end when the frost giants invade after some soul-searching and reviewing his father's old notes Tony creates a new type of ray of light just kidding it's a new element that's cool still though right that element powers his new arc reactor saving his life in the process Thor and his friends namely adoptive brother Loki SIF in the Warriors 3 voltage Fandral and Hogan invade Jotunheim to take down the frost giants they fail odin eventually saves Thor but banishes him to earth stripping him of his powers sorry man meanwhile on the run Bruce Banner secretly returns to Culver City to reunite with Betty meanwhile again an upgraded Iron Man and war machine defeat Ivan Vanko Nick Fury offers Tony Stark a role as shields consultant showing him footage of the rampaging Hulk later Phil Coulson discovers me linear so Jane Foster an astrophysicist doing research on wormholes just like the one that brought Thor to earth meets Thor after he lands in New Mexico Coulson takes Jane's research Loki discovers he's a frost giant and sets out to rule Asgard in Thor's place meanwhile Emil Blonsky becomes a super soldier using a modified banner serum Thor raids the shield camp to retrieve melee unfortunately he fails in that attempt he's still unworthy banner just completely Hulk's out at cold Universal adding student loans by now Thoris started a relationship with Jane however Loki sends the destroyer an Asgardian metal warrior to earth to take Thor out after sacrificing himself for Jane's sake Thor's powers return he then returns to Asgard and defeats look elsewhere grape juice Bruce Banner heads to New York and tries to cure himself coveting the Hulk's power Blonsky injects himself with banners blood becoming the abomination in order to defeat abomination banner decides to Hulk out in Harlem and nowadays more in control of his power he wins now we're at the end of the week banner escapes to Calcutta James Cameron discovers the tesseract and Captain America dr.
