You might be under the impression that LEGO Marvel's Avengers only features characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that is far from the case. While it does feature many of the movie versions of heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and more, the game is also filled to the brim with comic book superheroes and villains both new and old from across Marvel's long publishing history. One team of superheroes who have been in the headlines recently is The Defenders. Comprised of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron First, this team of street-level heroes looks to keep the citizens of New York safe from crime. Daredevil and Jessica Jones are already the stars of their own Netflix shows, with Luke Cage and Iron Fists shows in the works. Once each character has been established, they will all team-up for The Defenders show. But before you see them brought to life in live-action, you can play as them in LEGO form. This guide will help you locate each of the four heroes in LEGO Marvel's Avengers.
Unlocking and playing as each of them will score you an achievement if your on Xbox and a Trophy if you're on PlayStation to boot. Each of these characters are found in the open-world New York City area. Since LEGO Marvel's Avengers doesn't have a real map, only a mini-map, relaying the exact location of these characters can be tricky. We'll be using landmarks to try and point you in the right direction. Always keep an eye on your mini-map when hunting for characters, as their face will appear on the map when close. The Man Without Fear is located near the water on pier, near a number of shipping containers. If you're looking at the Roxxon Power Plant, he'll be down the street on your right a ways. Use a flying character to cover over the street and watch your map for his icon to appear. Though he's wearing his classic comic book look, he'll make reference to the Daredevil show and ask for your help in defeating some bad guys. Defeat them and you'll then be able to purchase the character.
His billy clubs allow him to swing through the city like Spider-Man, making the character a good one to grab early. Jones is located in the heart of the city, dressed as her Jewel superhero persona. She's trying to find a nanny to watch her kids, but all the applicants are late. The applicants just so happen to be other heroes like She-Hulk and Squirrel Girl. Track them down, help them defeat some bad guys and then return to Jones to unlock her at the character store. Jones can fly, making her another useful character to grab first thing once you have the required studs. Luke Cage, a.k.a. Power Man can be found in East Harlem on a street corner. He's fairly easy to unlock, as through the course of The Avengers campaign you'll find yourself in New York City, with your objective near Cage's location. Cage has agreed to help out some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, but it turns out they aren't much good in a fight. You'll need to track down each agent and help them fight some thugs alongside Cage.
Once you're done, return to Cage to unlock the ability to purchase him. Iron Fist can be found between chinatown and Central Park. He's on the hunt for his dragon nemesis Shou Lao. You'll have to beat up a few innocent bystanders in Chinese dragon outfits before Iron Fist learns that maybe Shou Lao hasn't been resurrected after all. Once you're done he will be available for purchase at the store.

Hi-tech inventors over at Solar System Express (Sol-X) and biotech designers Juxtopia LLC (JLLC) are collaborating on this project with a goal of releasing a production model of such a suit by 2016. The project will use a commercial space suit to which will be added augmented reality (AR) goggles, jet packs, power gloves and movement gyros.More recently the Iron Man movies have highlighted Tony Stark, a fictional comic book hero, who invents and uses a powered exoskeleton-like armor that defines him as the super hero “Iron Man." The key elements of Stark’s suit are the jets situated in the boots and the repulsors located in the gauntlets. The repulsors in the 2008 movie are used as a form of propulsion and as steering jets, though they can also be used offensively. The helmet, with projected holographic heads-up display (HUD) and HAL-like artificial intelligence butler JARVIS (Just a Rather Very Intelligent System), tops off the outfit.In real life we have Felix Baumgartner, an Austrian skydiver, daredevil and BASE jumper who set a world record for skydiving an estimated 24.24 miles (39 km), reaching a speed of 843.6 mph (1,357.64 km/h), or Mach 1.25, on October 14, 2012.
His jump from a helium balloon in the stratosphere set the altitude record for a manned balloon flight, parachute jump from the highest altitude and greatest free fall velocity. His suit was designed to provide protection from temperatures of -90° to +100° F (-68° to 38° C) and was pressurized to 3.5 pounds per square inch or roughly equivalent to the atmospheric pressure at 35,000 feet (10,668 meters).In order to achieve their goals, the team must overcome many technical difficulties. The suit must be protected against hostile temperatures, pressures and lack of oxygen. At the heights involved, low pressure may cause decompression sickness or ebullism. There is also the possibility of a suit breach which would cause the space diver to lose both oxygen and protection. Even though supersonic speeds will be achieved, more oxygen must be carried for a longer descent even if not needed.The suit must be capable of withstanding the heat of re-entry and supersonic and hypersonic shock waves.
Furthermore, G-forces are also in play. As the space diver slices through the thin atmosphere to the denser air below, it is possible they would experience positive or negative G-forces from 2-8, which may cause pressure-related complications or even black-outs. Spinning out of control, which actually occurred for roughly 10 seconds during Felix Baumgartner’s descent, can cause blood to pool in the extremities, possibly causing hemorrhages or unconsciousness.The yellow real-life prototype Iron Man suit alongside Felix Baumgartner's Red Bull Stratos suit (Photo: Blaze Sanders/Solar System Express/Red Bull Stratos)Sol-X intends to commence in similar fashion to the Red Bull Stratos jump by first testing the suit with lower-altitude jumps and parachute descents, but the final goal is far more ambitious. Through the use of wingsuit technology and specially-designed boots with miniature aerospike engines attached, the space diver will end his spectacular jump with a glide to Earth and a power-assisted vertical landing.
At least, that's the plan.New York-based Final Frontier Design is working with Sol-X on a customized version of its low-cost Intra-Vehicular Activity IVA 3G spacesuit, successfully crowd funded last year through an online Kickstarter campaign. Lightweight layers of aerogel and Space Shuttle-like flexible insulation blankets will serve as the spacesuit’s outermost protective thermal layer, with Sol-X currently in talks with several wingsuit manufacturers to assist in merging their technology with the RL MARK VI Space Diving Suit .Google Glass, the AR Goggles are first and foremost intended to provide the space diver with a constant stream of vital information to assist in course direction and maintaining the dive within the specified safety parameters. Real-time dynamic analytics keep the diver advised of heart rate, respiration and internal/external space suit temperatures. The display will provide data on rates of acceleration and deceleration, GPS location, and elevation, plus an FAA radar display of the local airspace.
The design of the goggles includes voice control to turn the RL MARK VI’s systems on and off, eject spent hardware components from the diver’s body at different altitudes, manipulate suit cams and lighting, and to control verbal communications to ground control.Mock up HUD display of the hi-tech augmented reality goggles (Photo: Blaze Sanders/Juxtopia)The other main function of the diver’s gyroscopic boots will kick in as he nears the surface of the Earth and he fires off his miniature in-built aerospike thrusters to gently descend to the ground for a feet-first perfect landing. The controllers for the gyroscopic boots will be built into “power gloves” for ease of access.Preliminary CAD design of the RL MARK VI "rocket boots" (Photo: Blaze Sanders/Solar System ExpressAccording to Blaze Sanders, Chief Technology Officer of Sol-X, “The GDB will be the first space-rated open hardware electronic prototyping board, enabling any type of person to create space qualified hardware. The GDB will replace the Arduino Uno as the preferred high-level prototyping environment."
