Among the great accidents of genius comes the most wild ride in comics. An Amerivan comic rooted in its own micro-section of the Mável Universe. The Runaways are not a group of heroes or a group of villains. The Runaways are a group of kids with skills and abilities passed down to them by their would-world conquering parental units. At the heart of everything, The Runaways are kids, with kid attitudes and kid problems.
They have other issues too. Everyone on the Marvel Universe is looking for them. Some want to save them, somr want to exploit them. The Runaways are just, a group of kids trying to make it on their own as a family while trying to stay alive on the road
My advice, find it, read it, make it part of your life.
The usual Wikipedia stuff
Runaways is a superhero comic book series published by Marvel Comics. The series features a group of teenagers who discover that their parents are part of an evil crime organization known as "The Pride". Created by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona, the series debuted in July of 2003 as part of Marvel Comics' "Tsunami" imprint. The series had been canceled in September 2004 at issue eighteen, but due to high numbers of trade collection sales, Marvel revived the series in February 2005.
Originally, the series featured a group of six kids whose parents routinely met every year for a charity event. One year, the kids spy on their parents and learn they are "the Pride", a criminal group of mob bosses, time-travelers, dark wizards, mad scientists, alien invaders and telepathic mutants. The kids steal weapons and resources from their parents, and learn they themselves inherited their parents' powers; Alex Wilder, a prodigy, leads the team while Nico Minoru learns she is a powerful witch, Karolina Dean discovers she is an alien, Gertrude Yorkes learns of her telepathic link to a dinosaur, Chase Steinsteals his father's futuristic gloves, while young Molly Hayes learns she is a mutant with incredible strength. The kids band together and defeat their parents, and atone for the sins of their parents by fighting the new threats trying to fill in the Pride's void. After being betrayed by Alex who was killed by the Gibborim (The Pride's God) they are later joined by cyborg Victor Mancha, shape-shifting Skrull Xavin, and plant-manipulator Klara Prast.
Since the original groups' introduction, the Runaways have been portrayed as a somewhat dysfunctional yet loving family. Series creators Brian K. Vaughanand Adrian Alphona left the series at issue twenty-four of the title's second volume. The second volume was continued by Joss Whedon and Michael Ryan until they departed at issue thirty. Writer Terry Moore and artist Humberto Ramos became the creative team for two story arcs. After one issue written by Christopher Yost and James Asmus, Kathryn Immonen and Sara Pichelli became the new creative team. The book was cancelled in 2009, though this was initially called a hiatus; the last issue released was Volume 3, number 14, released in September 2009, cover-dated November of that year.
Originally, the team featured six main Runaways, remaining constant throughout the first volume (18 chapters) of Runaways.
The original six are:
Nico Minoru, the daughter of dark wizards, is a witch capable of manipulating magic. She is the group's leader.
Karolina Dean, the daughter of alien invaders, is a solar-powered alien. She is a lesbian and in a relationship with Xavin
Molly Hayes, the daughter of telepathic mutants, is a mutant whose powers include super-strength and invulnerability
Chase Stein, the son of mad scientists, steals his father's flame generating/manipulating gauntlets called "the Fistigons".
Alex Wilder, the son of mafia bosses, was a child prodigy at strategic thinking and planning.[42]
Gertrude Yorkes, the daughter of time-traveling criminals, used to have an empathic and telepathic link with Old Lace.
Old Lace, a genetically engineered dinosaur from the 87th century, had a telepathic and empathic bond with Gert and Chase.
Later members include:
Victor Mancha, the creation of the Avengers' foe Ultron and Marianella Mancha, is a cyborg who can manipulate electricity and metal.[42]
Xavin, the child of Skrull warlords, can shape-shift and also manifest the powers of the Fantastic Four.[42]
Klara Prast, a Swiss immigrant to America from 1907 and child bride of an abusive older man, can control the growth of plants.[43]
