Young Justice

Young Justice is a team of younger superheroes, all of whom are in their early twenties or teens.

History
During the events of the Tabula Rasa story arc, Nightwing decided that he had had enough of Batman and left Gotham City behind. He met up with his old friend Roy Harper (the former sidekick to the Green Arrow then known as Speedy who changed his name to Red Arrow after parting ways with his mentor before changing it to Arsenal, his current alias). While the two of them were on patrol in the city, a spaceship crashed nearby. The two humanoid female aliens who emerged from the wreckage were being chased by other aliens. They each kissed Nightwing and Arsenal in order to learn the English language and then quickly left them behind. One of the aliens was killed, and the other that survived, an alien princess named Starfire, was captured.

The commotion caused by the spaceships and aliens drew the attention of Aqualad (a young Atlantean warrior trained by Aquaman), the Blue Beetle (an adolescent of Mexican descent from El Paso, Texas, to whom a malfuctioning Reach scarab named Khaji-Da had attached itself), and the Kid Flash (the sidekick to the Flash). They, along with Nightwing and Arsenal, independently decided to sneak into the alien ship that had taken Starfire. Although they went in separately, they all met up and decided to work together to rescue the princess, which they managed to do after a very hard-fought battle against the leader of the alien kidnappers.

Their first mission as an official team was to take down the Wonder Woman villain the Cheetah, which they managed to do in spite of her super strength and speed.

The team was plagued by the Justice League member the Atom, who played various pranks on them while pinning the prank on another Young Justice member in order to allegedly determine if they were fit to be a superhero team. So far, the Atom's efforts have shown that the members are pretty forgiving and close.
