The '''Young Avengers''' are the names of two [[superhero]] teams appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]]. Created by [[Allan Heinberg]] and [[Jim Cheung]], the first team appeared in ''Young Avengers'' #1 (April 2005).<ref>{{Cite magazine |title=Why Marvel Movies Are Obsessed With Parent-Child Relationships |url=https://time.com/6193759/marvel-young-avengers-parents-kids/ |access-date=2023-02-03 |magazine=Time |date=8 July 2022 |language=en |archive-date=2023-02-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230203223926/https://time.com/6193759/marvel-young-avengers-parents-kids/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The Young Avengers team features numerous adolescent characters who typically have connections to established members of Marvel's primary superhero team, the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Brevoort |first1=Tom |last2=DeFalco |first2=Tom |last3=Manning |first3=Matthew K. |last4=Sanderson |first4=Peter |last5=Wiacek |first5=Win |title=Marvel Year By Year: A Visual History |date=2017 |publisher=DK Publishing |isbn=978-1465455505 |page=325}}</ref>
''Young Avengers'' follows the events of the 2004–2005 "[[Avengers Disassembled]]" storyline. The four founding members of the team are gathered as a result of the [[Vision (Marvel Comics)#Modern Age|Vision]]'s plan for the reformation of the Avengers in the event the team disbanded. In the series, newspapers refer to the young heroes as "super-powered [[fanboy]]s" and label them the "Young Avengers", a name the team members initially dislike but that sticks nonetheless.

===Volume 1===
In "Sidekicks" (issues #1–6), reporters [[Jessica Jones]] (a former teen superhero known as Jewel) and Kat Farrell of ''[[Daily Bugle|The Daily Bugle]]'' and heroes Captain America and Iron Man investigate a new group of teenage heroes. The story is set in the time between the "[[Avengers Disassembled]]" storyline and the beginning of ''[[The New Avengers (comics)|New Avengers]]''. Although the team defeats [[Kang the Conqueror]], Captain America and Iron Man take away their gear and refuse to train the team without their parents' consent. Despite the heroes' warnings, the team continues with a new headquarters, new costumes, and new names.
In "Secret Identities" (issues #7–8), the Young Avengers must decide how much to tell their parents after the members decide to continue acting publicly. None of their parents find out. During a fight with [[Mister Hyde (
At the insistence of Kat Farrell, Jessica Jones interviews the Young Avengers about their pasts.<ref>''Young Avengers Special'' #1</ref> Cassie Lang had a troubled home life, especially after her father [[Ant-Man (Scott Lang)|Ant-Man]] died. She and her mother constantly fought, and she hated her mother's boyfriend. Had the Young Avengers not formed, Cassie planned to join the [[Runaways (comics)|Runaways]]. Teddy Altman abused his shapeshifting powers to spend time with a more popular kid. He realized that he had gone too far when his "friend" tried to force him to steal artifacts from the destroyed [[Avengers Mansion]]. Billy Kaplan had a problem with being accepted because of his sexuality. He was tormented and physically abused. He met the [[Scarlet Witch]], who explained that being different is not bad. He eventually stands up to his tormentor for another kid. He nearly kills him when his powers become dominant. Kate Bishop was brutally assaulted in a park. Eli Bradley used MGH because he felt powerless against some thugs and wanted to prove that his grandfather truly was the black Captain America.

Heinberg, who is gay, initially assumed that Marvel would not permit him to include gay characters in the series. Consequently, early drafts of Hulkling conceived of the character as a female shapeshifter named Chimera who would discover that her true form was male; this would prompt Wiccan to be forced to decide whether to stay in the relationship, which Heinberg described as "a very long, convoluted way to sneak a gay love story into a mainstream Marvel comic".<ref name="GayTimes"/> After editor [[Tom Brevoort]] suggested that the story could be simplified by making both characters gay, the character's origin was revised to Heinberg's original vision.<ref name="GayTimes"/> Heinberg described the process of creating a gay character in a mainstream comic as ultimately "far easier" than creating a gay character in a mainstream television series, which he ascribed to the lower budgets (and thus lower financial risk) of comic books.<ref name="GayTimes"/> Heinberg reported that a majority of the letters to the editor about the series' gay subject material were positive, with "only one or two" that were "blatantly homophobic".<ref name="GayTimes"/>

In 2019, Heinberg and Cheung reunited to author "The Celebration Dinner", a Young Avengers story in ''Marvel Comics'' #1000. The issue is an anthology of eighty single-page stories by eighty creative teams, released to mark the 80th anniversary of Marvel Comics.<ref name="Marvel1000"/>
