Youngblood

Youngblood is a fictional superhero team appearing in American comic books published by Image Comics. The team was created by writer Robert Liefeld and artist Marat Mychajlus. The original concept of Youngblood was first introduced in the pages of *Megaton* #1 in 1987 before being officially launched as its own series in 1992.

The core premise of Youngblood revolves around a group of super-powered individuals who operate as a government-sanctioned strike force. Unlike traditional superhero teams, Youngblood often delves into more militaristic and political themes, exploring the complex relationship between superheroes and governmental authority. The team's roster has seen numerous changes throughout its history, with many characters coming and going. Notable early members include Supreme, Chapel, Die Hard, and Psi-Fire.

The initial success of Youngblood was a significant factor in the early growth and popularity of Image Comics, a company founded by artists who sought greater creative control. The series was known for its dynamic artwork and high-octane action sequences. Over the years, Youngblood has been rebooted and re-imagined several times, with different creative teams putting their own spin on the concept. Despite changes in creative direction and a fluctuating presence in comics, Youngblood remains a recognizable entity within the Image Comics universe.
