They'll fight off hordes of monsters with techniques the likes of which master swordsmen would never equal. They'll wield weapons spoken of only in the oldest of legends. They'll Save the World and everyone in it from destruction five times over. And they'll do all of this while not even being old enough to drive. The Kid Hero is, as the name implies, a child, a teenager, a young adult. The exact age varies up and down the scale, from 8 to 17, 18 or 19, but they're never an adult by whatever the local standards are. The "base age" seems to be between 10 and 15, 16, 17, 18 or thereabouts, though their numeric age may not be revealed. Your standard Kid Hero has a strong streak of immaturity in them. They might well regard the adventure as a game, albeit one with slightly higher stakes. And if they aren't savvy to the world yet, expect them to be blown away by everything they see. Expect this to be scrubbed out of them in short order, usually when they finally meet an antagonist capable of matching their skill. Kid Heroes DO have some things going for them, though: their idealism and youth. Anyone trying to perform a Breaking Speech on a Kid Hero is in for a rude awakening when they get it thrown back in their face. Kid Heroes, quite simply, have a very clear view of right or wrong. Some may call it naïve, but it serves them well, as they are basically impossible to corrupt. They're also at that age where their self-image is intricately intertwined with their friends, so they often kick ass through The Power of Friendship. A Kid Hero will commonly, but not universally, have two primary adversaries; their most dangerous opponent is usually an adult villain who serves as the hero's Arch-Enemy, while their second most dangerous opponent will usually be a younger antagonist, closer to their own age or slightly older, who serves as The Rival or Evil Counterpart of the hero. These two are rarely affiliated, but if they do work together, the adult will almost certainly be the Big Bad with the younger character as an extremely reluctant and rebellious Dragon. Most commonly seen in console and computer role-playing games, as it allows for character growth to feel natural and skips the question of why they aren't properly equipped for the job. This also appears in the vast majority of animated action-adventure, both Western and Eastern. If a television show is specifically focused on this character, then the description will most likely be along the lines of "Saving the world, and doing homework!" If particularly well executed, The Brigadier and others won't look like monsters or weaklings for sending a kid to do their heroics for them. This is Older Than Feudalism; examples include the Biblical hero David, and several Greek and Hindu mythic heroes (e.g., Hercules, who killed two large snakes sent by Hera to kill him in his crib). See also Child Soldiers, the darker form of this trope. This can easily overlap with the Kid-Appeal Character - kids like to see fellow kids like them save the day, after all. Compare Kid Samurai. Contrast Enfant Terrible, Kids Are Cruel, and Teens Are Monsters. Naturally a requirement for Kid Hero All Grown-Up. |

Heroics: The field members of the titular team are all between 13 and 17 years old. The youngest, Kara, is the most optimistic, though most of them do still have a childish nature to them. (Though team leader Kate is well on her way to losing it by the end of the book.) | |

Journey to the Morning Star, being a children's novel, naturally has kids as protagonists, although they are accompanied by an old wizard. The three boys' names are even lampshaded by the wizard, who compares them to the three classical Russian bogatyrs. As expected, the girl (the wizard's granddaughter) ends up being little more than a Damsel in Distress. | |

Loki was reincarnated as a kid. He skips most of the negative tropes because he's got a focused mission (save Thor from the Serpent), it's pointed out that he's in a lot of danger (he's a god, but a god in the body of a kid without his magic), and most of all, he's not acting like Scrappy Doo and charging into situations (at least physical situations) that he can't handle. His book is considered one of the best Marvel is putting out. | |

People forget that the X-Men started off as teen heroes in a school for gifted youngsters. Even after the team became composed mostly of adults, other teenagers would go on to join the main X-Men team, such as Shadowcat and Jubilee. Various X-Men spin-offs have featured teams of teenage mutant heroes, such as New Mutants, Generation X, New X-Men: Academy X, Young X-Men and Wolverine and the X-Men. Interestingly enough, practically all the members of these teams have since grown to adulthood, something that does not happen much in comics. |

Most of the cast of Runaways are teenage superheroes, though Molly Hayes probably epitomizes this trope best. She's 11 years old and has super-strength, plus invulnerability. However, like a young child, she tires easily and has to take naps when she's over-exerted. (In other words, she could probably go a round or two with the Hulk, but would probably fall asleep mid-battle.) Her idea for a superhero name? Princess Powerful (Hey, she's 11, give her a break!). | |

