A new team of heroes rises! The patriotic girl without a world in need of a home, the insecure newbie striving to be a better super hero, the illegal immigrant with a tortured past and a dream, the disillusioned Midwesterner desperate for direction, and the veteran team player given a second lease on life--they are Nomad, Araña, Toro, Gravity and Firestar. They are the Young Allies! While these young heroes try to find their place in the unforgiving world of vigilante justice, a team of teen terrors made up of the unwanted children of super villains is terrorizing Lower Manhattan. They're the Bastards of Evil--and their motivation is mayhem, destruction and becoming Internet celebrities. The Allies will have to grow up fast if they hope to challenge these delinquents with daddy issues.
