History
Origin
The Invaders
Originally, Captain America, his sidekick Bucky, the original android Human Torch, the Torch's sidekick Toro, and Namor the Sub-Mariner were together as heroes opposing the forces of Nazism. When these superheroes saved the life of Britain's Prime Minister Winston Churchill from Master Man, the thankful Churchill suggested that they should become a team, known as the Invaders. (Giant-Size Invaders v1 #1)
During a mission, the team were allied with Major Liberty where ucky, Human Torch and Namor discovered Baron Strucker had acquired a powerful artifact named the Gods' Whisperer. This relic allowed him to control Asgardian gods where the Nazi's used it to make Hela fight the Allies. (All-New Invaders v1 #1) Strucker was defeated, and Hela returned to her realm, and the Invaders were left with the Whisperer. They decided the artifact was too powerful to be in control of anyone, and decided to break it into three pieces each of them would hide from anyone. With the help of The Vision, they came to forget the events of this mission in an effort to hide the existence of this weapon. (All-New Invaders v1 #2)
In 1942, the Invaders were deployed in Britain where they met Lord James Montgomery Falsworth, the original Union Jack. He came to join the team and provided them with a base of operations in England. (Invaders v1 #7)
In December of 1943, the Invaders were sent to Monte Cassino in Italy in order to retrieve a highly coveted weapon known as the Ordnung Zeitgeist before Hitler's forces could lay claim to it. They encountered a strange green mist that propelled them sixty years into the future where they encountered their modern day successors, the Avengers. (Avengers/Invader v1 #1)

Years later, after Namor was kidnapped by the Kree to obtain the location of his piece of the Gods' Whisperer, Jimmy Hammond and the Winter Soldier were attacked by Kree soldiers, who used a special device in each of them to obtain the information of the location of each one of their pieces. With the help of Captain America, the Winter Soldier managed to save the Human Torch from his attackers, and decided to reform the Invaders in order to rescue Namor from Hala, the Kree homeworld, and prevent the aliens from using the Whisperer.
