[[caption-width-right:317:Everything that was wrong with "Heroes Reborn" in a single image]]
'''Heroes Reborn''' was a 1996-1997 crossover story arc among comic-book series published by the American company Marvel Comics. During this one-year, multi-title story arc, Marvel temporarily outsourced the production of several of its most famous comic books to the studios of its popular former employees Jim Lee and RobLiefeld.
Following the apparent deaths of Comicbook/TheAvengers, Comicbook/FantasticFour, and DoctorDoom battling ComicBook/{{Onslaught}} in ''Onslaught: Marvel Universe'', they were "reborn" and certain aspects of their earlier stories were expanded with the intent of telling their adventures anew for modern generations. This was eventually explained, in-story, as their having been transported into a pocket universe by Franklin Richards, the near-omnipotent, psychic son of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, to save them, where they lived in the so-called "Franklin-verse", oblivious to what had happened to them. Once the contract for the titles expired, the heroes were brought back to the mainstream Marvel Universe in the miniseries ''Heroes Reborn: The Return'' (or simply ''Heroes Return'').
Doctor Doom returned to this universe in a series of one shots and found it in ruins with supervillains running rampant. He eventually managed to bring this Earth into the main Marvel Universe on the position of Counter Earth.
An ''Onslaught Reborn'' miniseries featured an alternate version of the Heroes Reborn universe.
The current "final" storyline of ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' also involves the Heroes Reborn universe.

!!Tropes associated with this work:
* AmnesiaDanger: CaptainAmerica. Heroes Reborn started with him as an ordinary family man with a loving wife and son -- who dreamed of WorldWarII battlefields each night. He eventually learned that SHIELD had mindwiped him to keep him under control, and that his wife and son were Life Model Decoy robots.
* TheAtoner: Tony Stark.
* BadassBeard: This is the first place that Tony Stark started to sport one in addition to BadassMustache. Notable because (aside undoing the mutated Wasp and Teen!Tony from ''ComicBook/TheCrossing''), it was carried other when the heroes returned to the normal Marvel Universe. It's also become so linked to the character that ComicBook/UltimateMarvel, Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, and many other recent incarnations have defaulted to it for Tony.
* TheBerserker: Thor
* BigNo: When giant Loki turned to his back and saw a giant Odin, ready to defy him. "No! It's impossible!"
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: The Swordsman, an ordinary human with nothing but, well, swords, tries to attack Hulk. How ''else'' did you expect it to finish?
* BrotherSisterIncest: When an alternate version of the Heroes Reborn universe's Rikki Barnes is stranded in the mainline Marvel Universe, she meets John Barnes, an alternate version of her brother. Unlike her real brother, who was a criminal, a wannabe Neo-Nazi, and a rather unpleasant person in general, MU!John was kind and helpful. Seeing this as a chance to have the kind of caring brother-sister relationship she never had with her real brother, Rikki befriended John. Unfortunately, this John never had a sister, and he misinterpreted Rikki's intentions. He eventually tried to kiss her. When the shocked Rikki tries to tell him that she couldn't love him that way, John doesn't take it well. At all.
* CaptainErsatz: Rikki Barnes took inspiration from Carrie Kelly, the original female Robin from ''TheDarkKnightReturns''.
** Rikki would receive her own Captain Ersatz, a teen heroine named S.P.I.C.E., in RobLiefeld's later ''Fighting American'' series. This is due to Liefeld recycling art from his unfinished ''Captain America'' run.
* CanonForeigner: Swordsman was initially the only Avenger without a clear Earth-616 counterpart (the original Swordsman was a villain who had died years earlier). In the later ''Heroes Reborn: Remnants'' series, it was revealed he was his Earth's counterpart of [[spoiler: {{Deadpool}}]].
* CompositeCharacter: Hellcat has the codename and civilian identity (Patsy Walker) of her Earth-616 counterpart, but is a [[CatGirl werecat]] like Tigra.
