Champions (2016 team)

History
The Champions originated from the departure of Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man and Nova from the Avengers, who had become disillusioned by the behavior of their elders, specially in regards to the second superhuman Civil War. The three young heroes desired to rectify the state of distrust by the people towards superheroes in general, and soon recruited other two teenagers with similar ideals, the new Hulk, and Viv, daughter of the Vision.

Their first joint mission consisted of saving a group of girls being trafficked by Pagliacci in nearby Maryland. Having succeeded and caught the attention of the bystanders, the young heroes revealed themselves to the public, with Ms. Marvel proclaiming their team's objective of fostering a better tomorrow through hope and wisdom rather than unjust force. Her speech became viral on the internet, and the team were soon dubbed the "Champions" in social media.[1] One of the people encouraged by Ms. Marvel's speech was the younger self of Cyclops, who was admitted into the Champion's ranks after requesting to join them.[2]
