Young Avengers – Family Matters | Comics

Before going to public, Young Avengers members came face to face with an extraterrestrial threat and their parents.

Idolizing original group of Avengers, young heroes Hawkeye, Hulkling, Patriot, Stature and Wiccan were banded together by Iron Lad to form Young Avengers to homage to their fallen heroes. Together they were able to defeat Kang the Conqueror but were forced by Captain America and Iron Man to discontinue their adventures.

Nevertheless, Kate Bishop has managed them new costumes and they continued fighting bad guys. Seeing them reappear in news, Cap decides to talk to their parents while the heroes get entangled with Mister Hyde to save their friend Eli Bradley, who has been using mutant growth hormone and doesn't have any superpowers of his own.

Eli quits team because of lying to his friends and tries to move on with a normal life but his friends showed up to talk to him. Their exchange is cut short by the arrival of Super-Skrull, who attempts to grab Hulkling and abduct him. Billy and Cassie immediately jumped in to rescue Teddy from his clutches before he could run away.

Hulkling uses his super-strength to lose him and then ran with his friends but Super-Skrull showed up at Billy's house with Eli as his hostage. Kl'rt states that he is a Skrull and he needs to return home but Teddy Altman refuses his claims. Revealing that his mother, Mrs. Altman is a Skrull as well before killing her, Super-Skrull took him away.

Remaining members of Young Avengers went to Avengers Mansion to seek help in finding Teddy. Edwin Jarvis tells them to wait while he contacts The Avengers but they are offered assistance by Vision in locating more heroes like them and they all head to a juvenile detention facility in New Jersey to rescue speedster Thomas Shepherd.

Cassie points out that Billy and Tommy could be twins before they make an escape out of there. Eli makes it clear to him that they want a hero on their team and not a super-powered teenage terrorist. Elsewhere in a remote location, Super-Skrull tries to contact all Skrull member-worlds announcing to have gotten Dorrek VIII, referring to Teddy.

Hulking always believed that he was a mutant but Kl'rt asserts that he is a son of Skrull Princess Anelle of Skrull Empire and Mrs. Altman was merely a nursemaid of hers. When he was ordered to be executed by Emperor Dorrek VII, his mother sent him off world with her so he could live and reunite with his father someday but he never did.

However, conversation is interrupted by Young Avengers sudden breaking in and subdued Super-Skrull. As he was about to tell Teddy about his father, a Kree soldier shot him out of nowhere who claims that he is a Kree, not a Skrull. Captain Av-Rom of Kree Imperial Militia then tells Hulking that he is the son of late Captain Marvel.

Also, he insisted that Teddy has to join Imperial Milita and attacks him on his refusal to do so but Kl'rt shot at them back so Hulking can escape. Their friends make quick work of remaining Kree soldiers before heading to Avengers Tower. Super-Skrull confirms that Billy and Tommy are in fact lost twin sons of Scarlet Witch, which Vision verifies.

When a Skrull warship came to respond to Kl'rt, they are attacked by another Kree ship but Teddy manages to stand them down. Captain America, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Sentry, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman and Wolverine took notice of what is going on and shows up on scene to work out a treaty but ended up fighting armies of both sides.

Young Avengers – Family Matters

After a successful debut through "Sidekicks" storyline, Marvel Comics brings back writer Allan Heinberg (Avengers – The Children's Crusade, Young Avengers – Sidekicks) and artist Jim Cheung (Astonishing X-Men – Life of X, Avengers & X-Men – Axis) for another exciting adventure of Young Avengers in "Family Matters" in 2007.

These young heroes came to know unknown revelation from the time of "Kree-Skrull War", which involved legacy of their parents. Over custody of team-member Hulking, an alien invasion almost broke out between Kree and Skrulls on Earth that even dragged New Avengers into this mess until each party managed to find their own peace.

Captain Marvel | Comics

A hero from a distant world and an alien by race, Mar-Vell of the Kree Empire was always a recognizable symbol for heroism and considered as one of the greatest heroes of all time. He was a white-skinned Kree minority who was on a mission to observe Earth on behalf of the Empire. His superior Colonel Yon-Rogg’s attempt to kill him by sending Kree Sentry #459 after him revealed Mar-Vell on public while he defeated it and the crowd immediately dubbed him as Captain Marvel.

Yon-Rogg even misled Ronan the Accuser against him and this internal conflict ran until the Supreme Intelligence finally intervened. Later on Earth, he found himself trapped in the realm of Negative Zone, which he later swapped place with young adventurer Rick Jones via his "Nega-Bands".

He confronted Fantastic Four and The Avengers while trying to get rid of this complexity when Kree/Skrull War took place. Mar-Vell soon acquires ‘Cosmic Awareness’ and become the protector of the universe as he stood up against The Mad Titan; Thanos. He later faced the villainous Nitro who exposed him to lethal nerve gas and ‘The Death of Captain Marvel’ became imminent.

Heroes like Drax, Spider-Man and The Thing came to pay their final respect to him and his son Genis-Vell, also an alternate reality daughter Phyla-Vell continued his legacy. During Civil War, he was brought from past through a wrinkle in space. He’d eventually die protecting the others during "Avengers Vs. X-Men" and Carol Danvers; former Ms. Marvel will take the mantle of Captain Marvel.

The Thing | Comics

Born and grown up on a troubled family of Manhattan's lower East Side or more specifically on the neighborhood of Yancy Street, Benjamin Jacob Grimm struggled his way to high school. He played football as the "Grimm Reaper" for the State University of New York and befriended brilliant science student Reed Richards who was eager to build a starship for space travel and Grimm promised to pilot Reed’s ship if he can do so.

He joined the U.S. Air Force and returned as a test pilot who eventually flies the ship that Reed built to space along with their friend Susan and her brother Johnny Storm. But as they encountered a storm of cosmic radiation in space, the ship was unable to shield them from its effect and they immediately returned home aborting the mission.

The cosmic radiation altered all of their DNA to cellular level, giving them superpowers and causing change. Grimm had turned into an orange-colored, rock-skinned super-strong being who is dubbed as “The Thing”. Together they decided to help humanity with their new-found gifts and formed the Fantastic Four. Not only he was a part of saving Earth from Galactus but he is often the key to their victory.

Grimm dates a blind sculptress Alicia Masters and also has history of fighting the Hulk, Silver Surfer and Wolverine. He was drafted to Secret Wars, even was killed by Dr. Doom and later brought back to life by his friends (Hereafter). He became one of the worthies of The Serpent who battled Thor as well as the Red Hulk (Avengers – Fear Itself).
