A hero with all of the style, panache and gadgetry of [[James Bond]], the [[Teen Superspy]] exists to save the world (or maybe just the kids) from megalomaniacs bent on world domination. And he'll do it all without being old enough to have a martini. Or drive. And he'll still have to find time to do his homework.
Line 10:
The [[Teen Superspy]] is the [[Improbable Age|implausibly young]] agent of secret agency. Perhaps she's been [[Tyke Bomb|trained from birth]] for this role. Perhaps she's carrying the legacy of a missing or dead parent. Perhaps the government figures no one will suspect children of being secret agents. Perhaps they were just in the wrong place at the right time. Whatever the case, expect them to have [[Shoe Phone|an arsenal of high-tech spy gadgets disguised as typical teen paraphernalia]].
 
Compare [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save Thethe World]].
{{examples}}
 
Line 50:
* [[James Bond]] has a whole series of ''[[Young Bond]]'' novels about him as a [[Teen Superspy]].
** He only acts as an official spy in the final novel ''By Royal Command''.
* [[Artemis Fowl (Literature)|Artemis Fowl]] is one, albeit self-employed. No government agencies for him - Artemis has the style and the gadgets. Juliet is another, and even joins a SWAT team in ''The Eternity Code''.
* ''[[Kim]]'' is a moderate example. He starts off in a plausible non-super way as a [[Street Urchin]] who is used by a passing spy to carry messages for him. The only thing super about him is his ability to flawlessly enter every culture in India.
* Phoenix in ''[[Red Handed]]'' is training to be an alien hunter.
Line 60:
 
* Benjamin "Beans" Baxter, Jr from ''[[The New Adventures Of Beans Baxter]]''
* ''[[MIM.I. High]]''
* ''[[Connor Undercover (TV)|Connor Undercover]]''
* The 9-year-old lead character in ''[[Joe 90]]''.
* The yellow ranger of spy-themed ''[[Tokumei Sentai Gobusters (TV)|Tokumei Sentai Gobusters]]'' is 16 years old. Her two teammates don't qualify though as they're both aged in their 20s.
* ''[[Aim High]]'', a web series.
 
== Video Games ==
 
* Raz becomes this at the end of ''[[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]]''; a ''psychic'' secret agent.
* {{spoiler|Sakazaki Yuuya}} in ''[[Hatoful Boyfriend]]'' turns out to be one investigating {{spoiler|Dr. Iwamine Shuu and the Hawk Party}}. If the player completes his route, the heroine runs away with him and it's implied that they become partners.
 
== Web Comics ==
 
* Teen [[Gender Bender|T-Girl]] Cookie Jarr is one of ''[[Jet Dream (Webcomicwebcomic)|Jet Dream]]'''s main characters . Her [[Spin-Off]] series ''[http://tgcaps.com/caps/modcomics/suedenim/jetdream/itscookie01/itescookie1_01.jpg.php It's Cookie!]'' focuses on her exploits as leader of the J.E.T. T.E.E.N. organization of teenaged NATO operatives. She also encounters several teen superspies from other agencies, including Brian Bell, "the CIA's top Teenagent," and enemy spies [[Easy Sex Change|"He-She Svetlana"]] of [[Moscow Centre|the KGB]] and Captain Boris Volkov, "the [[Reds Withwith Rockets|Red Army]]'s top Saboteen."
* ''[http://spy6teen.com Spy6teen]'' features sixteen year old, Cally Calhoon, who works for a hi-tech government agency called MK Black between classes.
 
Line 81:
* ''[[Totally Spies]]''
* ''[[The Amazing Spiez]]''
* ''[[James Bond Jr.]]''
* ''Princess Natasha''
* ''[[Kids Next Door]]''
** Point of order: the Kids Next Door, strictly speaking, are tweens. [[Teens Are Monsters|They consider actual teenagers the enemy.]]
* ''[[Grossology]]''
* ''[[Butch Cassidy and Thethe Sundance Kids]]'': [[Teen Superspy]] rock musicians, no less!
* ''[[Bruno the Kid (Animation)|Bruno the Kid]]''. Partially subverted in that his employing agency thought he was an adult, due to his using an avatar when communicating with them.
* ''[[Mary Kate and Ashley In Action]]''. No, really.
* ''[[Invisible Network of Kids]]''
