This summer, assembling Avengers and smashing Hulks are coming to your TV screen.

With a hit already under its belt with Ultimate Spider-Man, Disney XD is raiding the pages of Marvel Comics for two new animated series. Marvel's Avengers Assemble, featuring the main characters from the movie The Avengers, debuts a special one-hour preview on May 26 with the series premiere to follow July 7. Then Marvel's Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. is added to the "Marvel Universe" lineup beginning Aug. 11. (All episodes are at 11 a.m. ET/PT.)

Avengers Assemble brings together Earth's mightiest heroes - Iron Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, Thor and Black Widow, with the addition of newcomer Falcon - who work out of Avengers Tower and save the world from the likes of Doctor Doom undersea baddie Attuma and the vampire horde of Dracula.

Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. stars the original, incredible Hulk, and while the world thinks he's a monster, pal Rick Jones aims to chronicle the big green guy and his family and friends all living under the same roof - cousin She-Hulk, A-Bomb, Red Hulk and Skaar - and change the public perception of them. Plus, there will be lots of smashing.

Among the voice talent, Heroes star Adrian Pasdar is Iron Man and Fred Tatasciore pulls double duty as Hulk on both Avengers and Agents of S.M.A.S.H. The Hulk series also features Eliza Dushku as She-Hulk, Clancy Brown as Red Hulk and Seth Green as A-Bomb.
