* ObviousRulePatch: Loki Multiball was made harder to obtain in the v1.70 update. Before this update, a common strategy would be to just shoot the left ramp to collect L-O-K-I letters and lock balls. This was changed so that the left flipper only cycles L-O and the right flipper cycles K-I.

''The Avengers'' is a PhysicalPinballTable designed by Creator/GeorgeGomez and released by Creator/SternPinball in 2012. Based on the [[Film/TheAvengers blockbuster movie]], the game requires the player to recruit the six members of the team, test their mettle against each other, then lead them to victory against the Asgardian trickster Loki in a Battle for the Earth. Use the Tesseract to build up cosmic power and raise your score, but watch out for the Hulk, as his short temper and flailing fists make things rather unpredictable.
