I wanna be able to make an omelet without finding out that I just ate three of Beak and Angel's children!"
    I would want it to be a little more serious than that.

    I don't see Justice or Firestar being that into Krakoa, especially after the global summit. They're not the sort to instantly buy into mutant propaganda and would run off to the Avengers at the first sign that something's off. Telepathic brainwashing stops this, of course. Love to see those two lead a new New Warriors team, like Geoff Johns Teen Titans.

    My one issue with that is the tendency or writers to do the on again off again relationship crap that was most prominent (in my mind) with Kitty and Piotr.

    Probably. There was an article about it in Wizard, back in the day. Way back, when Saturday morning cartoons were still a thing

    Go to Youtube. Look up Super Mansion and Black Saturn.

    That would have been Night Thrasher. And that would have only been the beginning...

    Yeah, I'd like for them to be well and truly over. He moved on (with Ultra Girl), and she hasn't, yet, that I know of, but could. Or not. But shoving them back together seems like a step backwards for both of them (but most especially her).

    Exactly. She needs to find someone too. But she is one of those characters who either are not used...or is a prop piece in the background so there does not seem to be a chance for that to happen. Same with Vance and Suzy.

    That's why I would like to see a couple more Avengers titles with them split between them.

    I have no problem with them having a friendly relationship...and they have a lot of friends in common from their time with the Warriors so they would be running into each other when they all get together.

    Well I remember when she team with the X-men a few years back she was flirting with Iceman who I think was flirting back but then the O5 happen

    Also, don't forget there was something brewing between Firestar & Gravity when they were members of the Young Allies during the Heroic Age:

    When was the last time anyone saw Gravity?

    He pretty much vanished when Young Allies ended.

    After his destruction of Las Vegas in Fear Itself (okay, sure, Juggernaut and Hardball helped, but he was supposed to be the good guy!), I'm pretty sure I don't want to see Gravity anymore, anyway. (And is he even old enough to be legally dating someone like Angelica? I don't mind some May/December action, but only when it's Doug and Betsy...)

    I think I want Angelica to be friends with Suzi/Ultra Girl, just to drive Vance crazy. He totally deserves it.

    It's interesting how far, far beyond the others Rich / Nova has gone. To infinity and beyond, he's very much the grown up cosmic space hero, and the others, not so much. I don't think he could really be a part of their world anymore, and they wouldn't know how to treat him, remembering a much different man than the one he's become.

    That is unfortunately the way so many characters end up.

    They have all grown in their own ways....but yeah...Rich went further. But as I just said it depends on writers wanting to use the characters and develop them. And most of the OG Warriors have been relegated to background in larger stories.

    I think they were both legal adults in college by the time they paired up.

    So true. How many of the Champions will still be active ten years from now? Kamala and Miles will be. Maybe Ironheart and Unstoppable Wasp. But the rest? If the team gets axed, most of the members will be history. Numerous New Warriors, teenage X-Men, and other teen heroes have found themselves on the scrapheap over the past 30 years. And think how many Titans at DC are in the same boat.
