The Top 10 TEEN SUPERHERO TEAMS of All Time

With TV shows and movies featuring the Teen Titans, New Mutants, New Warriors, Runaways, Cloak & Dagger, and more in the works, it’s pretty clear – teen superhero teams are in.

But who are the greatest teen teams ever? You’ll have to read on to find out.

Here’s our list of the ten greatest teen superhero teams of all time!

Alex, Katie, Jack, and Julie Power all received incredible abilities when a member of the alien Kymellian race bestowed his wondrous abilities on the kids, granting them the power to save their parents, and the world.

It may sound a little silly, but the popularity of the Power Pack was nothing to sneeze at back in the day. With a series running for 62 issues, the Power Pack were bona fide Marvel stars, even landing a failed TV pilot. Rumors and speculation still persist that the fan favorite Power Pack will receive a new movie, or perhaps animated series.

When teen runaways (not to be confused with our next entry) Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson ran afoul of some chemists creating a special synthetic heroin for the Maggia, they were injected with the drug awakening their latent mutant powers.

While their history has since gotten complicated, Cloak & Dagger remain fan-favorite characters, despite not having carried an ongoing series in many years. Still, for many fans, their sporadic appearances, usually part of larger events, are a welcome treat.

Fans who have missed Cloak & Dagger have something to look forward to, as a will premiere in the next year on Freeform.

And why not? There's something inherently compelling about the group of teens (and younger kids) whose parents formed a secret supervillain cabal. Though it's been a while since they've all been together, the impending premiere of the Hulu Runaways - and some recent teasers from Marvel - give hope that Marvel Comics will re-focus on the group.

While the original five may have paved the way, it's the New Mutants who solidified the tradition of new classes of mutants making up the school's roster every few years. And while the New Mutants originally lasted less than a decade before leaving the school to become X-Force, their legacy has remained, seeing many young mutant teams form under the banner of Xavier's school.

And of course, there's the New Mutants film in development at Fox, with a script done and casting underway.

While the series ended some years ago after WildStorm was bought by DC, several of the characters - notably Caitlin Fairchild - have appeared in DC's "New 52."

Now that DC has moved on to Rebirth and the relaunch of WildStorm proper is underway, there's more of a chance now than ever that Gen 13 could return.

Sure, the team eventually expanded to include the much older Uncle Marvel and the Lieutenant Marvels, but the iconic threesome have always been shown as young teenagers. Shazam, as he's now solely known, hasn't appeared in DC's Rebirth, but promo art for the relaunch showed a S.H.A.Z.A.M. team similar to the one from the alternate Flashpoint universe.

But the 31st century team started with the original trio of Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, and Lightning Lad, three teen heroes who saved the life of intergalactic billionaire R.J. Brande, and began a legacy that would follow them into adulthood.

While it's been decades since the team were technically teens, they still started out as youngsters, even traveling back in time to recruit possibly the greatest teen hero of them all, Superboy.

The original team, composed of Cyclops, Angel, Beast, Iceman, and Marvel Girl were high school aged youngsters, and while they did grow to adulthood - something rare for comic book characters - they did craft a legacy of teen heroism that carries through to the X-Men today, with countless younger members often filling the team's ranks.

Of course, the original five have also found their way into the modern day, still in their teenage forms, thanks to the power of time travel, so they're still relevant to this day.

Sure, these four mutant brothers may be unorthodox superheroes, but they're heroes nonetheless. Originally created as a homage and parody of Daredevil, their superheroic roots are undeniable.

Also undeniable is the power of their phenomenon, which has spawned hundreds of comics, toys, several TV shows, and even a host of feature films since their inception in the '80's.

The Teen Titans started out in the 1960's, with the "fab five" sidekicks of DC's biggest heroes banding together to fight crime - and forge a bond that would last into adulthood.

While Robin, Wonder Girl, Speedy, Aqualad, and Kid Flash may have all grown into more adult roles, they formed the core of the Teen Titans well past their teen years. Even into the era of the seminal New Teen Titans, these five were mainstays, even banding together simply as the Titans and dropping the "teen" all together when they became adults.

Like the X-Men, the Teen Titans are more than just five youngsters. While the original team may have set the standard for the "junior Justice League" template that so many teen teams have followed, it's the numerous rosters of teen heroes that have banded together under the Titans banner over the years that makes them so special.

With Rebirth, two series were needed to encapsulate the team's legacy, with Teen Titans featuring younger characters alongside mainstays such as Beast Boy and Raven, and Titans reuniting several of the original team members including Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, and the original Wally West.
