->'''Iron Man''': One on one, we can each take down a villain or two, but 74... none of us can do it alone. Together we have a chance. What we did here, it can change things. The world needs us, but not as SHIELD agents. As a team of our own. Together, we can avenge the wrongs caused by all these villains.
->'''Wasp''': We can be [[TitleDrop Avengers]].
->'''Hulk''': Huh. Good name.

''The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes'' is a show on DisneyXD, based on the Marvel comics series ''ComicBook/TheAvengers.'' The original head writer was Christopher Yost, who developed the show along with producer Josh Fine, as well as Ciro Nieli.

The series begins with a mysterious, massive breakout at each of the world's four super-villain prisons, releasing a horde of super-powered criminals upon the world. Brought together by the massive threat posed by the escaped Graviton, the team known as the Avengers are born - they are the Earth's Mightiest Heroes!

Originally, the team consists of [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk The Incredible Hulk]], Comicbook/IronMan, Comicbook/{{Ant-Man}}, TheWasp, and Comicbook/TheMightyThor, with Comicbook/CaptainAmerica, the BlackPanther, {{Hawkeye}}, Comicbook/MsMarvel, and a host of other heroes ready to join them. Together, they deal with such threats as the terrorist organization Comicbook/{{HYDRA}}, the mystical trickster god Comicbook/{{Loki}}, the shapeshifting Skrull aliens, and many many more.

The series premiered on October 20th, 2010. Prior to this, Disney XD premiered a series of micro-episodes to introduce us to the series, which can be seen [[http://www.youtube.com/user/disneyxd#p/c/6F531123296E8817 here]]. Combined with the actual series, they all add up to two seasons with twenty-six episodes each. The series finale has an airdate of November 11, 2012.[[note]]If you want to get technical, the chronological 41st episode didn't air until May 5, 2013, but it did come to DVD a little over seven months earlier.[[/note]] Two series of tie-in comics also exist: a four-issue miniseries, and a series of additional comics published under the "all-ages" ''Marvel Universe'' banner. (Tropes for the comics can be found at ''Comicbook/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'')

At some point JephLoeb became executive producer of the show. He oversaw a {{Retool}} starting in episode 41, with help from ManOfActionStudios, deciding that people would prefer standalone episodes to arc-based. Loeb cited the desire for people to not have to pick up the show midway through and say [[ContinuityLockout "I don't know what's going on."]] He also brought out a mandate that stated episodes should be focused on the 'core' Avengers, meaning Iron Man, Captain America and Thor, with less focus on the rest of the team. The Avengers' next cartoon, ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'', might or might not continue ''EMH'' with a roster and tone similar to the movie ''Film/TheAvengers''. The new show will replace ''EMH'' on Disney XD's WesternAnimation/MarvelUniverse block.

This is the second attempt at The Avengers having an animated series, the short-lived ''TheAvengersUnitedTheyStand'' being the first.

This series has a [[Characters/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes character sheet]] and [[Recap/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes recap page]]. Also visit [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/crowner.php/BestEpisode/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes this crowner]], to help vote on the best episode.

Not to be confused with the mid-2000s comic series ''The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes''.
