The Avengers Cartoon That Couldn't Use The Avengers

Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe made the Avengers household names, Marvel tried to bring Earth's Mightiest Heroes to the smalls screen. The result? One of the strangest and most forgettable superhero cartoons of the '90s.

Avengers: United They Stand attempted to bring Marvel's flagship superhero team to life with a futuristic setting, heavily armored costumes, and a roster of lesser-known heroes. There was just one problem: the show couldn't use Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, or the Hulk as its main characters.

So how exactly do you make an Avengers cartoon without the Avengers everyone knows?
