Captain America Was Not One Of The Original Avengers

Ask any 10 year old boy who the original Avengers are and he would most likely say Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and Hulk. Well, they would be wrong.


As you should know, The Avengers started life as a comic book created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963. The original characters in the first issue were Iron Man, Ant-Man, Hulk, Thor and Wasp.

Captain America however, wasn't introduced to the Avengers until the 4th issue was released with him being unfrozen from his icy state by the other members of the team.
