History ComicBook / Runaways2015

* '''[[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Molly "Bruiser" Hayes]]''' from the remnants of mainstream MarvelUniverse

'''WARNING''' ''This article contains spoilers, often unmarked, from Creator/MarvelComics'' ComicBook/SecretWars2015 ''event.''

''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' brought us destruction of the MarvelUniverse as well as TheMultiverse and creation of a new Battleworld, made from surviving parts of different Universes and ruled by the iron fist of Doctor Doom. At its capital, Doomstadt, there is a SuperheroSchool, attended by the most promising young individuals from all the Battleworld's domains. However, when a group of students discovers the headmaster has a hidden, nefarious agenda and the school is really an AcademyOfEvil in disguise, they decide there is only one thing to do.

Written by Creator/NDStevenson (''Webcomic/{{Nimona}}'', ''ComicBook/{{Lumberjanes}}''), this series is a more of a SpiritualSuccessor than a straight sequel to the 2003 CultClassic ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' series, following a different cast of characters, but using similar premise to that of the original series. The team roster is composed from alternate versions of various [[KidHero kid and teen superheroes]] from across Marvel's entire history.

* '''[[ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics Jubilation "Jubilee" Lee]]''' from Limbo, the reality where ''ComicBook/Inferno1988'' never ended.

* DolledUpInstallment: The series was pitched to ND Stevenson as Doctor Doom's Hitler Youth. It wasn't until later that they decided to call it ''Runaways,'' and it was only afterward that they realized they couldn't call it ''Runaways'' without at least one character from that series.

'''Confirmed Team Members'''

* AndYouThoughtItWasAGame: Students think the ''Final Exam'' is just a simulation and the losing teams get expelled. [[spoiler:It's a DeadlyGame and those who lose die.]] When the team deduces this, they realize that their only chance is to run because [[HeKnowsTooMuch they know too much]]. Not that headmaster Valeria doesn't hate them enough without this.
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Valeria lost her only apparent friend (Bucky) because whatever she felt herself to be she was just TheDragon.]]
* {{Anticlimax}}: [[spoiler:The final battle ends rather abruptly, as Team Puce is allowed to leave the school after Sanna defects and Bucky agrees to take the fall for their escape. When Bucky is subsequently killed by the Doombots, Valeria is devastated and decides that she doesn't want to be the Headmaster anymore, effectively ending her reign of terror.]]

* DoNotAdjustYourSet: [[spoiler:Cloak, Dagger and Emily hijack every monitor in the school in the last issue.]]

* GirlPosse[=/=]{{Delinquents}}: Jubilee leads an all-girl gang with Pixie and Delphyne Gorgon.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: [[spoiler:Delphyne loses an arm in battle with Sanna and Bucky's team. She keeps it a secret that she can regrow her limbs, feigning injury until the critical moment to overpower Sanna.]]
* TheHeavy: [[spoiler:Valeria to Doom, the whole thing is set up by him for his own reasons.]]

* InNameOnly: Besides the name, the only thing that ties this series to the original is the appearance of Molly Hayes (and rumor has it she was only included because Marvel is legally prohibited from any implication that she was killed off.)

** Dagger brings Cloak [[spoiler:(but she decides to stay to act as diversion... she joins an issue later)]]

* RedShirt: The main characters team gets the in-universe designation of ''Team Puce'' (all teams are named after colors, ''puce'' is reddish-brown), someone somewhere (probably Valeria) wanted to tell them something about their life expectancy. Too bad nobody got it, and Jubilee outright renamed themselves "Team Puke".
%%* SacrificialLion: Pixie

* VillainousFriendship: [[TheDragon Bucky]] and Valeria [[spoiler:until the very end. Even after the last second when Bucky ties to let the others go against Doom's wishes and gets killed for it, for Valeria's utmost horror... no she was not the BigBad either]]

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: In issue 3, Amadeus convinces the team to head to his hometown, only to discover [[spoiler:that his parents have been killed off and their house was destroyed.]]

* CompositeCharacter: Cloak and Dagger are a composite of their 80's and modern incarnations - they are still teenagers as when they started, but their powers are reversed (something that happened to their mainstream counterparts just recently) - Tandy [[TeleportersAndTransporters can teleport]] and Tyrone can [[CastingAShadow create shadow daggers]]. Each also uses the other's codename.

* BiTheWay: The first issue sees Pixie flirting with Dagger. She mentions that she used to date Jubilee, but it didn't work out.
