Comic Books
The story begins in the year 1942, during World War 2. Captain America led his troops to battle in Iceland against the Nazis. Their mission was to destroy the base of the Nazis. However, they were surprised to discover the launching of a rocket which was targetted at the White House. While it was launched, Captain America jumped and destroyed the rocket with heavily armed explosives and fell into the sea, thus being presumed dead.
Now the story sets in the year 2002, where Tony Stark was on vacation with his collegues. Nick Fury, on the other hand, was engaged in a conversation with Dr Bruce Banner about the super Soldier Serum project Banner was working on. Feeling that he could not produce the results as fast as he could, Nick Fury demoted him and transferred the task to the Pyms.
Dr Hank Pym was also working on the Giant Man project, along with his wife, Dr Janet Van Dyne. Feeling that the project would work, Dr Pym plans to try out the project on himself.
The next day, Tony Stark tried on his new suit and Dr Banner was greeted by Dr Janet where Banner was supposed to supervise Dr Pym's project. As the project commences, Dr Pym slowly transformed into a new superhero in the Avengers' Initiative, Giant Man. The project became a success in the end. What was even shocking was when Banner received a phone call from Nick Fury. Fury informed Banner that they found something from the ocean and it was none other than Captain America himself.
Meanwhile, Giant Man(Dr Pym) and his wife, Janet, were having their own vacation before they were summoned by Tony Stark through a text message.
Tony, Fury and Banner then woke Captain America aka Steve Rogers up and tried to make him feel relaxed and homely. When asked how long he was out, Fury replied," 57 Years". Taking none of that, Steve fought the security and tried to escape, but failed due to Giant Man's strength.
Steve was then accompanied by Nick Fury to meet his old friend, James Bucky Barnes, who is now married to Steve's fiancee, Gail. When they looked at each other, not only did they embrace, but also shared the story of what happened after his mysterious disappearance. After all the catching up was finished, Steve was given a welcome party at the Triskellion and was awarded a new Captain America suit.
Tony was then called for an interview while he was on space the very next day. Steve was accompanied by Janet from shopping and to his dismay, discovered that his apartment had been ransacked by the neighbouring kids. And Dr Betty Ross, Banner's fiancee, criticized him for not cracking the code of the Super Soldier Serum and failing to recruit Thor to the Avengers Initiative. Threantening to break their engagement, Banner decided to try his luck in brining Thor back. His efforts were futile when Thor refused Fury's offer as he believes that the politicians are not doing enough good to help the people.
The avengers were having fun in the Triskellion until Banner arrived and he was ridiculed horribly by Dr Pym. Feeling demoralized and frustrated over their treatment towards him, Banner did the unthinkable. He injected the Super Soldier Serum and the Hulk Serum together and called Betty to inform her of his mistake. Before he could hang up, Banner fainted and was brought to the hospital via ambulance. During the trip, Banner suddenly transformed into Hulk and started to go on a Rampage. This promoted the Avengers to assemble and take down The Hulk.
During the fight, Hulk was searching for Betty and found her dating a celebrity, Freddie Prinze Jr. Angered by this, he tried to pursue her. When the Avengers tried everything they could to bring him down, Hulk still fought back. And to everyone's shock, Thor returned and fought Hulk as well. But Hulk managed to come back and subdue him.
Hulk found Betty escaping in a helicopter and tried to go after her. While he was doing so, Janet shrunk into small size and injected an antidiote inside Hulk's earlobes. As Betty called Banner's name out, Hulk felt weak and fell off the helicopter, only to have heard Betty shouting out his name.
As Hulk transformed back into Banner, he was knocked out by Captain America and taken back to base. Betty then went back to check on Banner's status and felt guilty for what she had done to him, while Fury consoled her.
Tony Stark invited Steve Rogers and Thor to his house for a party and they celebrated with a toast for their successful victory. On the other hand, Janet tried to convince her husband, Dr Pym to join her for the party at Stark's house, but he refused as he got angry with Janet and the Avengers' remarks of him. As Janet spoke back to him, Dr Pym and Janet engaged in a brawl and it lead to spouse abuse from Dr Pym. Dr Pym succeeded by ordering his ants to bite Janet when she was in small size and left the apartment, leaving Janet broken and beaten down.
The Ultimates Vol 2: Homeland Security
The
city of New York spent the entire day mourning for the death of the
loved ones due to the Hulk's rampage. When the Avengers were invited for
a Eulogy sharing session and also to pay their last respects to the
ones who gave their lives for this mayhem, Dr Janet was carried out on a
stretcher to the nearest hospital after she was found in a critical
stage.
When
it was over, Steve Rogers was met by Bucky and his wife Gail outside
Church. But before they could hang out, Nick Fury called everyone,
including Steve, to come to the Hospital where Dr Janet was admitted to.
At the hospital, the doctor reported that there were ant bites all over
her and it's apparent that the prime suspect was definitely Dr Henry
Hank Pym.
Later,
Stark, Steve and Betty Ross went for a coffee to discuss about what
could have caused the couple( Dr Hank Pym and Dr Janet) to fight and
argue. As Betty expressed what Dr Janet has been through in their
college days, they were startled to hear from the news that Dr Hank Pym
ran off and was nowhere to be found.