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Reed Richards]], [[DoctorDoom Victor Von Doom]], [[Comicbook/IronMan Tony Stark]], [[Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]], and [[ComicBook/AntMan Henry Pym]] studied together when they went to college. They even called themselves "The Atomic Knights[[note]]no relation to DC's obscure ''[[http://www.dccomics.com/graphic-novels/atomic-knights Atomic Knights]]''[[/note]] of the Round Table" before drifting apart.
* TheFaceless: Hawkeye. In ''Onslaught Reborn'' it becomes a plot point ([[ShockingSwerve sorta]]), when [[spoiler: he is revealed to actually be Wolverine]].
* FantasticVoyagePlot: As in ComicBook/TheKreeSkrullWar, Henry Pym made a voyage inside the Vision, to repair him. But, being a 90's comic book, it was hardly fantastic.
* FifthWeekEvent: Although ''Heroes Reborn'' was only scheduled for twelve issues, each title had a thirteenth issue inserted that was an IntercontinuityCrossover with {{Wildstorm}}'s characters, called "World War III". The Heroes Reborn Earth was also the subject of another Fifth Week Event in 2000.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Onslaught
* GoingToGiveItMoreEnergy: The defeat of Galactus. But Galactus consumes ''planets'', and a mere group of super powered beings are supposed to be capable of generating even more than that, exponentially more than that? Clearly SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale.
* GroundhogDayLoop: The Heroes Reborn take on the Galactus saga. In each of the four titles, the heroes face the threat of Galactus, [[HopeSpot almost defeat him before being curbstomped]], and as [[PlanetEater dinner starts]], Doctor Doom fires up his time machine [[SaveScumming to try another plan]] in another title, saying "[[ArcWords Time and time again]]."
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Bucky rammed the Fantasticar into Onslaught, sending them both into the Negative Zone at the end of ''Onslaught Reborn''. Somehow he wound up in the main Marvel Universe.]]
* InformedAbility: Captain America's leadership. They all praise it, they are all amazed by it, but consider the results. He unleashed a barbaric berserker with super-strength to the world. He can't get Hawkeye and Swordman to follow his command. He let Kang escape. He attacked Hulk... and you may imagine how does that end. Thor, unable to kill, left the team... and he let him go (who began a brawl at some random bar, something that anyone would have guessed it would happen in the immediate future). By not giving room to Hawkeye, he made him resented, a thing that Loki exploited. He did not notice that Hellcat was missing, which led to a disaster. And so on, and so on... Perhaps putting Hawkeye in command wasn't such a bad idea after all: it seems unlikely he could do it ''worse''.
* LeeroyJenkins: Captain America, of all people. An archeology expedition found Thor trapped in amber, and called the Avengers. Captain America rushed to the attack, to liberate him... and only after they do so, he stops to reconsider if liberating a superpowerful berserker from the Viking age was really a good idea.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Things began simple and ordered, with a small sample of characters and each one with an origin story, and then Walt Simonson began to introduce old villains by loads, all taken from out of nowhere. [[spoiler:And yet, that was actually the case. Realizing the nature of the universe, Loki was summoning reflections of characters from the "main" universe, to contribute to his master plan.]]
* TheMagicVersusTechnologyWar:
** First mentioned by the Vision. Thor does not understand his "magic" entrance, so he explains that it's not magic but science. Loki gets rid of him with a magic bolt, and finally gets defeated by a spell of the Scarlet Witch. Magic 1, Technology 0.
** Kang captured the Avengers, but nothing can keep Mjolnir out of Thor's hands, no even the XXX century technology. Magic 2, Technology 0.
** Agatha Harkness appears at the Avengers mansion, and requests to see the Scarlet Witch. The robot in the door does not allow her to pass... so she simply goes intangible and pass. Magic 3, Technology 0.
** Loki gets inside Kang's ship, ignoring his defenses, and absorbs Kang and Mantis without problem. Magic 4, Technology 0.
