''Youngblood (2017)'' in a relaunch and SoftReboot of the (in)famous ''ComicBook/{{Youngblood}}'' series originally by Creator/RobLiefeld, written by Chad Bowers (''ComicBook/XMen92'') and drawn by newcomer Jim Towe.
Taking place [[TimeSkip around ten years]] after the original comics, the titular Youngblood have been [[PersonaNonGrata denounced]] by the public as [[NinetiesAntiHero overly-violent murderers]] who were [[OnlyInItForTheMoney only brought together by money and fame]]. Original member Diehard is now the [[ActionPolitician President of the United States]], with Nikola Voganova aka the first Vogue now his wife and First Lady. The other members have been ordered to cease operations or be prosecuted, and new superheroes as a whole are now managed by the "Help!" app.
Help! allows one to contact any nearby superhero to solve crime, with a 5-star rating system given based on their performance. Secretly however, Help! is just a front used to [[SuperhumanTrafficking find, capture and experiment on superhumans]]. The disappearance of one hero in particular, the {{Sizeshifter}} Man-Up, kicks off the plot when his friend Petra Gomez, aka [[LegacyCharacter Vogue II]], sets out to find him. This leads to the reformation of Youngblood, consisting of its two most classic members with four newcomers. They set out to be a RedeemingReplacement to the old team.
That team is:
* Shaft (Jeff Terrel) - The original leader of the team, now leading the new one. [[BadassNormal No superpowers]] but a damned good archer.
* Badrock (Thomas [=McCall=]) - The most iconic member, now stricken with an illness related to his condition.
* Vogue II (Petra Gomez) - A new superhero who took on the identity of the original Vogue following her retirement to become the First Lady.
* Sentinel II (Dolante Murray) - A young tech-genius who built his own PowerArmor and become the new Sentinel, not that he [[DoNotCallMePaul likes being called that]].
* Suprema (Sally Crane) - Adopted sister of ComicBook/{{Supreme}} and an all-around FlyingBrick powerhouse.
* Doc Rocket II (Rachel Richards) - Granddaughter of the original Doc Rocket, she's a [[SuperSpeed speedster]] who [[MotorMouth talks very fast]].
Together, they set out to be [[CallBack the next generation of heroes]].
!!''Youngblood (2017)'' has examples of the following tropes:
* ActionPolitician: Diehard is now the US President, but is no less badass for it. And when push comes to shove, he takes matters into his own hands.
* ArtShift: The first ''Youngblood'' to completely abandon Liefeld's "extreme" art style, instead favoring a cleaner, fluid and more natural look.
* BlandNameProduct: The 2017 relaunch introduces an app called "Help", which is ''Uber'' mixed with ''Yelp'', allowing people in trouble to contact a nearby superhero, and afterwards provide them a out of five-star rating based on how much they rated the rescue and the hero.
* BrokenPedestal: Dolante Murray, the [[LegacyCharacter new Sentinel]] in the 2017 series, was a childhood fan of Marcus Langston, the original Sentinel. After Sentinel was revealed to be a murderer, Dolante hates his former idol to the point where he makes clear that he [[RedeemingReplacement may be taking Sentinel's place]] in the new Youngblood, but he ''won't'' take the name Sentinel [[spoiler: and was part of the hacktavist group "Bloodstream" who revealed the original Youngblood's dirty secrets, destroying the team]].
* BulletCatch: [[FlyingBrick Suprema]] catches one of Vogue's bullets to stop her shooting the Crime Condor's condors.
* CallBack: Badrock introduces Vogue, Doc Rocket, Sentinel and Suprema to Shaft and refers to them as "The next generation of heroes". That was the tagline of the very first issue of ''Youngblood".
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Much of the original's LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters are nowhere to be seen or heard, and it's only assumed they're laying low.
* ContinuityNod: In issue 2, Badrock brings up his old "Yabba Dabba Doom" catchphrase.
* CurbStompBattle: In ''Youngblood'' #2, Shaft has to fight a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mind-controlled]] Doc Rocket. He's a BadassNormal, but she blindsides him and has SuperSpeed. He's only saved by Vogue distracting her long enough for a gas that clears Doc's head to work.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Dolante does ''not'' like being called "Sentinel" due to the original being a murderer. He only reluctantly accepts the name from his teammates, and never does he actually call himself that.
