The Failure Mission The attack on the helicarrier. Loki has been captured, but something isnt right.

The Final Battle The Chitauri assault of Manhattan. With Loki having opened the portal and unleashing his legion of aliens to destroy New York, the Avengers finally assemble to take on this massive threat. They have finally become what Nick Fury has envisioned: a cohesive team of Earths mightiest heroes that the world can call on. The battle is appropriately epic, and wouldve ended in a nuclear explosion had it not been for Ironmans heroic near sacrifice at redirecting the missile towards the Chitauri mother ship. After a devastating skirmish, the Avengers emerge victorious.
