The YA are very much in continuity. And so far they seem to each have really tight ties to various corners of the Marvel Universe. However, the schtick so far is that they tend to have misleading ties to the Marvel Universe.
They were gathered together by "Iron Lad" (who was actually a younger Knag, playing superhero after Kan gtied to accelerate his transformation into Kang) who dug up the Vision's inert body and recovered the Vison's records of super-powered youth that had some connection to the Avengers. And then Hijynx ensue.
In regards to the misdirection? There's a character who when introduced was called "Hulkling" and was portrayed as some sort of mini Hulk... however, while super-strong, he's actually a shape-shifter and appears, in fact, to be some sort of Kree-Skrull crossbreed. His boyfriend was introduced as the "Asgardian" but his powers are actually Dr. Strange Style magic and not Asgard-based. (And to further complicate matters, the magician "Wiccan" -formerly Asgardian- just met the team's new member who is the same age as him, looks almost exaclty like him, has white hair and super-speed powers. Man it would be awesome if they were Wanda and Pietro's love children :P)
And to make this on topic. The Avengers have tried to shut them down several times, up to an including outing them to their parents/guardians and thay've thumbed their nose at the Avengers each time... and now the re-activated Vision has joined. And during Civil War the book is going on hiatus and a new book "Runaways/Young Avengers" will be running. |