** Loki gets in the helicarrier's cells, ignoring the guards at the door, and absorbs Modok. Magic 5, Technology 0. Angered by that disappearance, Nick Fury doubles the guards, both inside and outside the cell... and all guards fall unconscious when he absorbs the next pack of prisoners. Magic 6, Technology 0.
** Henry Pym realizes the magical use of the Vision done by Loki, and makes him explode, foiling his scheme. Magic 6, Technology 1.
** The Avengers trick Loki into lowering the shield of his source of power, greatly reducing it, and the big shots from the helicarrier take him down. Counts as a "6", so it's magic 6, Technology 7. Game, set and match for technology!
* MediumAwareness
-->'''Loki:''' The answer, my dear Executioner, is that we are not Asgardians, but projections of someone's wild imagination. But, like Pinocchio, I intend to become a real boy!
* MilitarySuperhero: TheFalcon is a U.S. Air Force officer, and his {{Codename}} is taken from his military call sign. Surprisingly (given the ''Heroes Reborn'' line's DorkAge status), both of these elements were used in the Ultimate comics and ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''.
* MythologyGag
** The Swordsman is sure that he had seen Mantis, Kang's lover, before. In the main continuity, she was his girlfriend, and Kang tried to abduct her many times during ComicBook/TheCelestialMadonnaSaga.
** Henry Pym reduced his size and got into the Vision, to see what was malfunctioning in him. He's sure he did something like that before... he did, during ComicBook/TheKreeSkrullWar.
* NegativeSpaceWedgie: Gamma Core, the nuclear reactor powering Avengers Island, turns out to be this, explaining why [[NoOSHACompliance there is a nuclear reactor near Manhattan]].
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: When things began, Henry Pym and Janet Van Dyne had no super powers, they were just a scientist and his wife. Pym tested a particle to reduce his size and get inside the Vision... and Janet, when she need it, reduced to wasp size, with no reason or explanation. May be explained with the change of writers, as Pym was already Ant-Man when Simonson replaced the disgraced Liefeld, and perhaps he was not informed of this change at the new universe (he must had thought that he working with Pym and Wasp of always)
* OneWingedAngel: Loki becomes all-powerful, and a giant. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in his case, after all he's the son of giants.
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: The Avengers begin with a [[TheBerserker Berserker]] Thor, and some time later they get the regular Thor as well. Berserker Thor does not like his KnightInShiningArmor doppelgänger very much...
* RetCanon: If one thing has stuck from ''Heroes Reborn'' (besides the return of adult!Tony and normal looking!Wasp), it's Tony sporting a BadassBeard in addition to his BadassMustache. It's become so linked to the character that many recent incarnations, including the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel and Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse versions have had Tony with it.
* RevisitingTheRoots: "Heroes Reborn" made many controversial changes, and Walter Simonson tried to make thing a bit "right" again. Captain America took out the wings from the front of his mask, which were not right for some reason, and retrieved the classic big "A". As for Thor, Simonson's favourite character turned into a berserker, he brought instead the "real" Thor, who appears as a second character. Also counts for the Avengers resigning their work as agents of SHIELD (which was a new concept by then) and being again a super hero team on their own.
* SummonBiggerFish: So, Loki became a giant and is walking in the city, Godzilla-style. Who can stop him? Of course, a giant Odin!
* UltimateUniverse: Before Marvel's Ultimate Universe proper, Heroes Reborn was meant as an example of this trope.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Who would have thought Loki would be this type of guy? When he became an invincible giant, he called his father's name, in a "look what I have achieved" stance. Of course, when we talk about Loki's father, [[ObliviousAdoption we don't talk about Odin]], but Ymir, the frost giant.
* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: With his new arrows, allies and element of surprise, Hawkeye was taking the Avengers down one by one, and pointed that "This is just too easy!". Cue for Captain America attacking him from the back, getting the bow out of his hands.
