Tucked off to the side are additional levels based on Iron Man 3, Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The game offers lengthy campaigns that recount all of The Avengers and The Avengers: Age of Ultron. On the surface, this is a video game adaptation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Some of those forgotten heroes find a home in Lego Marvel’s Avengers.

Most of the new characters disappear into Marvel’s expansive archives and are never heard of again.


Iron Man periodically exchanges laser fire with new techno-villains, and different characters suit up as Captain America for a spell, but these story deviations from the core conflicts and characters rarely have lasting impact in the universe. New heroes and villains are introduced into Marvel’s comic-book continuity almost every week.
