Abilities: Super speed, super strength, guns specialist, strategist, leadership

Face Claim: Alex Pettyfer

Biography: Steve Rogers found out too late that the effects of the serum he was given went much deeper than turning him into the world’s first super hero. It had affected his very DNA and when Robert was born Sharon and Steve were greeted with the pleasant surprise of their son having much of the same powers his father had. It took getting used to, and for a long time Steve blamed himself, but soon the happy parents accepted their child, and Steve set to work. Robert was raised on good old fashioned American values of hard work and discipline, along with some good, hard training on how to control his powers. Robert struggled throughout his life to live up to the standards his father set for him. In school Robert was never the leader his father wanted him to be, in sports he was never the good sport his father wanted him to be, he was never the hard worker his father wanted him to be. It seemed nothing was ever good enough for the Captain. Tired of his father’s looming influence on him, Robert ran away from home at sixteen and set out on the road with only his wit and the skills Steve had taught him. He wasn’t gone very long before he heard that his home town of New York City was under attack, and he quickly rushed to his parents’ aid. Showing courage that had never been seen in him before, Steve made certain to tell Robert how proud he was of him. Soon after on Robert’s twentieth birthday he was invited to join the New Avengers. Robert never took on the famous shield that his father was so fond of, jokingly telling Steve when it was offered, “You need it more than I do.”

Face Claim: Colton Haynes

Biography: From a young age, Ben enjoyed sneaking up on people. And he was incredibly good at it and scared his father many times from toddlerhood to teenhood. This talent was quickly picked up on by Natalia, his mother, who decided it was time to begin training her children for their future careers as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. While she would have preferred they become doctors or lawyers or… Anything but asassins like Clint and herself, she could not ignore raw talent, and so took Ben under her wing, training him in the delicate art of espionage. It was clear that he had a gift, one that his sister, Stephanie, had not been able to master. While she preferred archery Ben found that stealth, and when needed a good weapon or anything he could find that could be used as one, was more his forte. While he enjoyed doing what his mother Ben had a difficult time finding a job in the field despite Natalia’s reputation. That was until the twins were invited to one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s command centers at eighteen for a tour with their parents. The security was breeched and the entire center was compromised, but at their parents sides the siblings were able to stop the criminals behind it, bringing them to justice. After that point, both Steph and Ben were invited to join the New Avengers.

Face Claim: Zooey Dechanel

Biography: Despite his fears when going into fatherhood, Bruce and Amy managed to bond incredibly well. She adored and idolized her father, and he of course adored her in return. For the first four years of Amy’s life her father had no incidents involving his alter ego, the Hulk. However, peace could only last so long for the Banners. An attack on the Banner home in Arizona took place when Amy was very small. Though no one was seriously injured, this incident caused Bruce to go Hulk. Terrified that her daughter would be hurt by her husband, Molly desperately tried to get Amy to run away while also trying not to attract the Hulk’s attention. However, when Amy saw the Hulk she immediately held out her hand to him and smiled. In return the Hulk took her in his arms and took her on a trip around the desert. From that moment on Amy would not allow anyone to speak poorly of the Hulk, who she affectionately referred to as her Big Papa for the rest of her life. At the age of twenty-five, having finished medical school, Amy was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D., and though Bruce disapproved and tried to warn her against it, she mistook his warning as his being disappointed that she would not be following in his footsteps. She went through a month of intensive training with Natalia Romanova (the Black Widow) before she was requested for the Hulk Buster squad, a team specifically made to keep watch for the Hulk. Enraged, she left S.H.I.E.L.D. and joined a peace keeping organization started by Tony Stark, after apologizing to her father. Soon after her father’s death, Amy requested to join the New Avengers, living in Avengers Manor as a full-time secretary and doctor to the team.

At about ten Steph could hit fifty stationary targets in a row, getting a bull’s eye every time, at twelve a hundred moving targets. She had inherited her father’s gifted eyesight and was trained to be an archer like him. She never saw this as extremely useful until she was invited to one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s command centers at eighteen for a tour with her parents and brother.

Name: Magni

Gender: Male

Predecessor: Thor

Parents: Thor and Jane Foster

Allies and Affiliations: New Avengers, Modi (brother), Ullr (adopted brother), Thrud Gunhild (sister)

Source of Power: Deity lineage

Abilities: Strength, summons storms

Face Claim: Bradley James

Biography: Magni is the eldest of four children and the successor to the throne of Asgard. However,unlike his father, he dreads the day when he will have to take his place as king. Though he is considered a demigod, all in Asgard treat him as a full god because of his father. He spends much of his time on Earth with his mother, while Ullr and Modi prefer Asgard. Many times Magni has suggested that Ullr take the throne, but no one will accept this. The first time he used his powers to defend the Earth was when he was barely old enough to walk. Loki, seeking revenge on his brother in the most intimate of ways, sought out Jane and her children to kidnap and kill them all in the slowest, most torturous way. Magni, while not very old, had always been strong, and easily overcame Loki’s trap, destroying his plans and nearly killing Loki with his brute strength and element of surprise. Loki swore to kill the child and his family, and left just as Thor was arriving to rescue them. When Odin gave the throne to Thor, Thor passed along Mjolnir to his son, who had to spend several years training with and earning the trust of his father’s sacred weapon. Though he was born and raised on Earth, Magni still is confused by many of Earth’s customs, as he was taught on Asgard. He is also not particularly bright, but has a lot of heart. 

Name: Melissa “Missy” Stark

Gender: Female

Predecessor: Ironman (Tony Stark)

Parents: Tony Stark and Pepper Potts

Allies and Affiliations: New Avengers, Dr. Bruce Banner,

Source of Power: Metal suit, arc reactor heart assistant

Abilities: Flight, strength, plasma blasts, lasers, hyper intelligence

Face Claim: Olivia Wilde

Biography: Missy as a child was very sickly. Her father, not wanting to lose his only daughter, teamed up with Doctor Bruce Banner to try and keep her going. When it became apparent that it was her heart that was the problem, Tony fitted her with a version of his magnetic field generator, but instead of magnetizing metal to keep it away from her heart he developed it so that it became a power source and kept her heart beating. Growing up, Missy knew her father was Ironman but slightly resented the fact because it meant he was put in great danger. Though he assured her he knew what he was doing, she sided with her mother whenever things got out of hand for him. However, when Missy was in her teens and just about ready to graduate college (she had inherited her father’s genius) there was a massive break-in at the Stark estate. Her mother, Pepper, was kidnapped and her father was away on a trip with the Avengers. For the first time, Missy donned a suit her father had worked tirelessly to create; though it didn’t fit quite right it was just the thing for the job. She rescued her mother and delivered the invaders to the police. Although Pepper was rescued, she had been tortured for information involving the Avengers, and was never quite the same again. Missy vowed to protect innocents from then on, and went on to develop her own version of the Ironman suit, walking in her father’s footsteps and eventually taking over for him when he finally put his suit away for the last time.

I’m working on profiles for my own version of the Avengers. These are the Avenger’s kids and what they do in the New Avengers Project. Everything is based in a brand-new universe outside of all the previous Marvel ones and are based on what I’ve read and my own headcanons. I’ll be writing a concurrent story to go with the profiles as soon as I’ve finished them all. I’ll try posting one a day.
