d00d that was Lo-tron duh lol. Cary, having a horde would allow everyone to have their shining moment in a fight, but I still think you need that Final Boss for them to fight together. To show off that they are not a collection of individuals but a team and all that.
Cap: "Hulk, Thor, front and center. Iron Man, keep him pinned down. Widow, take out the computer. Hawkeye, you know what to do." Essentially we need a scene of Cap barking orders which leads to the Big Bad being defeated by one of Hawkeye's arrows or some such display of teamwork.
