Young Avengers/Characters

Elijah "Eli" Bradley/Patriot II

"The black Captain America (comics) is no myth. He's my grandfather. And I wanted to be just like him. I wanted to carry on his legacy."

"Okay, this completely violates Growing Man continuity."

Ascended Fanboy
Interspecies Romance with Hulkling
Jewish and Nerdy
Momma's Boy: Or pretty attached to his (adoptive) family, at least, as seen when Steve Rogers announces he is one of the heroes necessary to maintain the safety of the world at the start of Heroic Age. His response:

"Uh... I might have to ask my mom."

- Towards Scarlet Witch as well, as demonstrated by all he goes through in Children's Crusade.
Person of Mass Destruction: The Avengers are now understandably wary of the idea that he could take out an entire team of bad guys in an instant without even meaning to.
Pop-Cultured Badass
Reality Warper: At his most dangerous.
Secret Legacy
Shock and Awe
The Smart Guy
Invisible to Gaydar: Eh, he was at first, but he seems to be getting more and more flamboyant every time he shows up.
- Comparing his first appearances with his latest he's about as manly as Spiderman
Squishy Wizard: The most powerful guy on the team -- provided he can get out the words for his spells.
Tangled Family Tree: He's one of the sons of Scarlet Witch, reborn into a new biological family. This means he can count Tommy, aka 'Speed' as his twin brother, and Magneto and Quicksilver as his grandfather and uncle, respectively. And don't start on all the people he could conceivably call 'father'...
Unfortunate Names: He changed his codename to 'Wiccan' when it was pointed out to him what the media would do with a gay superhero named 'Asgardian.'

"Not bad for a girl with no powers, huh?"

Action Girl
The Archer
Badass Normal
Bare Your Midriff
Cool Shades
Crimefighting with Cash
Desperately Looking for a Purpose In Life
Jumped At the Call: She wasn't a part of the Vision's Failsafe Program, nor does she have any actual connection to Avengers history. She saw the team in action and wanted in.
The Lancer
Legacy Character: Clint tested her during his 'Ronin' phase, and doesn't seem to mind sharing the name now that he's back to being Hawkeye himself.
Rape as Backstory: Strongly implied by her origin story in Young Avengers Annual #1, then never brought up again.

Ascended Fanboy
Beware the Nice Ones
The Big Guy
Gentle Giant: In YA #1, the newspaper's caption for him was "Teen-Hulk was very polite" and showed him comforting small children.
Hulking Out: Pointedly averted. Well, unless his boyfriend's in danger.
Hybrid Monster though he's really not all that monstrous. Most of the time, anyway.
Interspecies Romance with Wiccan
Parental Abandonment
Invisible to Gaydar
Super Strength
Tell Me About My Father
Tomato in the Mirror: He assumed he was a mutant, only to find out that he's actually a Skrull-Kree hybrid.
- King Bob the Nth: Much to his own surprise, he's not only half-Skrull, he's heir to the entire Skrull Empire.
Voluntary Shapeshifting
Winged Humanoid

Affirmative Action Legacy
Action Girl
The Chick
Disappeared Dad: Her father, Scott Lang. As of Children's Crusade, not so disappeared.
Domino Mask
Hair of Gold
Killed Off for Real
Psychoactive Powers: She grows when she gets angry and shrinks when she feels guilty.
Sizeshifter

Big Brother Instinct: To Wiccan especially, even though they are twins and neither actually knows which one is older, and also to Molly Hayes.
Different As Night and Day
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: His codename.
Secret Legacy
Sixth Ranger
Super Speed
Tangled Family Tree: See above under Wiccan's entry.
Token Evil Teammate: Or as Billy describes him, the "team sociopath".
