You have no idea how big those questions are.
There have been many different heroes in the Avengers over the years, and many different divisions. As for S.H.I.E.L.D., well, they're a little more complex. In short, they're a mysterious extra-government organization that "watches over us." S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't always include superheroes per se, but a few have been "employed" within the ranks. Really, instead of me writing a history, you should spend some time reading:
Avengers - Marvel Universe: The definitive online source for Marvel super hero bios. (just look at the former members section. See what I mean?
)
Also see
S.H.I.E.L.D - Marvel Universe.
Needless to say, I was thrilled that the film included both.
