Young Avengers
“So when you said the words ‘Young Avengers’ to me, I was initially thrown, since the Avengers didn’t have teen sidekicks from which to build a team. But the idea of creating a group of teenage super heroes in the Avengers universe was irresistible to me. The one question I couldn’t answer for myself in that initial meeting was ‘Who are the Young Avengers?’ Which turned out to be the perfect question for a book about teenagers, since being a teenager is all about the beginning of one’s search for identity. And that question, ‘Who are the Young Avengers,’ haunted me such a degree that it became the soul of my subsequent pitch.” Allan Heinberg, writer and producer on “The O.C.”
