History

The Teen Brigade was a team of teenagers coordinated by Rick Jones during the time he was the Hulk's and later Captain America's sidekick. They first banded together to help the Hulk defend earth against the Metal Master^[1].

When Loki's manipulations made the Hulk seem to be a public menace, the Teen Brigade tried calling several of Earth's heroes to help, amongst them the Fantastic Four. Instead, Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man and the Wasp responded, leading to the founding of the Avengers^[2].

They became regular allies and informants to the Avengers and were in close contact. After he was awakened from his suspension in ice, Captain America showed the acrobatic tricks and offered to teach them self-defense moves^[3]. They assisted the Avengers during their fight with Baron Zemo and his Masters of Evil^[4], as well as in their fight agains Kang the Conqueror, infiltrating his ship and freeing the trapped Avengers^[5]. They also helped doing research to find a cure for Wonder Man's illness^[6]. One of their members, Bill, inadvertently helped lure the Avengers into a trap when he showed Rick Jones an ad in a newspaper (placed by Immortus) promising super powers, which resulted in Rick being held hostage by Immortus^[7].

Vengeance

A new version of the Brigade recently surfaced. Jack Truman fed them intel.

Partying at a night club with Stacy-X and Sugar Kane, the Ultimate Nullifier came into conflict with Magneto, who had come to see Stacy-X, disappointed in her behavior. Meanwhile Miss America broke into Area 51, being fed info by Barnell Bohusk and Angel Salvadore, and discovered the In-Betweener. Rescuing him, she was assaulted by the extra-dimensional demons known as the Braak'nhüd.
