Line 1:

This is basically the [[Spinoff Babies]] trope applied to real people. The idea is to take [[Historical Domain Character|Historical Domain Characters]] and depict them in their youth. It can be played for laughs--implying that people we normally think of as reserved, stoic, or even evil [[Former Teen Rebel|were once young and reckless themselves]]. (Or the opposite, where they are shown to possess the same traits and interests that later made them famous, even if realistically these would have come much later.) Of course, it may also be played straight.