Discussed and Reconstructed in What the Cat Dragged In. After the Avengers figure out Ladybug and Chat Noir’s general ages, they’re understandably horrified that the fate of Paris rests on the shoulders of a pair of teens. However they note that this also means they’re not completely responsible for taking care of their civilian lives, giving they a safety net and making Papillon's war of attrition much less effective. | |

The Night Unfurls presents a rare reconstruction. Three out of five Hunters (Sanakan, Hugh and Soren) are kids (they are referred to as such) who Take a Level in Badass and fight hordes of orcs, mercs, brutes, soldiers and other monstrosities over the course of the story as skilled Hunters alongside the good guys. It is unknown whether they aged, given how long they have to train in the Hunter's Dream before swooping into the real battlefield. Whereas deconstructions of this character archetype portray "kids saving the day" as problematicnote i.e., these kids are no different from Child Soldiers and they are susceptible to trauma and manipulation as a result of their youth, The Night Unfurls asserts that with sufficient training and guidance, the kids are able to gain the strength, health, agency, and motivation needed to right as many wrongs as possible in a hazardous world, a feat beyond their reach if they remain civilians. There is a reason why the Kid Hero persists in fiction despite being torn apart countless times. | |

Harry Potter had his first adventure at the age of eleven and in the last book he defeated Lord Voldemort at seventeen. In addition to Harry himself, the series includes his friends and classmates. On the other side, Draco Malfoy became an official Death Eater at sixteen. | |

Power Rangers parent show Super Sentai used the same idea earlier for K�, the Kiba Ranger in Gosei Sentai Dairanger. And again for Kotaro, Koguma Skyblue in Uchu Sentai Kyuranger (except Kotaro stays kid-size when he morphs, except when he uses his special ability to temporarily grow gigantic). The Ressha Sentai ToQger team, meanwhile, act like kids despite looking like they're in the franchise's usual late-teen age range because they are kids that have been magically aged up; they return to their normal ages at the end of the series and participate in some spinoffs as their child selves. | |

In brilliant lights will cease to burn, Izuku is just thirteen when he comes the Cardcaptor and subsequently the vigilante Deku. Combined with his already busy schedule, it's little wonder that he ends up sleep deprived and exhausted. At the same time, he can act with the same amount of maturity and cynicism as someone much older. | |

They're all under thirteen, with Constance being the youngest at age three. Mr. Benedict recruited children because he needs them for his dangerous missions that only kids can go on, however would ideally avoid putting kids in harms way. | |

Done somewhat differently in the Grey Griffins book series, in that while the main heroes are four children, adults frequently end up having to rescue them or help out, and are also the ones who do the overwhelming majority of the actual fighting. On the other hand, the kids tend to do much adventuring on their own, usually using their wits. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons, the minimum age for a human player character is 16 years old. In Fifth Edition, the rules specify that there are no age restrictions, nor are there any penalties for playing a very young (or old) character- but it's suggested that the character's age could justify their existing stats. | |

The Young Wizards series. Justified by several reasons: The younger a wizard, the more raw power they have available. A wizard is first offered his/her power by the Powers That Be when s/he is the best (or the only) solution to a particular problem, a problem which was directly or indirectly caused by the Lone Power, the Big Bad of the series. Thus, whatever a wizard does after first getting his/her powers is always important, and often dangerous. |

The Soviet sci-fi two-parter Moscow — Cassiopeia involves a group of teenagers being sent on a decades-long journey to one of the stars in the Cassiopeia constellation. Had adults been sent, they could have grown old by the time the ship arrived. The original plan is for the teens to be adults at arrival time, but a freak accident results in the ship accelerating to near-light speeds, so Time Dilation keeps them young (which doesn't stop one's family back on Earth from celebrating his 30th birthday (in absentia) before someone points out that, from his viewpoint, he's still in his teens). Since they're still in school, they have to attend classes while in flight (through a Subspace Ansible of some kind). They end up saving a dying Human Alien race and depart on their journey home. | |

For Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, we have a three-fer! Miles Morales is prepubescent and in middle school, making him 13-14 at most. Gwen Stacy states she's "15 months older" than Miles, putting her in the 14-15 year-old range, and SP//dr's Peni Parker, a young girl whose age is not stated, but who looks, sounds, and acts even younger than Miles. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which occurs sixteen months afterwards, establishes Miles to be fifteen by that point. | |

