Check out Paste's top 20 films of 2008...

Marvel Studios was once content to have its properties (Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four) creatively slapped around and sold by Hollywood studios, but somewhere between record weekends and the contemporary re-invention of the comic-book movie, the company finally came to its senses. This summer, the surprise smash Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk became the first two films the studio produced on its own, and especially in the case of Iron Man, the only question left afterward was, "Hey, what took you so long?"

Due to the successes of both Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, it's been no surprise that Marvel is gunning to make an Avengers film. This is especially true for those of us who sat around a little longer to see the films' cameo appearances from the team. But one thing that has been unknown is the exact formation of the Avengers team, since well over 50 heroes have been included over time.
