The game is prioritizing pure mechanics over canon, and having spent some time with it at PAX East, it seems to be pulling it off beautifully.
Gazillion Entertainment announced at its PAX East panel that early access to Marvel Heroes will be available on May 28th, with the full launch following on June 4. The panel also gave details on PvP, end-game content, and an expansion to the closed beta access.
Captain America may have been the first Avenger, but there's no shame in being the second or third.
