Publisher's Synopsis
A triple-bill of animated movies based on the Marvel comics. In 'Ultimate Avengers - The Movie' (2006), when a nuclear missile was fired at Washington in 1945, Captain America saved the world by causing it to detonate it in the upper atmosphere but then he fell miles into the icy depths of the North Atlantic, where he froze in ice for over 60 years. But now, with the world on the brink of annihilation, as sinister forces attempted to seize control of the world, Captain America must rise again as the last hope of survival, and lead a strong-willed team of today's superheroes: Iron Man, the billionaire bachelor used to doing things his own way; The Hulk, the destructive force Bruce Banner hopes to turn into a useful member of the team; Thor, a hero who has responsibilities to both the world of man and the world of Gods; and Wasp, a petite powerhouse who sees the team as a fresh start for her and her husband, otherwise known as Giant Man, 60 feet tall with an equally large chip on his shoulder. Individually, they are super heroes, together, they are the Ultimate Avengers. In 'Ultimate Avengers 2: Rise of the Panther' (2006), back to defend the planet against the invasion of aliens, the formidable team of superheroes reunites for another action-packed adventure. The powerful team brings together some of Marvel's cornerstone characters: Captain America, Iron Man, Giant-Man, Thor, Wasp, Black Widow, the Incredible Hulk, Bruce Banner and General Nick Fury. Finally, in 'The Next Avengers' (2008), the original Avengers' teenage children decide to become superheroes after their parents are killed by the evil robot, Utron. Trained by the ageing Tony Stark (Iron Man), James (son of Captain America and Black Widow), Torunn (daughter of Thor), Azari (son of the Black Panther), and Pym (son of Wasp and Giant Man) must now do battle with the same enemy that caused their parents' demise.
