Chapter 1
In the barren and dystopian streets of a New York City, citizens are heavily monitored and troops cover every block. Hawkeye is talking to an ambigious Avengers team covered in dark. It is here the player can choose a rooster of 4 heroes, besides Hawkeye and Iron Man for this chapter. Hawkeye leaps from rooftop to rooftop with the team chosen. He arrives at a junkyard, where a gang has gathered. In the center, they keep Tony Stark tied to a chair. The team has to silently take out the gang members before their presence finally becomes known to the entire gang. After defeating them, the team confronts the leader, Crossbones. After defeating him, Hawkeye unties Stark. Security forces begin to close in on them both. Stark is unable to stand, seemingly drugged by his captors. the team carries him and eventually the security forces lose track of them. He lifts a manhole and goes down into the sewers with Stark. More troops follow into the sewers, this time on hovering vehicles. After defeating them, the team makes it to the base of operations for the fractured and demoralized Avengers. All of the members include Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Wonder Man, Black Widow, Wasp, Yellowjacket, and Hawkeye.

Stark tells the team that Kang the Conqueror is giving amnesty to anyone who can turn in heroes to be imprisoned by his forces. The team in turn provides him with his crude Mark 1 suit which is removed from any network, thus allowing them to remain off the radar. The team concocts a plan for Bruce banner to transform into the Hulk and knock out Thor before delivering him to Kang at his base in New York City. Meanwhile, the Avengers will infiltrate the base.

Chapter 2
Now you can choose your hero as well as the team to execute the plan, with of course the exception of Thor and Hulk. Those you do not choose for the mission will stay at the base in case things go awry. The plan initially goes smoothly,. The Hulk knocks out Thor and arrives at the base. The Avengers team slowly infiltrates the base, taking out Kang's various troops and security systems. The Hulk discovers that Kang is nowhere to be found. Instead, he is using Vision as a conduit to rule the time period. The Hulk decides to go against the original plan and attacks Kang's forces, making the entire mission go sideways. The rest of the team arrives on the scene and works quickly to free Vision. Vision is killed by Kang's forces before he can be freed. The team manage to escape with their lives back to their base in the sewers.

Chapter 2
Bruce Banner is verbally attacked by Tony Stark, who blames him for the mission's failure. Wonder Man doubts the plan's viability in the first place. The team changes course. Stark asks Captain America if he knows if Nick Fury had any fail safe plans for a situation like this, and if so, where were they located. Captain America says Nick Fury had a hidden safehouse located in the Savage Land. The team goes to San Fransisco to find Nick Fury's coordinates for the Savage land. A seperate team is formed again to infiltrate a hangar belonging to Kang's forces to provide a method of travel.

After taking off with an aircraft, they arrive in San Francisco and are surprised to see massive structures surrounding the city. They slip by into the city and find Nick Fury's coordinates. Arriving eventually in Savage Land, the team splits to scan the island. The player forms a team again here. The Avengers fend off against dinosaurs, humanoids with monkey-like traits named Tree People, and a tribe of yeti named Snowmen throughout the island. Eventually the Avengers all arrive at Fury's safehouse. Busting the door open, they find Fury's contingency plans as well as Iron Man's more advanced Mark 2 suit, which is also not connected to any network.

The team uncover a contingency plan of Fury's, in the case of an attack from the future, to use Doctor Doom's time platform, which is supposed to be in the safe house after Nick Fury had stolen it from Doom in the past, and go to the future to sever the attacker's connection to the past. However, it seems Doom had reclaimed it years ago. Tony Stark explains to the rest of the team that Latveria has been left untouched due to an agreement between Doom and Kang, which will mean that they will have to go to confront Doom to get the time platform.

Chapter 3
The team flies near Latveria. Its military assumes it to belong to Kang's army but Doom realizes its occupants to be the Avengers. His forces shoot down the Avengers and it seems the team was killed in the resulting explosion. In truth, the heroes had jumped out earlier. Deploying parachutes, the team gets to the ground safely on the outskirts of Latveria. They split up to infiltrate the city and the player forms a team. Doom already sees through their ruse and orders his forces attack them. The Avengers defeat Doom's troops initially, but begin to be overwhelmed as Doom deploys massive tanks and other mechanical creations. They make it into Latveria itself and assault Castle Doom. The team selected manages to get past it all successfully and searches the castle for the time platform. They eventually find it however Doctor Doom arrives to stop them. The team defeats Doctor Doom, allowing all of the Avengers to travel on the time platform.

Chapter 4

Their abrupt transportation to this future immediately gets the attention of Kang's forces, who attack the Avengers in giant-mechanized robots and hover-craft. An open brawl begins in the streets, blowing any of the cover the team had. A group of rebels arrive and lead them to safety underneath the city. The rebels belong to a group who see Kang the Conqueror as an authoritarian, not a savior. They recognize the team, and reveal that they have a religious-like following of them.

The rebels think of a plan alongside the Avengers to infiltrate Kang's palace. A team is selected to take control of a military truck. A rebel disguises himself as a member of the military, driving the truck to Kang's palace and parking it among other military trucks.

His forces begin to descend upon them The team fights their way past them and eventually arrives at Kang the Conqueror's command center where he is dictating the events of the past. Locking themselves inside, they destroy the center.

The rebels arrive and blow a hole inside the palace leading to the sewers, allowing the Avengers to flee there. Kang's forces give chase and discover the sewers to be home of the rebels. The Avengers arrive to see Kang's troops massacring the rebels. They defeat the troops but do so too late to save everyone.

The Master also reveals he has numerous World leaders held at his base. The team wants to seize the opportunity and use the Master's technology against Kang. The Master doesn't seek to play second fiddle to Kang anymore, but still refuses. He orders his minions upon the Avengers. After defeating the Master and his minions, the team seizes his technology and prepares to use it.

Chapter 6
Remaining with the same roster of heroes, the team sets in motion their plan. Using Master's base as their new base of operations, they shield themselves with a field, allowing themselves to be unseen by Kang in the present or future. The team additionally discovers how to use the Master's technology against Kang, especially the protective ring walls. The team first decides to tear down Kang's forcefield at his Damocles base to provide a distraction. Massive towers are raised from the Master's technology and attack Kang. The team uses the chance to flee the base since Kang undoubtedly knows what they are doing and where they are doing it. They then assault the main prison, where the remaining Avengers are held. The team faces a special guard in the prison, Taskmaster. Upon defeating him and regrouping the team, the Avengers decide their next steps. Half of the team will go assault Kang's base, the other half will help gather allies to help combat Kang's army.
