This enabled them to make use of more established figures than those in the Young Avengers comics, one of their debut stories. In an unusual move, Marvel Comics declined to reveal the premise of the Young Avengers comics, and rumors flew thick and furious that the Young Avengers was simply a knockoff of DC Comics' Teen Titans. The four members of the new series, each bears a resemblance in physical traits and characteristics, to existing characters. The Young Avengers include Iron Lad (similar to Iron Man), whose main weapon is a metal suit that reacts to his thoughts; Wiccan (a melding of Thor and the Scarlet Witch), whose talents lie in spell casting; Patriot (Captain America), who is the grandson of the first black super-hero; and the Hulkling (Hulk), who is able to change shape, and possesses super strength and healing abilities. The year is 3016 in the alternate universe known as Other Earth, and robotics student Nathaniel Richards meets his future self, who gives him a suit of armor that responds to his thoughts and gives him a glimpse of what lies ahead. The founder of the Young Avengers is so horrified that he travels back in time to seek the help of the Avengers in destroying Kang, who is what he will become one day. But the Avengers have disbanded, so Iron Lad recovers a CPU unit from Vision the Android, which has information pointing to where future super-powered heroes were located. Gathering three others to his cause, the Young Avengers band together to face not only evil influences, but some ticked off parents and the original Avengers who want to send them home to study.
