Possible Identity Of The Aliens in The Avengers

Very plausible. Good article.

I definitely believe this. It would be a good lead up to Nova. Can't wait for this movie!

Plausible theory, but at this point I doubt anything would surprise me...

I think you could be correct. But it remains true that this is Loki's Random Army of Interdimensional Aliens that simply are not that important. They are the goon squad, Loki is the villain.

lol we should get mythbusters

Doesn't matter who they are in the end there all Hulk-fodder as the recent tv spot showed. Loki's the main villain and by the sound of it seems as like causes a ton of danage to the avengers not just physically

interesting! i'm still going with the annihilation wave, not long til we find out

Interesting idea. here is my view.

.."It says that Loki is using an artifact called the "Tesseract". The word tesseract is just another word for "cube". Therefore the Tesseract must be the Cosmic Cube."
- ok. you say "must be the cosmic cube" as if you have some level of uncertainty with that idea. Allow me to say 'IT IS 100%!, THE TESSERECT IS THE COSMIC CUBE, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT'. Considering they've been establishing the cube for three movies now (IM2- howard starks notebook, Thor- End Credit Scene, and in CA:TFA- the through entire movie.) Here is a quote from Red Skull in the movie. He picks up the fake cube that was buried with a dead viking warrior and then states "The Tesserect was the jewel of Odin's Treasure room, it is not something one buries"

-secondly they dont look like alien zombies, they look like theyre quite capable of thinking 4 them selves.

-Red skull could have really been teleported anywhere in space and in time. if the cube in the movie really has the original function of making deepest desires come true or whatever you want to come true/fruition then lets say Red Skul wanted to walk in the realm of the goads, hell he could of been warped off to Asgard, Olympus or some other pantheon. It would be awesome to see Red Skull on the throne of Asgard when Thor returns to asgard, with asgard partly in ruins.

good idea though, thought id just voice my opinions

Oh and ppl read this if u think the army aint important!
This is a statement by Feige from http://m.au.ign.com/articles/1200649
"[Loki] does say to Tony Stark at the end of the footage we showed today, he tells Tony that he has an army," reiterated Feige somewhat cryptically. "And that army is not just stuntmen in mocap suits. It'll be extremely, extremely large and something that links not only into the movies we've made but the movies we're going to make. So it's a big play that we're not quite ready to talk about."

@ Ace101

I went to your link and its just a wallpaper of iron man with debris falling in the background. Nothing about that says anything about it gives even a hint of the annihilation wave.

If your talking about the i.annihil.us URL, then that doesn't mean anything either. Marvel.com was using that URL for many years before even the first Iron Man movie was in production...

Regardless, this is easily the best theory I've seen anyone post. Its logical, it makes sense with everything we've seen, and their appearance is pretty much uncanny with the looks of the characters in the comics. If there is any theory to get behind, its this one.

Most other theories have just been people posting any alien race they can find in the MU and saying, "hey, it might be them", with little or no logical reasoning.

I think this theory is interesting. However, the aliens don't look very Zombie-ish to me. If you take away the Zombie part the rest of the theory actually sounds quite plausible.

I dont know about Zombies but your right they do look alot alike.

How does that not look like an undead alien? it looks almost skeletonized. Come on, this dude is clearly onto something.

Doesn't Thanos deal with Death? Undead looking aliens. Blue-ish skin. Gold plated armor. Involved with the Cosmic Cube. Joss Whedon's original species -- Thanos' Minions.

@CorndogBurglar

Exactly! Thank you. Annihilation Wave doesn't make sense-- but the fanboys are so [frick]ing stubborn about the logic on that theory. Loki's army don't look like bugs.

@ 3D

haha. I don't even know if you can call them fanboys, because i'm pretty sure that hardcore fanboys would know what the Annihilation Wave looked like, and would know that these guys look NOTHING like them. I'm more inclined to think that the people who are thinking this is the Annihilation Wave just don't really follow comics very much at all. But I could be wrong...

Either way, its a ridiculous to think this is the Wave.

Wow. This is the best theory I've seen! I wil come back to this article with many a posts of boobs if you are correct, good work!

Really, I got it Right? How do you know for sure?
