In this case, we're talking about the perseverance required to come together as a team. The Avengers aren't exactly well-organized in the beginning, and all those super egos have a way of getting in each other's way.

Questions about Perseverance
- How do divisions between the heroes make perseverance more important?
- Which characters understand that they need to work together early on, and which characters take time to figure it out? Are there any similarities between the characters on either side?
- How does Loki show perseverance? Does his approach match the heroes' in any way? If so, how?
