Salem Ridge is the world's first Avenger. Having crash landed on Earth during World War II, she fought alongside the super-serum soldier Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America. But when he was lost at sea, Salem Ridge remained to end the war. With unexplainable powers, and no memory of her past, Salem Ridge knows she has one purpose; protect the people of Earth from the dark forces which threaten it. After facing Hydra, Ridge co-founded SHIELD alongside Peggy Carter and Howard Stark. Nearly 70 years after her initial fall to Earth, the non-human Salem hasn't aged a day. Instead, she has operated as the world's fiercest protector - and its best kept secret. A new threat emerges when the mythic gods, Thor and Loki, battle on Earth, bringing a new type of threat to the forefront of SHIELD's mind. A year later, Loki returns, bent on revenge and set on world domination. With the cosmic weapon known as the Tesseract in his hands, Loki will stop at nothing to conquer the people of Earth and rule them as a king. After assembling an elite team of the world's mightiest heroes, including the recently rescued Steve Rogers, Will Salem Ridge neutralize this demented god and his alien army? Or will she uncover something far more sinister at play, and learn more about her past in the process. Follow along in this fan-fiction adaption of Disney Studios Marvel's "The Avengers."
