Teenage Heroes Rock

As you all know, I've been obcessed with comic books lately. I'm hoarding megabytes of 'em of the torrents like the bloody leecher I am. I know I'm doing something illegal, but buying comics in Singapore isn't really simple. Particularly because when people say comics, they think manga, but technically, they're different, because one is comics and one is manga.

I went to Comics Connection and wondered where Spider-man was. Shitz.

On top of the Civil-War (Powers are forced to register with the Government; half are willing, the other, unwilling. Fighting ensues. Thor gets cloned, FF4 is split up, Hulk is in space, Ironman becomes Hitler, etc), two groups of teenage heroes have caught my attention.

I love teenagers, in every sense of "I love teenagers" possible. And reading about super-heroes who are teenagers? It's awesome. They experience the same everyday traumas we go through, and at the same time, they have to save the world. They fall in love, become homosexuals...there's even a dose of asexual love, if you look hard enough.

The Young Avengers


They're a group of heroes comprising of Avenger fanboys. There's a gay-couple inside, and I love reading about them.

Wiccan and Hulkling. Wiccan is a mutant spell-caster, the douche with blue sparks coming from his hand. His power is...well he cast spells by saying what he wants over and over likethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethislikethis. Hulkling is an alien...his mother is a Kree and his father is a Skrull (don't ask)...the inter-species mating is mind-blowing. His ability is to morph into anything he wants, and he chooses to look like the Hulk. How fucked up is that? ANNDS...he can choose to morph into a female, since technically, he's neither, but chooses not to because Wiccan's GAY.

What the hell. The team-mates act like everything's normal, but they're not normal themselves. The guy in black is called Patriot, and he's on drugs to maek himself superhuman, the robot in green is Vision and he's in love with the arrow girl, even though he's a robot. The big girl, Stature, can change in size...hmm...

The Runaways


They're typical rebellious teens. They're parents are super villians, but they choose to be heroes to piss them off. Perfect. The world loves a rebel.

The girl with flaming hair is called Lucy In The Sky. God, that's a mouthful. She's a lesbian, and was in love with the girl with the staff, Nico Minoru. Thankfully, kawaii Nico-chan is straight. So Lucy In The Sky settles for Xavin, who was a male, but for Lucy's lesbian conveniences, transforms into a female.

These teenagers are crazy.