Graphic Design for Hawkeye aka Clint Barton.
Nick
Fury, on the other hand, summoned the Avengers again for an urgent
meeting. Before that, Black Widow and Hawkeye, two newly recruited
members of the Avengers' Initiative and current S.H.I.E.L.D. operative
agents, were set on a mission to take out a large group of Chitauri
Army, disguised as Humans, in a corporate building. The mission became a
success as S.H.I.E.L.D. managed to wipe everybody out. Meanwhile,
Captain America went to the Satellite room to find out Dr Pym's location
and he ordered transport to prepare him.
After
a successful mission, the Avengers gathered together for a meeting with
General Fury. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were present as well as
they also joined the Avengers' Initiative. The only person missing is
Captain America. What Fury discussed about was the Chituari Army that
arrived to invade Earth, disguised themselves as Humans during World War
2. He elaborates that there are still a few out there and this would
interest Captain America more as he had encountered a couple of them in
his time. After the meeting was over, Fury got word that Captain America
discovered Dr Pym's location and is heading there to find him. Before
he could stop him, he was already too late.
Captain
America confronted Hank Pym on his abuse towards his wife and picked a
fight with him. After transforming into Giant Man, the fight got very
ugly as Captain America made use of the equipments at the construction
site to weaken Giant Man. In the end, S.H.I.E.L.D. rushed in before
Captain America declared himself as the winner. This fight was talked
upon by Betty Ross and Bruce Banner at the holding area and Betty
announced that he should be less concerned about this and more concerned
about what Fury has in store for the Avengers.
Captain
America paid Dr Janet a visit in the hospital before he sets off with
the Avengers for the Micronesia Mission to locate the Chitauri Army's
hideout. However, it was a bad time for Janet as she was not pleased
with what Captain America did and she ordered him to leave.
After
leaving, he returned to base with Nick Fury while Tony Stark had a
wonderful conversation with Natasha Romanoff about her job description
and his new suit. Fury and the Avengers set off to the island to locate
the Army. While traveling, Captain America had flashbacks about his
encounter with Herr Kleiser and his Army in the time where the train was
carrying armed explosives and how Captain America stopped it in the
end. When they arrived at the Island, most of them discovered that it
was empty and no one was found. Before that, Dr Janet left her bed to
head to the bathroom. And suddenly, she encountered a female staff who
is actually a Chitauri in disguise, pointing a gun and trying to shoot
her. Janet transformed into Wasp and managed to flee out of the
hospital. She even went to the Military base and called S.H.I.E.L.D. to
leave the Island immediately as they could called to a trap. Before she
could say more, she lost signal as everyone were presumed dead due to
the heavy blowup in the island.
Suddenly,
she heard a male voice from S.H.I.E.L.D. command and that person warned
her to surrender herself or else, she would die along with everyone.
And that person revealed himself to be Herr Kleiser himself.
Herr Kleiser. Captain America's former enemy.
Realizing
that the numbers were too much to handle, she was captured and held as a
prisoner under Herr Kleiser's clutches. Kleiser revealed that his new
plan is to destroy Earth and rule over the Galaxy as no want could stop
him. Which was why he lured the Avengers to a trap in the Island. He
even ordered more Chitauri Army battleships to start the invasion as
soon as possible. As he was preparing his troops for the procedure, one
of his man tracked a signal from a unidentified flying object. Suddenly,
it was too late to realize that the signal came from Iron Man and the
Avengers suddenly appeared right before Kleiser's face.
Captain America lead his men and the Avengers to battle against the Chitauri Army and took the fight to Kleiser.
During
the fight, Captain America ran the F15 right into Kleiser and engaged
in a war torn battle against him. Iron Man and Thor took control of the
air, while Black Widow and Hawkeye rescued Dr Janet and took out the
remaining Chitauri army who were hiding inside base.
Captain
America managed to conquer Herr Kleiser after Nick Fury took out
Kleiser with his weapons. But it wasn't enough. That was when Captain
America ordered air support to drop Banner down. After Banner was
punched countless number of times and pushed out of the helicopter, he
immediately transformed into Hulk and completely annihilated Herr
Kleiser after Captain America's influence. Not only that, he even helped
Thor to destroy as many Chitauri Ships in the air. Dr Janet and Black
Widow shockingly discovered a time bomb in an alien language in which
would destruct in one hour's time, thus wiping out the entire lifeforms
on Earth. Iron Man managed to drag the bomb out while Thor used his
powers to teleport the bomb to another realm where there are no
lifeforms found.
In
the end, the bomb was disposed off, Hulk was sedated and transformed
back to Banner and the Avengers were declared as heroes in the end.
The
President organized a ball for the Avengers in the White House. Before
that, Betty expressed her love to Banner at the holding cell, Janet
received an apologetic phone call from Hank Pym for not filing spouse
abusal charges and Fury and Steve talked about preserving the chemicals
and DNA of the Chitauri Army, so that they would be prepared for them if
they were to invade them again.
Janet
then apologized to Steve for her despicable behavior as she wasn't
herself and Steve accepted her apology and danced with her. While
dancing, they both shared a passionate kiss and continued dancing. Nick
Fury on the other hand, was welcomed to the White house and was
appointed as a special forces commander by the White House
Administrative.
