[The Punisher]

Thanks.

Patriot
Speed
Stature
Vision II
Hulking
Wiccan

Recently in issue #12 of the series, Kate Bishop took the name Hawkeye. Setting herself up as the second person to now hold the name. Reason being was due to standing up to Captain America when Patriot was injured, after giving an order to the team to live normal lives. After is when Jessica Jones gave her Clint's bow with regards from Captain America, because Clint was the only one who used to stand up to him like that.

Because the team is with The Resistance in Civil War, it was said that Nick Fury was working on new identites for them. Same for everyone else in the group.

Also, there's a Young Avengers thread right here.

The team as of now:

Hawkeye II (Kate Bishop)--daughter of a wealthy businessman; no powers but she trained heavily in unarmed and armed combat with a variety of weapons after being raped
Patriot (Elijah Bradley)--grandson of Isaiah Bradley, the only survivor of the original Captain America experiments on black soldiers; originally powered by MGH, now super-strength and super-senses (that we know of so far) from a blood transfusion from his Super-Soldier Serum-enhanced grandfather
Hulkling (Teddy Altman)--son of Kree Captain Mar-Vell and the Skrull empress; super-strength and shapeshifting powers
Wiccan (Billy Kaplan)--suspected to be the son of the Scarlet Witch and the Vision; magic powers
Stature (Cassandra Lang)--daughter of Ant-Man Scott Lang; enlargement and reduction powers thanks to prolonged exposure to her father's Pym Particles
Vision II--futuristic armor with the original Vision's core programming, given sentience by absorbing Iron Lad's brain engrams; super-strength, density manipulation, energy blasts, and likely much more, but he seems to be limiting himself to just the powers the original Vision had for some reason
Speed (Tommy Shepherd)--suspected to be the son of the Scarlet Witch and the Vision; super-speed and the ability to vibrate the molecules of other objects until they explode

 

[Vartha]

more than I remember

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Dammit, I want Iron Lad back. He was my favourite, and they got rid of him before the tenth issue.

You sir are a machine!

 

[Vartha]

Wasn't Iron lad Kang or something like that?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes, he was. He left the Young Avengers so that he could fulfill his destiny and ensure that Kang would exist in the future because, apparently, if Kang didn't exist the world would be a much worse place.

You sir are a machine!

Thanks, but Wikipedia helped me remember some of the names and made sure I had all the current members accounted for.

 

[deemar325]

Yes, a younger version who traveled to our time.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Though that was definitely weird, since technically, according to every other "alter the future" thing, doing that wouldn't really harm the time line, it would just create a NEW timeline in the future. Otherwise there wouldn't be a new Kang for each time he jumps in time and alters it.

Iron Lad was pure awesome.

 

[Vartha]

never got the books, just read the bits and pieces on-line. and it urked me that Wiccan wasn't asgardian

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I was hoping for Wiccan to be Loki's son, myself. Oh well, the current idea that he may be the Scarlet Witch and the Vision's son is cool, too.

Yeah, but there was also the alternate time travel procedure that Doom used, which could result in the timeline being preserved. I guess Kang might've switched to that method after Avengers Forever left him the lone Kang in all the multiverse.

Still sucked that Iron Lad had to go. Maybe he'll pop up later, since technically, he'll HAVE to use the old technology to preserve the timeline, creating more Kang's in the process.

*Hopes.*

You want a gay superhero running around named 'Ass-Guardian'?

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I thought it would be a rather funny thing. Kind of like how Power Girl is always the fall back joke where she appears often enough.

 

[Vartha]

What you callin Thor gay lol

 

[deemar325]

Well it would be hilarious!

 

[deemar325]

What you callin Thor gay lol

Maybe?

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

What you callin Thor gay lol

He'd probably say, "Of course my friend! I am most gay!" And people would just sit there and laugh about how he didn't get the joke.

 

[deemar325]

Lmao!!!

 

[Vartha]

Sheesh glad I'm not sitting next to you

 

[The_Vision]

I wish they gave Vision his memories back or let him join the New Avengers

 

[GNR]

What's the deal with Speed?How come he isn't present during CW when it's clear he sticks with the team at the end of #12?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe it'll be explained in Runaways/Young Avengers. He's obviously the fastest of the bunch. Maybe they sent him off to search for the Scarlet Witch so they could confront her about Billy and Tommy.

I wish they gave Vision his memories back or let him join the New Avengers

I'd like the Vision to get his memories back too, but I think he works better on the Young Avengers. Plus, I'm growing to like the new Vision. Maybe the original Vision can come back in a few years' time.
