Moment In Time - Marvel Universe: Origins of The Invaders

In the midst of World War II, three amazing heroes emerge to battle the forces of evil, and the Marvel Universe is born.

The Human Torch -
created by Carl Burgos

The flaming android debuted in Marvel Comics #1, November 1939

Namor, The Sub-Mariner -
created by Bill Everett

The first mutant debuted in Marvel Comics #1, November 1939

Captain America -
created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby


The star-spangled champion debuted in Captain America #1, March 1941

Together they are The Invaders -
This series was set to explore the history of the Marvel Universe, and it started off strong.

Baron Strucker, of HYDRA, will use his knowledge of the future to take control of the past.

And the present.

Unfortunately after this 3-part Invaders story, the focus shifted to other far less interesting characters and the book was cancelled with issue #7.


Marvel Universe #1-3 1998

Countdown to Christmas 12/21/12 - Toys for the Holidays!

Now you too can explore the streets of New York City. Visit famous landmarks like The Baxter Building, Daily Bugle, The Avengers Mansion with the amazing Marvel World Play Set!
The stylish AM radio wrist watches, Mego Marvel Action Figures, and web-shooters would make excellent stockings stuffers.

Avengers Membership. It has its privileges.

In the Avengers movie we're getting a pretty good starter line-up with Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor and the Hulk.

But take a look at the possibilities.
The original founding Avengers were Thor, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Hulk and the Wasp. They discovered and freed Captain America from his frozen hibernation in ice.
Throughout the years Avengers membership has included almost every hero in the Marvel Universe.

Who would you like to see in a sequel?

Members have full access to the Avengers Mansion.
There is also a monthly monetary stipend. All provided by Tony Stark and Stark Industries.
