This is another entry from the Marvel Comics 2 universe, AKA MC-2. The current universe of characters has been saving mankind from various menaces for almost forty years. The entire concept had been derived from the original characters getting older and slower. As a result, it was decided that the originals’ progeny should replace the originals. In fact, this new team nearly resembles the original Avengers’ abilities of a man—or woman. Imagine the level of brainstorming and the amount of coffee consumed fleshing out that premise. Instead of ‘been there, done that’ it’s ‘been nowhere, done nothing’. It establishes a lighthearted tone and wide-eyed approach for this book. Unfortunately, Marvel’s hardcore audience wholeheartedly rejected the kids. The book was cancelled after a print run of only twelve issues.
