well, he did have that whole plotline where he was revealed to be a Skrull who was heir to the empire and all the drama that went along with that, but you're right that his character development was pretty neglected overall

ayrt

lmao, those Red Letter Media reviews are hilarious. And yeah, pretty much the only descriptive words that come to mind when I think of Teddy are "Secret Skrull" and "Billy's boyfriend". Poor guy

Sounds like you need to read all the stuff that came before Children's Crusade. CC was very much Wiccan's story. And really I'd say the X-men and Avengers were more at fault for most of the crap that went down in that story. Trying to keep Wiccan captive, Wolverine trying to kill him, showing up and demanding to take the Scarlet Witch with them. The Young Avengers deserved that promotion long before CC happened anyway.

It might be worth noting here that Billy and Wanda had actually met once, before he knew he had powers and that he was her son.

Billy used to get bullied at school for being gay and used to go to the by then abandoned Avengers Mansion to lick his wounds. Wanda ran across him there, healed his wounds and basically gave him a pep talk about not having to hide or be ashamed of who he is and standing up to bullies. I'm not sure if she already was his favourite Avenger at that point, but she certainly was afterwards. I always attributed his need to find her in part to that.

I don't think the X-Men had a leg to stand on, though. For God's sake, they have Magneto on their team now.

I'd make the distinction that he's defined by being Billy's boyfriend, but not by the fact that he's gay, if that makes sense.

CC was a goddamn mess. I prefer the original run of YA and their team-ups with the Runaways to everything that came out after that.

Honestly no. It's always sort of been Billy's story. Even Hulking's personality seems to try and cater to what Billy wants (that might not even be what he actually looks like, because he's a shapeshifter) -- the Young Avengers mini where they went into their backgrounds did a better job. I think he has the potential to be really interesting and the new run almost kind of explored that by having them break up, but he's kind of the stereotypical "girlfriend" of the group role (which for the blonde, hulky character is kind of funny).

Children's Crusade is... not good.

The original YA run is a lot of fun, but both Children's Crusade and Gillen's recent run are hot messes.
