Young Americans/Comics

The Young Americans are a group of teenage superheroes. The group's supes theme themselves around American patriotism and are ideologically conservative.
== History ==
The Young Americans are one of the lesser superhero groups besides the Seven to have a contract with Vought-American. Their public image is considerably more wholesome and less rebelious than that of the other leading teenager superheroes group, Teenage Kix. Later on, it is revealed that despite presenting a modest and conservative image to the public, it is merely a facade. Starlight turns out to be the only team member genuinely adhering to these values.
After selecting The Standard as their leader, the Young Americans obtained a police scanner and began addressing minor issues such as traffic accidents and bar fights. Their first significant mission involved assisting with a substantial flood during the fall. Vought provided them with precise coordinates and instructions for the task, emphasizing the importance of avoiding interference with the primary rescue efforts in urban areas—presumably to maintain privacy in case of any mistakes.
Their execution of the assignment was successful enough to garner media attention and, subsequently, Vought's approval. The Young Americans were catapulted to celebrity status, earning them comic books, cameos on TV shows, logos, and clothing lines. Their primary focus was kept into disaster relief.
At some unknown point, Drummer Boy would become team leader in The Standard's place. Shortly before the events depicted in The Boys, Starlight was chosen from the team to join the Seven. Her exit from the group led the remaining members to believe she might not come back, prompting them to relax since there were many things happening that she wasn't aware of.
== Trivia ==
* They may be based on the Force of July from DC Comics, a group of young, patriotic metahumans sponsored by the United States government who fought with on several occasions with Batman's black-ops team The Outsiders. Although not truly villainous, they were simply ideological fanatics blinded by their own jingoistic conservatism (as well by manipulations of their supervisor Eric Blairman) into believing the Outsiders were communist "subversives" plotting to destroy America.
