The Defenders
The Defenders was a comic book series about a loosely-organized team of superheroes in the Marvel Comics universe.
Two members of the Defenders, the Hulk and Namor the Sub-Mariner, appeared in two cross-over story arcs prior to the official founding of the team. The first, (in Doctor Strange #183 (November 1969), Sub-Mariner #22 (February 1970), and The Incredible Hulk #126 (April 1970)) also featured Doctor Strange, with each individual future Defender drawn together to protect the earth from invasion by Lovecraftean inter-planar beings known as the Undying Ones. In the second arc, (featured in Sub-Mariner #34 and #35, February and March 1971), Namor enlists the aid of the Silver Surfer and the Hulk to stop a potentially devastating weather control experiment (and to inadvertently free a small island nation from a dictator).
The Defenders Movies
The team proper has never been depicted in other media, but a disguised version has. This appears in the animated television series, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited which each have an episode that feature a subgroup of DC Comics superheroes who play the equivalent roles of their Marvel Comics version.
