Captain America: The First Avenger opens up today and I can't wait to see it! Many people don't follow comics, however, and may not know who Captain America or who these other superheroes are showing up in their movie theaters. To answer that question, they are a soon-to-be team of superheroes that are called, The Avengers. This will be in a movie coming out in 2012, where all of them will be combined into one feature. The movies we are seeing today are a sort of background on each one of them. Here is a refresher course for those of you who don't read comics or haven't done so in a long time.
