I'm a comic book aficionado with a deep knowledge of the Marvel universe. I've been following these characters for years and have a good understanding of their histories and stories. Let's delve into the question of whether Iron Man is the first Avenger.
Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, is a character that was created by writer and editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. He first appeared in "Tales of Suspense" #39 in March 1963. Iron Man is a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who builds a powered suit of armor to save his life after being injured by a booby trap while visiting Vietnam. He later uses this suit to fight crime and terrorism.
However, the Avengers are a different story. The Avengers, a team of superheroes, made their debut in "The Avengers #1" in September 1963. The founding members of the Avengers were Iron Man, Ant-Man, the Wasp, Thor, and the Hulk. This team was brought together by Iron Man to fight against Loki, the Asgardian god of mischief, who was attempting to manipulate the Hulk.
It's important to note that while Iron Man was one of the founding members of the Avengers, he wasn't the first Avenger in terms of the character's creation or the first superhero to join the team. The Avengers were created as a group, and each of the founding members joined at the same time. So, in the context of the Avengers team, Iron Man is not the "first" Avenger but rather one of the original members.
Now, let's address the mention of Captain America. Captain America, created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, first appeared in "Captain America Comics" #1 in March 1941. He predates Iron Man and the formation of the Avengers by more than two decades. Captain America was indeed not part of the Avengers at their inception. He was discovered by the Avengers after having been frozen in ice since World War II. He was revived and joined the team in "Avengers" #4, which was published in March 1964.
So, to answer your question directly, Iron Man is not the first Avenger. He is one of the original members of the Avengers team, but the concept of the Avengers and the team itself was created with multiple founding members, not a singular "first" Avenger. Captain America, while not an original member, is a significant character in the Marvel universe with a history that predates the formation of the Avengers.
