Heroic Age
As part of the Heroic Age line-wide reboot, a new team and ongoing series was introduced, written by Sean McKeever, with art by David Baldeon. McKeever has said:
| “ | The idea behind Young Allies is that it's literally a group of young allies. It's not so much a team in the conventional sense as it is a group of like-minded people of the same generation. The basic idea for the book is that they're fighting for the soul of their generation. That comes to the fore immediately with the introduction of the Bastards of Evil, who are the unwanted sons and daughters of supervillains of course.... | ” |
Members include Nomad, Firestar, Spider-Girl, Gravity, and Toro (Benito Serrano). The series was cancelled with Young Allies #6. They become a team in Onslaught Unleashed #1, and appear afterward in Avengers Academy Giant-Size #1 (80-page one-shot) and the Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt mini-series, both alongside the Avengers Academy.

“Heroic ages are not and never were sentimental and those daring conquistadores who conquered entire worlds for their Spain or Portugal received lamentably little thanks from their kings.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are—
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Winter and summer till old age began
My circus animals were all on show,
Those stilted boys, that burnished chariot,
Lion and woman and the Lord knows what.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
