Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers is an anime series developed by Walt Disney Japan and Madhouse that targets a younger demographic, particularly young boys in Japan. The premise revolves around Iron Man developing portable devices known as DISKs (Digital Identity Securement Kits) designed to capture and imprison supervillains. However, during a special demonstration event at the Ryker's Island facility, Loki hijacks the system, trapping not only the villains but also most of the Avengers—Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk—alongside Spider-Man inside malfunctioning DISKs. Following the catastrophic event, five Japanese youths—Akira, Hikaru, Chris, Edward, and Jessica—come into possession of these DISKs. Utilizing bio-codes, they are able to summon the trapped heroes for limited periods to fight against Loki and his army of villains. The series follows these kids as they travel across the globe to gather the scattered DISKs, thwart Loki's grand scheme of world domination, and find a way to permanently restore their heroes to the real world.
