Origin
When Nathaniel Richards met Kang, the man he would one day become and his future was revealed to him, he fled to the time where the only heroes existed who had ever challenged and bested the conqueror - the Avengers. When Richards arrived in the past he found the Avengers had disassembled. Knowing that his future self would eventually track him through time, Richards assembled a team of young heroes capable of challenging Kang. Downloading the data from the CPU of the remains of the recently destroyed android known as the Vision, Richards hoped to find a way to contact and reassemble the Avengers, instead he discovered a failsafe program with the locations of superhumans that share a history or similar powers to that of the Avengers. Under the guise of Iron Lad he recruited the lightning controlling Asgardian, the superhumanly strong shape-shifter Hulkling and Patriot - the super-soldier serum enhanced grandson of Isaiah Bradley the original Captain America. Together they trained and honed their skills in anticipation of the day of their ultimate challenge as the Young Avengers.
