Hi my name is

Ex-villains graduating to “weird uncle” status.

Ex-villains and hero(es) turning the events of previous battles into bizarre inside jokes.

Ex-villains embracing the power of friendship and love.

Ex-villains putting up walls and keeping to themselves until the heroes teach them what it means to trust someone.

Ex-villains messing up and being forgiven because redemption is a process, not an endgame.

Ex-villains being shy and uncertain about their new place as a hero.

Bonus: Ex-villains hiding behind their hero friends during moments of shyness and uncertainty.

Ex-villains being tempted back to the dark side only to realize how much their newfound friendships mean to them.

Ex-villains pretending to return to the dark side, and using their villain cred to be a mole/saboteur on the heroes’ behalf.

Ex-villains taking the same skills and character traits that made them effective villains and using them for good.

Ex-villains defeating current villains by being better at those skills and traits than they are.

Ex-villains being rejected by almost everyone except the very few willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Ex-villains being ferociously protective of those few.

Ex-villains convincing old allies and friends to follow them to the light side.

Ex-villains helping their hero friends through guilt and self-doubt by reminding them that your mistakes don’t make you and it’s never too late to turn things around.

Ex-villains receiving unconditional trust and affection from someone small and innocent, and having no idea what they’re supposed to do with that.

Ex-villains reuniting with heroic loved ones that they don’t have to fight against anymore.

But Skrillex doesn’t drop the beat. Instead, he clutches it in his hands, unable to let it go, dooming the fate of the world in his greed.

Fanart - The Four Elements Specialized

Interesting how the first three elements exclusively feature specialized benders (you can even see Zuko in the background for the Lightningbending art, since we only ever knew him to redirect lightning not conjure it) while only three of the five in the Airbender set have displayed any enhanced spiritual powers akin to Jinora’s explicit specialization of Airbending, spirit projection. Aang has done something similar many times during his journey, and Tenzin was able to project his inner enlightenment out into the Fog of Lost Souls in order to dissipate it and save his family.

After Wiccan is the third in the Young Avengers lineup: Katherine Bishop. The daughter of a rich magnate, Kate never felt comfortable with wealth, donating money to soup kitchens, women’s shelters, and other worthy causes. When she was raped, Bishop received the best therapy that money could buy; she also undertook an intensive fitness and self-defense training regimen. Determined never again to let herself or anyone be victimized if she could, Bishop studied fencing, kickboxing, martial arts, and archery. Outfitting herself with equipment formerly used by Clint Barton, a new Hawkeye was born.

The second in the Young Avengers lineup is none other than William Kaplan. When Billy told his folks about being an aspiring hero, they assumed he was revealing his relationship with Teddy; though his parents thought the boy would make an excellent son-in-law, they were unaware that their son was a witch dating a shapeshifter. The nature of his heroic activities and the danger associated with them became apparent when the Super Skrull nearly destroyed the Kaplans’ home trying to kidnap Altman, resulting in a death in the family. Wiccan has a wide range of abilities derived from an unconfirmed source. Even accepting that he is the reincarnated son of Scarlet Witch, where exactly his powers come from is unclear. Wiccan uses his magic through a unique form of self-taught spell casting involving stating an effect that he wants to happen.

Raised in a dimension out of time, America Chavez wants to prove herself, running to other places and adopting the moniker Miss America. USA demonstrates self-propelled flight, is flame retardant and bulletproof, can create portals to travel between realities, and has enough strength to, in the [probably exaggerated] words of Loki, “throw tanks to the moon.”
