    Captain America and the Avengers (Arcade)

    Have you ever wondered how the Avengers got their name?   Like … what exactly are they avenging?  Do they just sit around in Avengers Tower waiting for some perceived slight that can subsequently be avenged?  And for that matter, isn’t the act of avengement reactive in nature?  I mean … these are Earth’s Mightiest Heroes©;…
