When the team first got together - the original for Young Avengers, I mean - we kind of... got caught up in the whole "we're super heroes!" mentality way too early. I mean, we were just in training, so we weren't heroes yet, and the only thing super about us was that we had powers we could barely control. We were eager and... a little egotistical, I guess. And we tried to take down a criminal way too strong for us.

[Sigh. The Electro disaster is the great shame of Young Avengers history, really.]

We were a mess. Disorganized, clumsy, and we got our butts kicked for it. We could've gotten killed trying to be heroes before we were ready.
