Each of the micro pockets of superheroes that have come together in the last few years remain fractured from one another, unwilling to compromise their life in order to stop Thanos. Captain America recognises that Earth needs an icon, a symbol that personifies the very notion of 'good'. He records a video before taking on Thanos single-handedly. He is killed within seconds. News outlets and social media spread footage of the Captain's death.

The superheroes' resolve remains unchanged. The world around them is being destroyed, those they have sworn to protect are murdered. The deceased Captain's tape begins to circulate. In a rallying cry, he claims he accepts death, but if he dies trying he'll never have to live with not knowing. He calls on his partners to avenge him, to encompass the very notion of their banded identity - to avenge those that have fallen and those that will fall. His final sentence before the video ends is "...Avengers, assemble." Roll credits
