Avengers Academy is a spinoff of Marvel's highly popular Avengers franchise. Avengers Academy is exactly what it says on the tin, a school for young and up coming super humans. Started during the 'Heroic Age' it stood out from the other Avengers titles by featuring largely new characters (the students) and some less prominent existing characters (the staff). The first story arc features Hank Pym (Ant-Man, Giant Man and many more) starting up the school to teach the first class how to be heroes and how to live with their various physical and emotional scars. Starting in issue #21 a brand new story arc begins featuring most of the original students, joined by a number of existing Marvel teens, some joining the main cast, the others being in the background as part timers. The school was also moved to Los Angeles to the West Coast Avengers compound and several members of the staff changed.Created by Christos Gage the series acts as a Spiritual Successor to the similarly themed, though quite different Avengers: The Initiative, also co-written by Gage. One of the students 'Reptil' coming from that series, Hank Pym and Tigra were also central figures in that book. Though that Pym was a Skrull. The presence of Hank, Jocasta and Quicksilver means it also continues some plot threads from Dark Reign-era Mighty Avengers.While any issue can be picked up and enjoyed, especially new reader friendly issues are #1, #14.1 and #21.The title lasted for 39 issues (August, 2010- January, 2013) and some of the cast appeared in the Darker and Edgier Avengers Arena series as part of the Marvel NOW! relaunch. Also see Young Avengers for another Avengers-affiliated young team.Unrelated to the free-to-play mobile village simulator game with the same name. | |

Canon Foreigner | |
| Avengers Academy (Comic Book) / int_113480b7 | comment |
Future Reptil's inner monologue reveals that he doesn't remember Ava Ayala existing in his timeline, not even knowing that the original White Tiger had a living sister. On a meta level, Ava never appeared in the Marvel Universe before that particular arc (she's a Canon Foreigner from Ultimate Spider-Man (2012)); as such, this can come off as commentary on how she was suddenly retconned in. | |

Stripperiffic: Averted in the original students. And the new students avoid it, too, unless you count Lightspeed showing off her midriff. But not by original teacher Tigra, who runs around in a bikini. She even defends this in some issues where the students and the Runaways meet up. Running around california while covered in fur is hot enough, thank you. | |

Ambiguous Situation: Of the six original students, only Reptil and Finesse get a solid explanation on where their powers might have come from (the former has his amulet, the latter might be Taskmaster's daughter). Hazmat just says she's not a mutant (with her parents blaming Roxxon, their workplace, for potentially exposing her to something that changed her), Striker's mother seems to know where his powers came from but lies that she doesn't, and Veil and Mettle don't get any sort of explanation for theirs. | |

That Thing Is Not My Child!: Invoked. Ant Man was replaced by a Skrull which copied him "to the genetic level" and, during an affair with Tigra, impregnated her. As such, the child is genetically Ant Man's. Later, the real Ant Man returns, and Tigra insists that he has no parental claim to the baby. He agrees, but she then asks him to be the child's godfather instead. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
| Avengers Academy (Comic Book) / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: The original cast is pretty much built on this. We have Veil who can turn into mist... yet her power is slowly killing her. Then we have Hazmat whose body produces deadly radiation, and has to be confined to a suit to protect others (think Captain Atom meets Rogue). Then there's Finesse, who is a super fighter but her brain can't handle all the information, causing her to discard social skills as "extraneous data", with the similarly empowered Taskmaster stating that his own short-term memory suffers similarly, as his brain constantly dumps "useless" data to imprint more combat skills. Sure enough, a future version of Finesse shows she has awful short-term memory, to the point that she's continually forgetting her daughter's name. And then there's Mettle, who was a champion surfer before his powers awakened granting him Super-Strength and Nigh-Invulnerability...but making him look like a metal version of Red Skull (he even yells once 'I'm not related to Red Skull, I'm Jewish'). Striker and Reptil are the safest of them, but they've got issues of their own to work around (and Striker's aren't even related to his powers). | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Avengers Academy (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: And not because of Avengers Arena either. That's just salt in the wound. This series ends with: Veil permanently depowered and even losing the health boost that she got when her mutation manifested, as well as being forced to go back to normal school... but where she is able to forcibly move up in the pecking order thanks to the confidence and fighting skills she learned at Avengers Academy. Hazmat and Mettle being told they can't take more of Jeremy Briggs's cure, because It Only Works Once, but deciding they can still have a relationship with each other at least. Striker's face is seemingly permanently scarred by Jeremy Briggs... but he matures enough to realize that looks aren't everything, and he can still have a life with them. Finesse losing her friendship with X-23 over the fact she used Laura's claws to kill Jeremy Briggs and let everybody think it was Laura who struck the killing blow, and seemingly loses Reptil to White Tiger. The whole Avengers Academy team being told that they have officially graduated to rookie Avengers, and are on their way to becoming full-fledged Avengers in time. Hank Pym and Tigra actually seem to be forming a healthy, stable relationship. A new Avengers-based humanitarian program to better support superhumans to places where their powers can help in ways other than just beating bad guys is launched. | |

Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains: The problematic aspects of this trope are lampshaded where the Avengers confront Cyclops' post-Schism X-Men team. Hawkeye (IIRC) says of Emma Frost, "I knew someone who dresses like that couldn't stay a good guy!", to which Tigra responds, "What does that make me? Doctor Doom?". Later, Mettle makes a joke along those lines, suggesting that if Finesse goes evil, she should wear stiletto heels and get a "boob window". | |

No Hugging, No Kissing: Averted, the series handles the sexual overtones well and realistically for a group of teenagers spending a lot of time with each other. Reptil and Finesse engage in casual sex, and a huge part of Hazmat's storyline was her fear of intimacy, not just related to her Blessed with Suck powers. | |

I Just Want to Be Normal: Veil and Hazmat have quite a few gripes about their conditions. While Veil manages to keep things in stride until Fear Itself (she is only afraid of literally vanishing into thin air), Hazmat is very wangsty about it. Jeremy Briggs cures them both at different points of the story, and while Maddy manages to stay normal for the rest of the series, Jenny has to get her powers back and forsake a normal life when Briggs launches his masterplan. | |

| Avengers Academy (Comic Book) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When the students are told that they can stop Korvac, Mettle says that the Avengers are already fighting him and "we're not even in the cartoons". Striker points out that Reptil is, because kids love dinosaurs. This is a reference to The Super Hero Squad Show cartoon, which features Reptil as a rookie alongside the more famous classic Avengers. Future Reptil's inner monologue reveals that he doesn't remember Ava Ayala existing in his timeline, not even knowing that the original White Tiger had a living sister. On a meta level, Ava never appeared in the Marvel Universe before that particular arc (she's a Canon Foreigner from Ultimate Spider-Man (2012)); as such, this can come off as commentary on how she was suddenly retconned in. | |

Luke, I Might Be Your Father | |
| Avengers Academy (Comic Book) / int_50251308 | comment |
Luke, I Might Be Your Father: Finesse and Taskmaster think they might be related because of their similar special abilities. Taskmaster doesn't deny the possibility but states that he's been with quite a few women and he couldn't possibly narrow down Finesse's mother even if he didn't have memory problems. He also refuses to take a Daddy DNA Test because he doesn't want the government to get a sample of his DNA. Taskmaster still spars with Finesse once to memorize her movements, since it's the only surefire way he will remember her, only to realize that, like him, she has copied all her maneuvers from others so she had nothing to impart on him. Later on, a future version of Finesse is shown suffering from similar memory problems as Taskmaster, a further proof of them being related. What makes the whole thing sadder/a moment of Doomed by Canon is that she is shown to have a daughter with Reptil, meaning she possibly passed this defect on. Although her daughter's powers seem totally unrelated to either of her parents so there is hope. | |

