The Young Avengers were originally featured in a twelve issue run, later appearing in several notable Marvel crossover series, including the Civil War and The Children's Crusade events, before the series was relaunched in January 2013 as part of the Marvel NOW! rebranding by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Jamie McKelvie. Marvel's 1940s forerunner, Timely Comics, had an unrelated character, Young Avenger, who debuted in USA Comics #1 (August 1941). The first team appeared in Young Avengers #1 (April 2005), created by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheun.

In the series, newspapers refer to the young heroes as 'super-powered fanboys' and label them the 'Young Avengers,' a name the team members initially dislike but which sticks nonetheless. The four founding members of the team are gathered as a result of the Vision's plan for the reformation of the Avengers in the event the team disbanded.

Young Avengers follows the events of the 2004–2005 ' Avengers Disassembled' storyline. The Young Avengers team features numerous adolescent characters who typically have connections to established members of Marvel's primary superhero team, the Avengers. Created by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung, the first team appeared in Young Avengers #1 (April 2005).