* LegacyCharacter:
** Petra Gomez is the Vogue after Nikola Voganova stepped down to be the First Lady to Diehard.
** Dolante Murray is ([[DoNotCallMePaul reluctantly]]) the new Sentinel after Marcus Langston.
** Rachel Richards is the second Doc Rocket, though she's been around since the '90s, and inherited the title from her grandfather unlike Petra and Dolante.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: Issue 2 has [[BadassNormal Shaft]] having to take on [[PoweredArmor Sentinel]], [[FlyingBrick Suprema]] and [[SuperSpeed Doc Rocket]], who have all been hypnotised to see him as a monster. [[CurbStompCushion He fares pretty well, all things considered]]. It took Doc Rocket blindsiding him and overpowering him with her speed to take him down.
* LighterAndSofter: The overall tone sheds much of the grim 'n' gritty of the old series while being a commentary of it. [[ArtShift The art itself matches]], being the first to ditch the "extreme" style it's known for.
* MyGreatestFailure: Both Diehard and Shaft see the original Youngblood as this. Badrock plans on the new team being Shaft's [[MyGreatestSecondChance chance at redemption]].
--> '''Diehard''': Youngblood's legacy exists as a cautionary tale, and a reminder that privilege and arrogance will go unchecked for only so long before the populace learns the truth.
* OnPatrolMontage: ''Youngblood #1'' has a short, three-panel one for Petra Gomez/Gunner, showing her answering calls for help on her ''Help'' app, complete with ([[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike mixed]]) reviews of her heroics.
* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: Diehard is the President. Since he's [[RetiredBadass retired as a superhero]], he's mostly President Personable, rather than [[ActionPolitician President Action]], but he's still a cyborg with 70+ years of experience kicking ass.
* PhotoDoodleRecognition: In ''Youngblood'' #1, Petra realises missing teenager Horatio Megalos is also the missing vigilante Man-Up after seeing his missing poster and drawing a rough sketch of Man-Up's mask on it.
* RealityEnsues: Petra realises that fellow vigilante Man-Up has mysteriously disappeared... so she goes to the police to report a missing person. The police try to be helpful, but since Petra doesn't know Man-Up's secret identity and so only has a vague idea of his age, what he looks like and where he lives, there's not much they can do.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent President]] Diehard, who upon learning about a new, unsanctioned Youngblood team, chooses not to overreact.
* RedeemingReplacement: The new Youngblood sets out to clear the tarnished name of the old.
* RetiredBadass: Founding Youngblood members Diehard and Vogue have retired from being active superheroes, now having become [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent President]] and First Lady.
* RippleProofMemory: No one remembers Suprema (now calling herself Supreme), but she remembers them and makes a few references to her time with Doc Rocket and Shaft.
* ShoutOut: Shaft [[spoiler: gets an arm ripped off]]. Considering he was based on [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Roy Harper]], it's hard not to see this as a blatant reference to [[spoiler: ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueCryForJustice'']].
* SoftReboot: A TimeSkip, a new team lineup, a new art style, a different tone, a story that stands as a criticism of the old ''Youngblood'', and the numbering has been reset to #1. It feels like a reboot, even calling itself ''Reborn!'', but it's still fully in continuity with the old comics.
* ThreePointLanding: Issue #2 has [[Comicbook/{{Supreme}} Suprema]] landing like this on a car, crushing it and using the shockwaves to knock Shaft backwards.
* TimeForPlanB: In the first issue, after Petra's plan A to find the missing vigilante Man-Up ([[MundaneSolution going to the cops and reporting him as a missing person]]) fails, she tries Plan B, contacting the ''Help'' app he'd been using for more information, which also fails, since the people behind the ''Help'' app aren't very helpful. Plan C, hitting the streets for information at least gets her Man-Up's real identity, but she finally goes straight to Plan "Y": using a new Youngblood team to help find him.
* TrickArrow: Played straight for the first time. Shaft uses an explosive arrow to take down [[FlyingBrick Suprema]], and an arrow that releases a gas to break a villain's mind-control over Sentinel, Suprema and Doc Rocket.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: Badrock in the 2017 run, who is dying of [[SoapOperaDisease McCall's Disease]], a disease named just for him. (It's heavily implied that the experiment that gave him his powers is now killing him). This is what inspires him to help found a new Youngblood team.
--> '''Badrock''': I just want to be remembered for something more than '''[[CatchPhrase "Yabba Dabba Doom"]]'''. This is as close to a legacy as I'm likely to get, and I aim to make a difference before I... well, you know.
