Character Depository
As the centuries have gone by, humans have sworn that they were the only intelligent beings in the world. Deities, werewolves, vampires, dragons. They were all just things made up to scare children into going to bed early. Aliens were made up by crazy people who had spent too much time in the desert drinking their own piss. Only humans and the animals existed in life. They thought that superhumans were just seen in comics, never something that could be real. Well, that was until the early 1940s when Captain America came around. But after he crashed and disappeared, there was thought that he was one of a kind. Never would humans be capable of doing what he did.
Until the 1960s. The American government the Soviet Union became highly aware that humans weren't the only ones on the planet when mutants became involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis. You would think that something like that would immediately hit the papers and fill the news, but it didn't. After everyone parted their ways, the mutants went silent and the government chose to ignore their existence when they couldn't be found. No need to send the world into a state of mass hysteria for hopefully no reason. And so, mutants had become only speculation. Sure, mutants popped up here and there all over, but most people were too ashamed or scared to admit that there was an “abomination” in their family. It went mostly unnoticed when mutants were snatched away for experimentation.
But the entire human race became highly aware that humans weren't the only things walking the earth. In the year 2007, famed scientist Bruce Banner tore through New York and “broke Harlem” as what became known as “Hulk” in a battle for the ages against the twisted Abomination before disappearing. Shortly after, Tony Stark returned from his kidnapping and soon debuted himself as Iron Man, the world's newest superhero and “privatizing world peace”, as he puts it. So, people had somewhat adjusted to the idea that maybe every now and again strange things would happen. But it all came from earth. Nothing they couldn't handle.
It was in July of 2010 when the Asgardian crown prince (Thor) had made his first appearance on our little rock. At first, people just thought he was a crazy man who had been wandering drunkenly around the desert. Until Sif, Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral (Also known as The Warriors Three) showed up, followed by The Destroyer. Loki's grudge match with his brother leveled a small town in New Mexico before Thor disappeared with the Destroyer and his companions, promising to return when he was needed. People were somewhat okay with what happened – Thor and his friends saved people. But knowing that there were other things out there (And that the Scandinavians apparently weren't crazy) frightened them. But their minds were put at ease in 2011 when Loki attacked with his Chitauri army, only to be thwarted by the Avengers, comprised of Captain America (who had been thawed out months before the attack), Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Iron Man. After the Battle of NYC, the Avengers went their own separate ways until they would be needed again.
But Director Fury had another idea.
He began to pull up files from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s academies for their brightest and most promising future agents as well as files from their watch list of people who were a bit more than what they appeared to be. After a discussion with the six heroes, they decided that they would take a group of children and young adults with promise under their wings and mentor them to be future Avengers.
So, these kids (or young adults, age depending) were handpicked by the Avengers themselves. Either from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database of Agents in Training at one of the academies, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s watch list (for mutants/superhumans, or just plain amazing people), previous acquaintanceship/relationship with one of the Avengers, or simply having been in the right place at the right time doing the right thing.
Whether they have just one mentor or find themselves learning from many of them is up to you as the writer, just make sure that their skill set and learning capacity agree with who their mentor is.
