The Experts
Black Widow and Hawkeye are two of the top performing agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s black ops division, and we clearly see why here. The two of them take out over 500 Chitauri sleeper agents with little or no help from the regular backup. The rest of the Ultimates are briefed on the Chitauri, shapeshifting aliens who have been manipulating Earth history and politics since 1777. Captain America is absent from the briefing, though, as he has taken it upon himself to track down Hank Pym.
