Heck, wouldn't America's star portal powers allow her to just pick them up, and then send them back home when they're no longer needed?

One thing I've always wondered about Outlawed, is if other books were cancelled that were never announced. The teaser art for it showed quite a few characters who didn't end up being involved. They announced three books (Champions, Power Pack, and New Warriors) and two tie-ins in existing ongoings (Magnificent Ms. Marvel and Miles Morales: Spider-Man). When COVID hit, plans obviously got changed. New Warriors was never published, the other books were delayed six months, and Ms. Marvel got cancelled immediately after her tie-in arc. So it seems likely that there was more stuff planned we never knew about. Perhaps one would've involved either the Young Avengers, or Kelly Thompson's West Coast Avengers team (which might as well have been YA considering Clint Barton was the only adult and it included Kate and America) which was still supposed to be active at the time even though the book had ended (there was a scene in Champions showing WCA HQ being raided).

That and they're constantly making new teen hero teams, dumping the old and none of them stick. Outside the New Mutants in the X-Men, none of the young/teen hero groups of Marvel have lasted. It's one of the reasons why I want them aged up. The funny thing about the synergy is despite the tease in the Marvels movie, nothing has happened in the comics. Probably just waiting for the team to be announced and base a new comic around those characters. So even then it likely isn't going to be what a traditional YA fan would want anyway. Volume 3 feels like a dream that just won't come true.
I'd take a cosmic adventure. I'd take any kind of adventure. These characters appear so rarely and when they do they disappear just as quickly. It's not just the Young Avengers. Marvel has a bunch of characters not being used anymore yet several other characters have like two books out. Marvel just needs more team up books in general to give these less popular characters a chance.
And what if they don't know they're needed on Earth? I don't think telephone or Internet tech is interstellar!

Ex-Young Avenger Prodigy is in NYX (the other members are Ms. Marvel, Wolverine, Anole and Sophie Cuckoo). Might Speed end up guesting?

Who, Tommy? It's debatable. During the Hellfire Gala he attended, he was wearing the ''guest flower'', which implies he never got a formal invitation to Krakoa. Marvel has kept his (and Billy's) status as mutants very ambiguous over the years, likely because Wanda's and Pietro's statuses have also been a continuity mess.
But regardless, I wouldn't mind seeing Tommy being more involved in X-stuff, even if he's not a mutant. It's not like there's a rule saying non-mutants can't be supporting characters in X-books. It would be nice for him to get any content these days.

This story continued with Blade's daughter, Brielle Brooks, getting recruited by Jericho Drumm.
Was NOT expecting her at all.
This has me doubly curious as to where this story is going. Is it in response to the impending vampire-storyline waiting in the wings?
A young anti-vampire squad?
So a Young Avenger update for good ole Speed.
spoilers:end of spoilers
Tommy's been making numerous appearances in Scarlet Witch and Quicksilvers book. He teamed up with Uncle Pietro to fight a few of the Fearsome Four hundred goons, talked about David being his boyfriend and being dead. Pietro gave Tommy a mission to go avenge and honor him and that was basically it. It wasn't much but I'm just glad to see Tommy/Speed in a book no matter how minor or small the role it.
Also Kate Bishop being in Blood Hunt is like the main thing that has me excited for the vampire event. I hope she's done well.
I mean IdK who’s writing that new X-book David is going to appear in next but I do hope they at least follow up with this storyline & David at least attempts to tell his boyfriend he’s alive & doesn’t just ghost Tommy for Anole or some BS he’ll id love to see Tommy join the X-side of things on a more consistent basis but I’m a realist IDK basically I just hope theirs some follow through & Tommy actually does maybe go after Orchis in some capacity & maybe David interferes IdK something.
NYX is by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing.
