21 Years Ago Today, an Iconic Marvel Team Made Their First Appearance (And They’ve Only Gotten Better With Time)

As a lifelong comic book fan, I’ve seen a lot of teen superhero teams from Marvel – the New Mutants, the Champions, you name it. But the Young Avengers always felt different. They weren’t just another group of kids with powers; they were actively inspired by the original Avengers, even borrowing elements of their costumes and abilities. And honestly, their impact has been huge. Even though they haven’t been featured as much in the comics lately, I think the Young Avengers are more important now than ever, especially because they consistently question the established order and push for change. They really shake things up!
