The Avengers

A modern comic-book superhero pinball playfield photographed under glass, with the whole cabinet and lower apron visible. The layout runs top to bottom: a backbox-style upper panel across the top holds five circular portrait medallions of helmeted and masked characters, over-printed by a large red brush-script logo; small white name labels sit beneath each medallion. Below that, the upper playfield carries a cluster of three round pop-bumper caps with orange-and-cream concentric rings, a raised metal ramp and wire gate on the right, and a dark city-skyline backdrop in grey and blue. The mid-playfield art is a busy comic montage: a large horned-helmeted male figure in dark clothing at centre-left, a blonde woman in a black outfit below him, a dark-haired man in a dark jacket gesturing to the right, and several smaller hero portraits set into triangular and diamond window cut-outs. Six red round bumpers run down the centre-right. Two red post rubbers flank a large grey octagonal insert panel containing a black Avengers-style 'A' arrow logo, surrounded by six small round windows showing faces. Blue-and-cyan triangular inlays with hero art sit at both lower corners. Lower playfield carries a large grey-and-white Avengers wordmark logo above the two flippers. Colours: red, black, gold, silver-grey.

A full-length modern solid-state playfield photographed from above with the illuminated playfield glass in place, so the whole surface is washed in coloured LED light: bright green, blue, magenta and red LEDs dominate the upper half while the lower third stays comparatively dark and matte. Across the very top a black header panel carries a horizontal row of about seven comic-book character head portraits, each in its own square cell with a small name caption underneath, and a red seven-segment LED score display glowing in the upper centre-right. Red-and-white-blue shield stickers occupy the two top corners. The upper playfield is dense with chrome wireforms, curved metal ramps, posts and rubber-sleeved guides, plus a large green-lit sculptural figure group on the upper left and a raised red-and-blue mechanical structure on the upper right. The middle of the field is comparatively open, showing printed artwork of a dark green forest or jungle scene with a large pale circular emblem. Two red-tinted circular bumpers cap a V-shaped lower-middle area formed by angled guides and illuminated arrow inserts. The very bottom carries three rectangular printed cards plus a black rubber apron, and a row of small character portraits runs along the front cabinet edge.

Painted comic-book ensemble backglass. A huge red, white and blue five-pointed star shield, tilted in perspective, dominates the centre, ringed by white energy sparks. Above it, a red-and-silver block-letter title logo with a small white THE tucked into the A. Seven costumed figures crowd around the shield: a green-skinned, black-haired, bare-chested muscular man at upper left with a clenched fist; a red-haired woman in a dark catsuit and long gloves reaching forward at lower left; a helmeted man in a blue cowl with a white A on his brow at centre; an iron-red and gold armoured figure with a glowing chest reactor and lit eye lenses at right; a brown-haired man in dark blue and silver armour with round blue chest discs and raised gauntleted fists at upper right; a man in dark goggles and a sleeveless top at far right holding a pistol-like weapon; and a smaller gold-and-red figure at lower right. Background is a deep navy night sky with diagonal speed lines and a futuristic city of blue-grey towers. Dominant colours: navy blue, red, white, gold.

A movie-poster style backglass, seen through a dark window frame with a black border. Six figures charge forward against a rubble-strewn, smoke-filled city street: a huge green muscular humanoid with a torn purple trouser waistband left of centre; a red-and-gold armoured figure with a glowing white chest reactor and a raised gauntlet shooting a yellow beam; a blue-and-red masked man with a white star on his chest, screaming and charging at right; a blonde bearded man in a dark textured suit with red cape raising a hammer overhead at top centre; a red-haired woman in a sleeveless black bodysuit punching forward at upper left; and a lean man in dark goggles and a black sleeveless vest drawing a bow at upper right. Two enormous faces loom behind them: a pale cracked female face at top left, and a wide-eyed screaming face behind the hero group. Burnt-out buildings, girders and orange flame fill the background. The lower half is dominated by a huge bevelled gold-and-cream block logo with the word THE inside the initial A. Dominant colours: gold, red, green, blue-black.

A single muscular male superhero, bare-chested with an enormous exaggerated chest and shoulders, lunges toward the viewer in mid-leap. He has short dark hair, heavy black brow, a snarling open-mouthed expression, and a torn olive-green and white sleeveless top hanging open across his shoulders with frayed strips flying. His right arm is cocked back with a clenched fist, his left arm thrusts forward with a huge fist and forearm smashing through a metal structure at the right, throwing orange sparks and yellow-green light. Everything is drenched in a sickly yellow-green radioactive glow. The background is a dark industrial interior of tilted grey steel beams, girders, riveted plates and cable runs receding in perspective, with a heavy black vignette in the top left corner. Small chunks of masonry and glowing yellow sparks fly around him. Across the lower half sits a huge metallic silver and white bevelled logo reading THE AVENGERS, the A oversized and taller than the rest, with a small red-and-white MARVEL block logo above the V-E. In white italic capitals below the final S is HULK. A second small red MARVEL logo box appears in the bottom left corner. A red script manufacturer logo with a silver circular medallion and a small registered trademark symbol sits bottom right.

A backbox/translite photographed in a dim arcade, showing a comic-book ensemble of three green-tinted male super-heroes lunging forward out of shattered grey concrete. The central hero is bare-chested and muscular with short dark hair, roaring with a snarling open-mouthed grimace, his right arm cocked back into a huge clenched fist filling the upper left of the frame. To his left a second grimacing man leans in with a scowl, and at the right edge a third figure with a clenched raised fist stares forward, his torso partly hidden behind the logo. Rubble, broken masonry shards and dust spray across a dark green-black background. Spanning the lower half is a huge metallic silver title with a thick black drop shadow: a large blocky 'A' on the left with the small word 'THE' set inside the A's crossbar, and the letters 'AVENGERS' running right in slanted, extruded chrome lettering. A small red-and-white MARVEL logo box sits above the middle of the title. Lower right is the small white signature 'HULK'. A green plastic bezel at the very top frames the lit backbox, and below the artwork a dot-matrix display glows green with several lines of text.

A full-colour painted backglass dominated by a huge muscular green male figure lunging toward the viewer, occupying the upper centre. He has shaggy black hair, a heavy brow, bared white teeth in a grimacing snarl, and exaggerated bulging chest, shoulder and arm muscles; he is shirtless and bare-chested, with torn straps and fragments of debris flying around him, and one huge fist thrust forward toward the lower right of the frame. Behind him, a grey-blue city skyline and shattered building facades fill the left and right edges, with grey building slabs and window grids receding into the background. Across the lower middle sits a huge title logo: a tall angular capital A drawn as a white-and-silver chevron, with the small word THE tucked inside the crossbar, followed by AVENGERS in very wide, slanted, italic chrome-white capitals with a dark grey outline and drop shadow. A small red-and-white MARVEL block sits directly above the V and E, and the name HULK is lettered in green to the lower right of the logo. A small red MARVEL logo appears at the lower left corner. Dominant colours are olive and acid green, grey-blue, black, and white. Painted comic-book airbrush style, strongly lit from the upper left.
