Screen capture from The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes episode, "Breakout" (2010).

In the season two episode "To Battle the Living Planet" the Avengers assist the Fantastic Four in rescuing earthquake victims. The Avengers appear once more in "Doomsday" briefly fighting Dr. Doom. Aside from these, both Thor and The Hulk make guest appearances in episodes in speaking parts.
  • In the X-Men animated series, an alternate version of The Avengers appeared in the episode "One Man's Worth". In a timeline in which Charles Xavier was murdered before founding the X-Men, Captain America is the leader of The Avengers, a taskforce of superhuman mutant hunters fighting a war against the Mutant Resistance led by Magneto.
  • The Avengers: United They Stand was an animated series consisting of thirteen episodes. It originally aired from October 30, 1999 to February 26, 2000, and was produced by Avi Arad and distributed by 20th Century Fox Television. This series featured a team composed of Ant-Man (leader); the Wasp; Wonder Man; Tigra; Hawkeye and the Scarlet Witch. The Falcon and the Vision were added to the roster in the opening episodes. Captain America and Iron Man only make one appearance while Thor only appears in the opening titles and would've appeared in the proposed season two.
  • Marvel announced The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes would not be renewed for a third season, but cancelled for a new series Avengers Assemble!. The roster consists of Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Falcon.
  • A Japanese anime series, Disc Wars: Avengers, is currently in production by Toei Animation and will begin airing in Japan in Spring 2014. Targeted at boys aged 6-12, the story revolves around a group of youths that can use special discs to transform into the Avengers, who were sealed in the discs by Loki.[12]
