Ultimate Avengers 2 by Will Meugniot and Dick Sebast and Bob Richardson (2006)
8 June 2008An enjoyable follow up to Ultimate Avengers, this time dealing with the Black Panther, and with the return of the evil Aliens. The same good animation, and slightly more violent story than you would get on TV with more adult themes and deaths. Worth checking out, I hope they do more.
This film starts out with Steve Rogers aka Captain America (Justin Gross) going on mission after mission, not caring about his life, and getting wounded, until General Nick Fury (Andre Ware) must take him off duty. And not even his number 1, Natalia Romanoff aka Black Widow (Olicia d’Abo damn she is doing this now?!?!?!?) can get him to open up. Meanwhile in the isolated African nation of Wakanda the son of the king T’Challa (Jeffrey D. Sams) returns from being educated to see an attack on his land, and his father the King T’Chaka (Dave Fennoy) goes out as the Black Panther to stop the menace. It is the Aliens from the last film, and Herr Kleiser (Jim Ward from the Stephanie Miller show, that Rocks!) is back and in from of his son T’CHaka is killed making T’Challa the heir. The Aliens want the heart of Wakanda. T’Challa breaks his country’s rules by going to find Captain America to ask him how to kill Herr Kleiser, but he can only say it is hard as he has killed him twice and he keeps coming back. Nick Fury wants Shield to help, but T’Challa can’t allow outside help, so he returns to Wakanda, while Fury secretly assembles the Avengers to see what they can do.
REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS…
The Avengers slowly assemble. Henry Pym aka Giant Man (Nolan North) is being an ass to his wife Janet Aka the Wasp (Grey DeLisle), being way too arrogant and they are having issues. Iron Man Tony Stark (Marc Worden) saunters in late. And Bruce Banner (Michael Massee) is now locked up because of his stint at the hulk, and the woman he loves Doctor Betty Ross (Nan McNamara) won’t see him, though is working on why parts of the Alien space ship are brittle. Thor (David Boat) is late, but finds of the evil from his father Odin (Dwight Schultz) and goes to help the humans.

Meanwhile a giant Alien war ship shows up in the air over Wakanda and puts a field around the earth dropping huge alien battle machines all over. T’Challa tries to get his people to get help, but they refuse, but the Aliens destroy their crashed spacecraft that was powering Wakandas defenses and the go for the heart of Wakanda which is an underground trove of precious vibranium which crashed in a meteorite. T’Challa asks Fury to come and help, and he brings the avengers.
