1. Runaways

(Marvel Comics)

Of course this is Number One.

Brian K. Vaughn and Adrian Alphona’s Runaways is one of the all-time best comics for teens and tweens, but it’s also enjoyable for all ages. And I’m glowing with excitement in anticipation of the Runaways Hulu series. It’s gonna be great.

The team was made up of kids of varying ages whose parents were friends. Every year, they were forced to hang out while their parents did boring adult stuff. It just turns out that said “boring adult stuff” included ruling the criminal underworld and killing people. When the kids discovered this, they went on the run to save the world and beat their parents. Chase, Gert, Nico, Karoline, Alex, and Molly (plus Old Lace and the Leapfrog) fought evil for years in sunny Los Angeles.

They lost team members to death and betrayal, gained a few along the way, and formed their own little family. A family of runaways.

And there you have it, a list of ten of the best young hero teams. Many didn’t make the cut, so if you have a favorite, let us know in the comments below.
