Plot
Part 1
After Iron Man stops an A.I.M. arms trade between them and Lucia von Bardas, he transports them to the Vault and returns to New York. Meanwhile, Hank Pym talks with Mad Thinker to see what he meant when he referred to the villains in the super prisons as "soon being free". Also on board, Wasp declines Maria Hill's invitation to join SH.I.E.L.D. Bruce Banner warns Leonard Samson about SHIELD's ulterior motives for keeping him imprisoned. Meanwhile Hawkeye sits silently in his cell at the Vault, after being framed by the double agent, Black Widow. Just then, all four super prisons' security systems shut down, allowing the combined 74 supervillains to escape. The tech-based foes in the Vault raid the armory keeping their weapons until they are stopped by Hawkeye. Iron Man is alerted and immediately returns to the Vault. The radiation based villains of the Cube break loose, during which Samson is exposed to Gamma radiation when he is injured by Zzzax. Bruce becomes the Hulk and escapes with Samson, heading for the nearest civilized area. The villains try to follow him, but the Leader orders them to remain. The prisoners of the Pym-particle shrunken Big House are freed, and the prison itself grows back to normal size causing the Helicarrier, it was kept in to crash in the Hudson River. Nick Fury learns of the other prisons' situations and realizes the same must be happening the secret fourth prison, the Raft.
Part 2
A flashback to 10 years before reveals Graviton's origin. In the present, Iron Man is outnumbered by old enemies at the Vault. To escape and fight Graviton, Tony self-destructs the Vault, but his armor was damaged and he radios a replacement from his Chicago tower. Thor, Hank Pym, and Wasp try to fight Graviton. Later, they are joined by Hulk and Iron Man and with their combined power they defeat Graviton and form the Avengers in order to catch the remaining 74 supervillians that escaped the four prisons.
Critical reaction
Brian Lowry of Variety called The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes!, "a slick but dizzyingly busy Disney XD animated program. If not the creative equal of Cartoon Network's superhero team-up Justice League from rival DC Comics, the show unleashes enough action to be plenty mighty with boys, as well as middle-aged guys with comics in Kevlar bags".[3] Kofi Outlaw of Screen Rant called it "a fairly entertaining experience that should appeal to Marvel fans and cartoon fans alike, be they young or old. For all the positive things about it, however, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes still doesn’t quite reach the acclaimed status of DC Universe and their animated projects".[4] Stephen Lackey of Mania.com stated, "Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes doesn’t compare to something like Justice League in animation or in story, but it is a step in the right direction for a Marvel animated product and it did end up being really entertaining".[5]
