A Bobby Movie Guide to "The Avengers"

With the most anticipated superhero movie arriving Friday since one of the greatest young actors of our generation shockingly died, I figured I would do a VERY QUICK rundown of the movies that brought us to this point.

When Callie wakes up due to a malfunction, she realizes the old woman renting her body is plotting murder.
