Champions
A young man named Nathaniel Richards wearing armor came from the future, fleeing Kang the Conqueror, his future self. He arrived at Avengers Mansion, but it was abandoned. He headed to Stark Industries, and he was able to access the A.I. of Vision and uploaded it into the armor. The A.I. explained that it contained the Avengers Fail-Safe Program, listing young heroes related to the Avengers.
He formed a team with Eli Bradley, Kate Bishop, Tandy Bowen, and Tyrone Johnson. They took every mission available, such as rescuing people during a fire. After their first mission was recounted in the Daily Bugle, Jessica Jones was sent to investigate the heroes who had been nicknamed Iron Lad, Patriot, New Hawkeye, Dagger, and Cloak . Captain America and Iron Man also investigated.
The Young Avengers prepared for Kang's arrival. Captain America, Iron Man, and Jessica Jones tried to dissuade them and had them locked in the Mansion while they awaited Kang. Kang was able to convince Cap and the others to assist him in this effort, showing them visions of an apocalyptic future he claimed would occur if Iron Lad was not forced to become another version of Kang. Kate had memorized the access codes, though, and was able to let them out as well as find items for them to prepare to battle Kang.
Iron Lad was separated from his armor due to Kang's cybernetic control, but with the Vision's A.I. it continued to fight him on its own. Kang left, but not before Iron Lad stabbed him
The Vision was able to reform himself from Iron Lad's armor. Changes in the timestream forced Iron Lad to return to his future and become Kang, so he bade the others farewell and thanked them for at least trying to help.
Captain America was impressed with their effort but said that without parental permission he and Iron Man could not train them. Their equipment was also confiscated.[
Kate was able to locate a new base and provided new costumes and equipment. With Captain America and Iron Man both taking interest in the kids' futures, the relationship between the Champions and the New Avengers was up in the air. The Champions used their abilities to protect those that could not protect themselves and fought against evil at every turn.