Central Theme | |
| Avengers Academy (Comic Book) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: There's two major themes that run through the entire series. The first and biggest is the defiance of expectations. But the other one is a bit subtler, but is nonetheless important: dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. There's a third one, too - trying to do something for someone's own good without consulting them is not a good idea. Most of the problems start with something like this - the kids not being told they're potential villains, the kids going after the Hood intending to get revenge for Tigra, Veil releasing Karina (who she thinks is Wasp) since she thinks that Hank will appreciate it...the list goes on. | |

When Finesse later reveals the truth Laura is deeply upset at being used in such a manner, and it destroys the friendship they'd built. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: one averted, one played with. During Fear Itself, Hazmat, Mettle, and Finesse agree to stay behind to hold off two of the Worthy (Titania and Absorbing Man) and self-destruct the Infinite Mansion. This is averted thanks to the timely intervention of Hank Pym, Jocasta and Quicksilver. Later, Hazmat and Mettle sacrifice their recently regained humanity and normalcy as well as the possibility of a normal life in order to save their friends (and the world) from Jeremy Briggs' plans. | |

Dysfunction Junction | |

Dysfunction Junction: Both the teachers and the students are severely messed up. For the teachers, we have: Hank Pym, who has undergone multiple psychotic breaks over his adult life, been divorced several times, and most recently spent a prolonged period as captive of the Skrulls. Tigra, whose mind has consistently been overwhelmed by her feral feline urges at several points (including an extended period where she had to be kept miniaturized in a cat enclosure to keep her from endangering people), and who was raped-by-proxy by a Skrull playing on her affection for Hank Pym, which got her pregnant. Robert Baldwin, who was the only survivor of an incident that killed 600 people, which broke him to the point he became obsessed with self-mutilation — a practice he's still engaging in during the earliest issues. Vance Astrovik, who accidentally killed his dad with his powers. Quicksilver, who has been through the Heel–Face Revolving Door more times than one can count. For the students, we have: Veil, who was a bullied and humiliated girl at high school who was given the ability to assume the form of any gas, including poisonous ones, and who is doomed to discorporate into nothing if she is not cured. Finesse, who seems to be a budding sociopathnote although, when given her first "focus comic", she notes has never felt any desire to hurt anyone or enjoyed hurting animals; it's later implied that, like her in-all-probability father Taskmaster, her brain simply "dumps" social knowledge to have room for her photographic reflexes. Striker was bought up by an abusive Stage Mom and sexually molested by the manager she got for him, and whom she wouldn't believe was molesting him. Mettle's mutation trapped him in the form of a deformed monster with muted tactile senses. Even Reptil, the least-baggaged member of the initial students, had his parents kidnapped and is desperately looking for them. | |

Reed Richards Is Useless: Actually a plot point that Hank Pym, as well as Reed Richards himself are unable to help Veil, Mettle, and Hazmat. In their appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man, Spidey explains to the students in class how he was wrong for trying at first to use his powers for financial gain as a wrestler instead of helping people and the students ask why he didn't just patent his webbing and make millions that he could donate to needy charities. Spidey counters that he'd have to give up his secret identity to patent it, but one of them points out he could have used proxies in the form of shell companies to hide the source of the webbing, and point by point take apart Mr. Parker's lesson plan as being illogical and overall, useless. | |

There Are No Therapists | |
| Avengers Academy (Comic Book) / int_96fbeaf | comment |
There Are No Therapists: Therapists would be really, really useful in Avengers Academy. The central concept is that the kids are in the Academy because they're all traumatized or otherwise disturbed, and the Avengers want to mold them into superheroes before they turn into supervillains. The only psychologist they see is Moonstone - whom they visit in prison because she's an evil psychopath. The students do seem to be encouraged to confide in their instructors, with the conceit being that since their instructors are all especially troubled Avengers and associated, they are better able to guide them. Highlighted in #6, after Reptil's trauma causes him to attack a criminal as a feral raptor, Hank sends him to speak with Jessica Jones. After the session, Jessica reminds Hank while she can relate to Reptil she's not a therapist herself and he needs professional help. This also applies just as much to the adults. When Tigra realizes that her brutal beating at the hands of the Hood and the public humiliation it caused her are still affecting her, she doesn't see a professional about it, but instead goes on a talk show to get if off her chest. | |

