Role in the Battle of New York
Tony Stark initially was against the idea of joining a band of super powered beings given the fact he quote on quote “doesn’t play well with others”. Eventually though, he played a major part in helping liberate the city of New York including sending the missile meant to destroy the city toward the Chitauri command ship in space via the galactic portal.
Last Time We Saw Tony Stark
Despite the heroic act of selflessness Tony displayed, he
suffered from severe PTSD afterwards and also faced obstacles the challenged him
physically and mentally. From fighting the extremist enhancement serum to
facing an old nemesis from his past, Stark eventually overcame his obstacles
and became a better man because of it.
Role in the Battle of New York
Upon hearing news of Loki’s involvement with the missing
infinity stone the tesseract, Thor swooped in and assisted the team in repelling
the alien armada that invaded New York. Once the avengers stopped Loki, Thor
took him and the tesseract into Asgardian custody ensuring that an event like
this would never occur again. 
Last Time We Saw Thor
However, Thor would also have to deal with another threat
some time later. After his human lover Jane Foster stumbled across another one
of the infinity stones The Eather,
Thor would go on a desperate mission to not only remove the dark substance from
Jane’s body but also battle the ancient adversary that craved its dark power.
Role in the Battle of New York
Steve Rodgers found himself in a very compromising
situation. After seemingly dying in a desperate attempt to save innocent
civilians, he finds himself back in New York City…70 years in the future. Just
days after being reawoken, Captain Rodgers assumed command of the Avengers and
displayed that old school leader of the pack mentality that ultimately led to
his team’s victory.
Last Time We Saw Steve Rodgers
Role in the Battle of New York
Natasha’s role in the battle of New York came out of sheer
circumstance. Upon hearing of Clint Barton’s mind control via Loki, she thrust
herself into the fire and assisted in not only repelling the Chitauri invaders
but also closing off access to any future invaders.
Last Time We Saw Natasha Romanoff
Natasha Romanoff dedicated her life to SHIELD and found
herself working alongside avengers teammate Steve Rodgers. However, once it was
discovered that the Nazi science division Hydra had infiltrated and seized control
of SHIELD, Natasha’s loyalties were made all the more clear thanks to her role in
stopping Hydra’s massacre and willingness to start fresh after the fall out. 
Role in the Battle of New York
Dr. Bruce Banner was initially reluctant to join the “Avengers
Initiative”. In fact, the early stages of his involvement proved nearly disastrous
for not only the team but for everyone on board the Helicarrier. Eventually,
Banner’s involvement proved to be a key element to the avenger’s victory in New
York. Not bad for someone who’s always angry.
Last Time We Saw Bruce Banner
Not much is known what Bruce was up to after the battle of
New York, but the last time we saw Banner he was listening (or at least trying) to Tony Stark’s recollection of his past. But given Banner’s lack of
expertise and temperament, we can safely assume a career in therapy is clearly
off the table.
Last Time We Saw Clint Barton
Clint Barton had a rough go around last time we saw him. He
was mind manipulated by Loki into stealing the tesseract and caused havoc across
the helicarrier before Romanoff “knocked” some sense into him. Once freed from
Loki’s hold, he pulled his share of the weight and helped the Avengers stop
Loki’s siege on New York. 
Last Time We Saw The Twins
Little is known about the mysterious twins held captive in a
secret Hydra research facility in Sokovia, but what we do know is that their
names are Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. Eastern European twins orphaned at a young
age and are now prisoners. Wanda possess the ability to manipulate objects
while her brother Pietro possess superhuman speed and agility. One thing is
certain, the twins are products of Hydra experiments done on Loki’s scepter which
means the Avenger’s will eventually face them and presumably have their hands
full.
All signs now point to a new threat for the Avengers to take on. If one thing is not already certain, the face of the world will never be the same again.....
