The Avengers Costumes

This Thor costume is based on The Avengers movie where Australian Chris Hemsworth played this superhero who when he's not being Thor is a highly trained doctor.

When he's being Thor he has super strength, super speed, the ability to fly and also (what I think is pretty cool) the ability to control lightning.

This really is a costume that will make sure no one messes with you when you're wearing it!

There are a number of different Thor costumes to choose from including some very Nordic warrior influenced ones, but this Thor costume pictured is the one based on the movie.

The most important part of the costume is of course the magical hammer aka Mjolnir as it was when Dr Donald Blake picked up this Norse hammer that he was transformed into Thor the Norse God of Thunder and soon to be Avenger of the international peace keeping agency - S.H.I.E.L.D.

Chris Evans reprises his role of Captain America for Joss Whedon's The Avengers movie.

After becoming a scientifically super enhanced soldier Steve Rogers went from super soldier to super hero as the leader of The Avengers.  

As you can see from this Captain America costume Steve is very patriotic hence the name Captain America and the use of the stars and stripes on his costume as well as his shield.

This is not only a great Avenger's costume to wear it would also be appropriate to dress up in on the 4th of July don't you think?

Again there are a few different versions of these costumes available, but this one is based on the 2012 Avengers movie.

Robert Downey Jr also reprises a role that he's made famous - Iron Man - for the 2012 movie The Avengers.

Tony Stark, billionaire playboy, genius and inventor becomes Iron Man when he dons the special suit.

Robert Downey Jr is the actor who actually introduced me to Iron Man in the first place and so I'm very happy that he's continuing with the role.

The Iron Man costume pictured here is a replica of Tony Stark's most efficient Iron Man suit yet taken straight from Joss Whedon's The Avengers movie.

Who wouldn't want to be Iron Man?   If you're still not sure which Avenger you want to be that's okay we've still got some more to look at.

I used to love watching the Incredible Hulk on television growing up and it will be interesting to see how actor Mark Ruffalo brings him to life in this movie.

Dr Banner after being irradiated by gamma energy has found that when adrenaline was released in his body he would change into the Incredible Hulk a large green 'monster' with incredible strength.

Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. hunts down the Hulk and gets him to join his band of super heroes to help keep international peace.

This Incredible Hulk costume is based on the one from The Avengers movie, I'm just hoping Dr Banner gets to use the words I grew up loving to hear, "you won't like me when I'm angry."

Scarlett Johansson is reprising her role of The Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff from Iron Man 2 in the 2012 Avengers Movie.

Now I must admit that until I saw The Avengers movie I hadn't heard of Hawkeye, but I certainly won't be forgetting him now.   

Nick Fury was a WWII hero before becoming the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. he ages very slowly and has been trained in many aspects including green beret training.
