The world has been through a lot; years, even decades of catastrophic, world-ending events, from the rise of the malicious AI Ultron to the Destroyer of Worlds, Galactus, and everything in-between, but the world has always had heroes to stand up in the face of unimaginable adversity, with no other being more famous (and on a few occasions, infamous) than the Avengers, Earth's mightiest heroes. But in recent times, the Avengers have become a shadow of their former selves; after a confrontation with the Mad Titan Thanos, possessing the powers of the Infinity Stones, the whole universe was afflicted by an event called The Snap, where the Titan used the Infinity Stones to erase half of all life in the universe. Eventually, though, after several years, the heroes of Earth (and even beyond) were able to rectify this catastrophe...But not without its costs. 

Captain America finally hung up his shield, passing both it and his title to Sam Wilson, the Falcon, who had been a faithful companion of his as he fought in the 21st century. Iron Man, having been the one to finish off Thanos with the power of the Infinity Stones, nearly died from it; now he lies near-catatonic in a hidden S.H.I.E.L.D facility suffering from an unknown advanced form of cosmic radiation, slowly killing him, with their top scientists working on an answer to the malaise. In his absence, James Rhodes took back up the mantle of War Machine to fill the void where Stark once stood. Thor has left Earth behind after the events that transpired with Thanos, trying to grapple with the loss of his home, Asgard, as well as his own failings therein. Many other Avengers became estranged as well after the 'Infinity War', as it was, with some of them leaving the Avengers outright or taking a backseat after this latest crisis, for a myriad of reasons. 

The Hulk, who at this point had reached an accord with Bruce Banner and became the entity colloquially known as 'Professor Hulk', recognized the strain the Avengers were now placed under, with members leaving at a rapid pace. Thus, he came to a conclusion; the world would need to be prepared for even further dangers after the Mad Titan's assault, as the uneasy peace they held now wouldn't last. As such, with generous funding from STARK Industries courtesy of Tony's wife and current CEO of the company, Virginia 'Pepper' Potts, Hulk founded [b]Avengers Academy[/b], with the intent of training the next generation of superheroes to face whatever would threaten their world next. The Academy certainly had its work cut out for it, though....[hr]
Hello! my name is Mintz, and I'm here to introduce my take on a Marvel RP; The New Marvels! Focusing on younger (teens to young adults) heroes trying to find their footing with the aid and teachings of the newly-appointed Avengers Academy, learning from the greatest heroes in order to become just as, if not greater. In other words, classic superhero coming-of-age stuff...But in Marvel! 

As a heads-up, I don't know [i]everything[/i] about Marvel. In fact, I'd be scared of anyone who claimed otherwise. This is my own take on the Marvel universe with some spins here and there; I'll try and answer any questions you might have about it to the best of my abilities, but needless to say from the introduction above this, this version of the Marvel universe has already been through the wringer more than a few times, with decades of heroics passing the Earth by. Which brings us to my next point....

My intent when it comes to characters involving this RP will be as such; you can come up with your own original character, as long as they can safely fall into the Marvel Universe without any hitches (which ain't hard lol), create a child of legacy characters (like, say, the son of Steve Rogers or the sort; I already know a few people who'll be involved who are up to this lol), or take existing younger heroes (like, say, Miles Morales or Kamala Khan) and work them around to being your character for this story. But overall, skies the limits! 

I look forward to seeing who might be interested in such a thing. Hopefully, I'll be seeing you all in the Academy. :D
