Assemble Your Own Avengers Music Video Remix Kris, May 12, 2012 Aside from a ridiculous amount of Assemble puns, Marvel has a new YouTube channel that allows you to piece together a music video.

Don’t think you get anything uploaded to your channel either. They take ownership of your work but you still get credited in the title.
