%% * DarkerAndEdgier: Naturally.Being a product of the Dark Age of Comics (late-1980s to mid-1990s), this is a given. Some examples:
** In ''Youngblood'''s debut issue, in the flipbook story, one of their members telekinectically pops the head of a Saddam Hussein stand-in on the page, and the panel only shows blood gushing from his head.
** A more drastic example occurs in ''Youngblood'' #10: Chapel confronts Spawn (the man he killed) about the latter's pact with devil-like Malebolgia. Then, in the next pages, Chapel [[spoiler:shoots himself in the head, blood, brain matter and bone fragments exploding forth from his head.]]

** A criticism levelled at Liefeld's output was that a lot of the related super-teams who crossed over with Youngblood, such as Brigade, the Berzerkers and Bloodstrike, featured characters that were the same as Youngblood's members save for a quick costume change.

* BoisterousBruiser: Badrock is a teenage boy in the body of a giant hulking rock monster, who thinks that being a famous superhero is ''totally awesome''. His enthusiastic attitude about all the crazy action he gets involved in as a part of Youngblood basically makes him sound exactly like a big fan of [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks Dark Age comics]].

* SharedUniverse: Youngblood has ties to virtually every major Image title in some form or another. Chapel is the man who iced Al Simmons and sent him on the road to becoming ComicBook/{{Spawn}}. The team guest-starred in the original ComicBook/WildCATsWildStorm miniseries. Doc Rocket and Johnny Panic both owe their existence entirely to Moore's ''ComicBook/{{Supreme}}'' - they didn't appear directly but are related to characters introduced therein. Diehard ''did'' appear in ''Supreme'', as a member of the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] Allies of Justice (along with Superpatriot from ''ComicBook/SavageDragon''). And Suprema and Twilight, the series' Supergirl and Robin stand-ins, were members of the team during Moore's run.

A new relaunch of the series began in 2012, published by Image comics, along with ''Comicbook/{{Glory}}'', Erik Larsen's run on ''Supreme'', and ''ComicBook/{{Bloodstrike}}''. None lasted very long, and only ''Comicbook/{{Glory}}'' made a lasting impact.