Pre-dating Spidey by almost two decades was Superboy ("the adventures of Superman when he was a boy"), who debuted in More Fun Comics #101 in 1945, and soon moved to a lengthy run as the lead feature in Adventure Comics, plus gaining his own self-titled series (Superboy) in 1949. | |

New Warriors: The team started off having mostly teenage members, although, like the X-Men, they all grew up. In fact, two of the founding members, Nova and Speedball were originally created as solo heroes in an attempt to duplicate what Marvel had done with Spider-Man, who'd moved on to college and grad school. | |

The prepubescent Billy Batson became Captain Marvel, and subsequently the most popular character in comic books. A lawsuit from DC eventually ended his reign, but the incident proved that children, likeso many demographics, react best to people like themselves. Captain Marvel has the twist that he becomes an adult in his super powered form. One retelling of Captain Marvel's origin deconstructed this somewhat. Big Bad Doctor Sivana got some intel that Billy Batson (homeless and living in a subway tunnel at the time) was Captain Marvel and sent assassins after him. Billy defeated them, but his best friend was fatally shot in the process. Billy was so enraged that he nearly violated Thou Shalt Not Kill with regards to Sivana. When Superman confronted him about it, Billy decided to show him his true nature. Needless to say, Superman was pissed and he called out Shazam for handing all of the responsibility and danger that comes with life as a superhero to a little boy. Though Shazam had pointed out that Billy was the only person on Earth who could be entrusted with the power of the gods. So he countered Superman's statements with "He's a boy...who could use some guidance." Cue Superman revealing his Clark Kent identity to Billy and the two becoming true friends. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Robb Stark commands a good percentage of the continent's armed men while barely old enough to grow a beard. The series is full of these. Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen are such examples, with the former becoming one of the youngest Lord Commanders in the Wall's history, and the latter becoming a queen and conqueror of slaver cities while just fifteen years old. Arya is a deconstruction of the trope. Her coldly calculative personality is extremely disturbing to those she meets, as she has not even hit puberty yet and she's already a successful assassin. Robb Stark wins all his battles but proves terrible in handling the political side of ruling and ends up getting murdered at the age of 16. Daenerys finds ruling a city incredibly difficult and ends up fleeing on her dragon. Daeron I became King at the age of 14 and conquered Dorne, which his ancestors had failed at despite having dragons. However, similar to Robb Stark, ruling proved more difficult then fighting, and he died four years after becoming King in the Dornish wars. |

In fitting with the source material, this is not uncommon among the titular Hopeful of Princess: The Hopeful.

Downplayed in Forewarned is Forearmed. Akira doesn't do much to influence the events of Persona 4's plot directly (in large part due to Lavenza's insistence), though he does get involved in the Metaverse much earlier and learns how to take down Shadows on his own. But his Personas aren't particularly strong, especially when compared to Yu's, due to lacking access to the Velvet Room and a sufficient number of bonds to power them up. But his presence ends up tipping off both Nanako and Dojima to the nature of Shadows, Personas, and the Metaverse, getting them all much more involved in the finale. Akira is also the only Persona user around to defend Inaba from the Shadows appearing there while the Investigation Team is off to defeat Adachi. He also joins Yu when he goes off to defeat Izanami, though the story ends before we see the fight. | |

Spider-Man: Stan Lee took a wild shot by making Spider-Man one of the first true teen solo superheroes (i.e. non-sidekick; there was the Star-Spangled Kid back in WWII, but he didn't sell as well). The eventual widespread popularity of Spider-Man quite possibly is the root of the trope within the West. The Ultimate Marvel version of Spidey remained in the 15-16 age for the duration (160 issues) of his run. His successor, Miles Morales, is only 13 when he gets his powers. Just to hit Miles' age home, Nick Fury holds his hand when showing him around the Triskelion. Neither Miles nor Fury seem to be bothered by it. Both Spider-Men are realistically proportioned, so there tends to be a David Versus Goliath dynamic with many villains. However it’s worth noting that due to Comic-Book Time, Peter Parker is now in his late twenties or early thirties, and Miles is sixteen. | |

