Line 136:
** For unknown reasons, Hulkling doesn't have a counterpart in the other team. The Dark Young Avengers are somewhat unusual, because the Dark Young Avengers were not gathered together to fight the original Young Avengers, but just want to be heroes. However, they will probably end up under Osborn's control. What's more, some relationships between the members of the Dark Young Avengers mirror those in the Young Avengers. just like Stature and Vision love each other, Big Zero has a crush on Egghead.
** The title of the story arc; "Young Masters", combined with their names, offers a pretty big clue as to where it's going.
* ''[[X-Men]]'' examples:
** In one of the ''
** In the ''Fall of the Mutants'' arc, when the X-Men went missing, the villain Mojo tried to use cloning technology to create his own version of them. He first tried gender-swapped and [[Furry]] versions of them (Mojo is far more concerned with a minion's entertainment value than battle prowress) but considered the results failed experiments [[Bad Boss| and had them destroyed]]. He then created child versions of them (the second incarnation of the "X-Babies", the first being the actual team that had been de-aged) but again considered them a failure and ordered them disposed of... But they escaped, and would ally themselves with ''[[Excalibur (Comic Book)|Excalibur]]'', making this a Subversion. They would ultimately work for Mojo again, after he agreed to a ''very'' long list of contract negotiation conditions in their favor.
* The original Soviet Super Heroes team primarily featured clear counterparts to [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]] team they often opposed. Perun, the Slavic god of thunder, was the Thor counterpart; Sputnik/Vostok, a calculating android, was the Vision's counterpart; the Red Guardian, uber-patriotic Soviet supersoldier, was the Captain America analogue; Surge, a man in a suit of [[Powered Armor]], was Iron Man; Sabercat was the Beast, Vanguard was Hawkeye, Darkstar was the Scarlet Witch, etc.
* Another case of the Psycho Rangers not actually facing their counterparts (because [[Final Crisis|they're dead]]) is the team of knock-off [[New Gods]] that have bedeviled the [[Justice League of America]]: Dr Impossible, the evil Mr Miracle from an early storyline, is now joined by Hunter (evil Orion); Neon Black (evil Lightray); Chair (evil [and dumb] Metron); and Tender Mercy (evil Big Barda).