Ambition Is Evil | |
| Avengers Academy (Comic Book) / int_9e1e14ea | comment |
In their appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man, Spidey explains to the students in class how he was wrong for trying at first to use his powers for financial gain as a wrestler instead of helping people and the students ask why he didn't just patent his webbing and make millions that he could donate to needy charities. Spidey counters that he'd have to give up his secret identity to patent it, but one of them points out he could have used proxies in the form of shell companies to hide the source of the webbing, and point by point take apart Mr. Parker's lesson plan as being illogical and overall, useless. | |

My God, What Have I Done? | |

My God, What Have I Done?: Giant-Man and Tigra are hit with this when the kids are called into action during the Fear Itself arc, especially when Mettle kills a Mook and Tigra asks if he's prepared to do it again to protect civilians. Also, Veil and Jocasta when they realize Briggs is going to take away the superpowers of everyone on Earth and only give them to the ones he deems "worthy". | |

Doomed by Canon | |
| Avengers Academy (Comic Book) / int_a1e5faab | comment |
Later on, a future version of Finesse is shown suffering from similar memory problems as Taskmaster, a further proof of them being related. What makes the whole thing sadder/a moment of Doomed by Canon is that she is shown to have a daughter with Reptil, meaning she possibly passed this defect on. Although her daughter's powers seem totally unrelated to either of her parents so there is hope. | |

He manipulates events to get himself taken to the Academy, and then starts trying to siphon the life out of the male students, whilst planning to brainwash the female students into a harem with which he can breed a new generation of super-powered Dire Wraith hybrids to conquer the world with. | |

Troubled Teen: The initial six kids vary in regards to their troubled nature, but they all singled out for being part of the program because they have the potential to become villians. Hazmat (has to live her life in a suit to avoid killing anyone with her powers), Finesse (criminal parents and possibly dealing with autism), Veil (bullied severely), and Striker (molested as a child and coming to terms with his sexuality) fit this trope the most. | |

Future Me Scares Me: Subverted and played straight in the Korvac arc. Some of the students were disappointed that at least in those particular futures, described as their most powerful incarnations in the multiverse, they were still Cursed with Awesome. Reptil actually refused to let his future body change back at first because it granted him better control of his powers. And it was later revealed that Reptil would become possessed by the same and potentially evil alternate future version of himself in a later arc. | |

Giant-Man immediately responds that while that was the case at first, the students managed to rise to the occasion and prove themselves, time and again, as the heroes they are supposed to be, while Hawkeye points out that he himself was a "danger case" like them.note When he joined the Avengers, people thought of him as a bad guy due to his first run-in with Iron Man, when the Black Widow (who was herself a villain at the time) manipulated him into fighting the ol' Shellhead. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Happens several times, most recently when students are going to sacrifice themselves to stop "The Worthy" and prevent the destruction of a city when Giant-Man burst through the walls of the Infinite Mansion, attacking "The Worthy" while the rest of the staff (all of which are Avengers) show up to rescue the students! | |

Promotion to Parent: After her parents were killed when she was a child, Ava Ayala went to live with her older sister Awilda (Angela del Toro's mother). Though unlike most cases of this trope, Awilda is an adult and married with children. | |

And Ava Ayala, the New White Tiger, who was created for the new Ultimate Spider-Man animated series as confirmed by Gage on Twitter.

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
| Avengers Academy (Comic Book) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Jeremy Briggs in spades. He rejects the whole idea of becoming a superhero, but is dedicated, in his way, to helping people, founding a multi-million corporation with the aid of similar super-powered teens to begin enacting real social changes. Even his plans for world domination are rooted in the idea that the "older generation" are too caught up in their pointless super-powered brawls to do something useful. | |

Brick Joke: In the first issue of Wolverine and the X-Men, there's the promise of the "inaugural flag football game vs. the Avengers Academy". Sure enough, in the crossover between the two series, they have a flag football match. | |