This is a recurring trend in the Infinity Train: Blossomverse Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail: Chloe Cerise is a ten-year-old girl who finds herself thrown into the Infinity Train, teams up with a corgi king and a living book, to bring down a dangerous cult called The Apex. Gladion Montblanc of Infinity Train: Knight of the Orange Lily is 14 and makes it his personal mission to be a knight and topple the Apex. But given that this is a prequel to Blossoming Trail, he isn't successful (although he does stop a serious plan of theirs). Goh Fujihachi in Infinity Train: Voyage of Wisteria is also ten, but he has to navigate the train after his friend ended the cult. |

Several of the main characters in El Goonish Shive have become this. Nanase has a super powerful angel form which Ellen can now duplicate. Elliot has his female superhero form, Cheerleadra, along with three secret identities to go along with. Susan is a natural vampire hunter, as is her Doppelganger aunt Diane. However, her powers have not yet awakened. | |

Various X-Men spin-offs have featured teams of teenage mutant heroes, such as New Mutants, Generation X, New X-Men: Academy X, Young X-Men and Wolverine and the X-Men. Interestingly enough, practically all the members of these teams have since grown to adulthood, something that does not happen much in comics. | |

Child of the Storm: Deconstructed. Harry is the hero of the story, Chronic Hero Syndrome and all, and is intelligent, brave, resourceful and - on his level - very capable. However, he's also 13 (to start with), impulsive, and completely out of his depth against Avengers-level opponents who won't hesitate to kill him. Unusually, the Avengers recognise this, and do their level best to keep him out of trouble, with limited success (trouble and Harry tend to go hand in hand, even if he isn't looking for it). This is for good reason. Even after Harry gets the powers (and to a lesser extent, skills) to fight in the same weight-class, his inexperience is repeatedly and brutally exposed on multiple occasions, two near the end of the first book, the third at the start of the sequel. Respectively, they nearly kill him, actually kill him, and put him through a Fate Worse than Death. While this leaves him as a much more competent hero who can more than look after himself against Physical God level threats, it also leaves him with textbook PTSD at 14 (15, physically, thanks to Year Inside, Hour Outside) and a lot of cynicism. The same happens, to a lesser degree, to several of his friends - Carol, for instance, has Past Experience Nightmares and similar residual trauma at the start of the sequel, which are magnified after a particularly traumatic arc later on. As a result of this, Harry makes a point of trying to keep Ron and Hermione (so far relatively untouched) out of trouble as far as possible, recognising how damaged his experiences have left him, and making very clear that he does not want that for them. |

Examples from Superman comics: Pre-dating Spidey by almost two decades was Superboy ("the adventures of Superman when he was a boy"), who debuted in More Fun Comics #101 in 1945, and soon moved to a lengthy run as the lead feature in Adventure Comics, plus gaining his own self-titled series (Superboy) in 1949. Pre-Crisis Supergirl was fifteen when she landed on Earth and started out her superhero career. Her Post-Crisis and Post-Flashpoint incarnations also started out as teen heroes. |

Batgirl: Although originally Barbara Gordon was an adult woman, it was later retconned out that she was a high-schooler when she started out her hero career. Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe, one of the many girls who took up the mantle during Barbara Gordon's retirement, was barely a teenager. Cassandra Cain, the first Batgirl after Babs who had her approval and got to hold on to the mantle for more than two outings, was about sixteen when she first donned the costume. |

Biggles is a borderline example, being eight months shy of his claimed seventeen years when he arrives as New Meat at the Air Training School in Biggles Learns To Fly. Most of the franchise is set some time after he reaches adulthood, however. His sidekick Ginger is an odd example, appearing in one story as a Bratty Half-Pint before taking up an apprenticeship at an aircraft manufacturer to reappear a few books later, slightly Older and Wiser. |

And upon reaching their 12th birthday, kids take their first level in one of the basic classes, and have no attributes adjustment. Cue 12 years old battling radroaches, raiders, scavenging pre-apocalypse ruins for spare ammo... | |

The Camp Half-Blood Series: All the half-bloods and Grover (starting with Percy Jackson and the Olympians, although they grow into their teen years in The Heroes of Olympus). They usually discover they are half-bloods in middle school. It's debatable whether or not the Hunters of Artemis count too - technically they are immortal and therefore mostly in their hundreds or thousands, but physically are prepubescent. Grover's thirty-two in the last Percy Jackson book, he just looks sixteen (and acts that way because satyrs age half as fast as humans). |

The superheroes in Happy Heroes are revealed to be in 3rd grade in one episode, placing them at around eight years old (at least mentally; they presumably haven't been revived for that long). | |
