We Used to Be Teen Heroes—Here Are THE Forgotten Young Justice Characters That Shocked Fans! When you think of Young Justice, one name immediately stands out: Superman.

These forgotten young figures weren’t just background players; some stunned fans with shocking arcs, emotional depth, and complex personal struggles that laid the foundation for today’s rich legacy of teen-driven storytelling. ### Rediscovering the Teen Heroes of the Original Young Justice Era When Young Justice rebooted in 2006, fans returned to a gritty, serialized world featuring a new generation of superheroes—teens grappling with identity, responsibility, and legacy. While characters like Superboy, Kid Flash, and Raven became household names, dozens of others barely aired but left indelible marks. These young heroes brought fresh perspectives, raw vulnerability, and brave narratives that quietly shocked or moved audiences.
