Some random headcanons for my version of the mcu young avengers
Check out my timeline and aesthetic board posts for more context behind these things. I would really love to hear anyone else's headcanons or anything they'd like to add to this.
He was super asthmatic before becoming a super soldier, like had to carry an inhaler everywhere with him
He is technically military, but just as Patriot
Wears his and his grandfather's dog tags
You best believe he copied that brown leather jacket Steve Rogers look
He was offered a different shield more similar to the current Captain America shield, but he opted to stick with the original shield design
Kate gave him a pair of red converse for his birthday once and he wears them on missions sometimes because he thinks they look good with his suit
Kate actually got him on docs too, he has a red pair of those too
The first time he went to New York City, he was absolutely amazed, Kate took him to the best pizza place
Him and Riri are the best friends ever, Riri likes to joke that it only works because she's a lesbian
Just like he left Peter E.D.I.T.H., Tony left Harley a new version he remade of Jarvis, it's the primary AI he uses now
Whenever he tells people he inherited Stark Industries, they immediately assume that he was Tony’s biological son because he really does look like he could be
When a mission went bad once, Harley ended up getting stabbed near his chest, and instead of undergoing surgery to fix his innards, he literally just put an arc reactor on his chest, he does eventually get it fixed for real though
He hides the Tennessee accent pretty well, but if he's comfortable enough, or drunk enough, he'll let it out
Before and after they're dating, Harley buys Cassie literally anything she wants, and anything she mentions ever, she was pretty annoyed at it at first, but eventually she accepted that there was nothing she could do about it
Cassie helped him to not be one of those rich people that people are talking about when they say "eat the rich", he's actually a pretty beloved billionaire
Her and Clint realized it was pretty hard to communicate sometimes with the deafness, so they both learned sign language, and it comes in handy in all kinds of situations now
They also gave each other matching name signals, big hawk and little hawk
She loves to wear converse with her suit and she has a purple pair she always wears, once for his birthday, she gave Clint a matching pair, and even though he complains, he still wears them
Clint gave her an arrow necklace one time and even though he didn't tell her Natasha wore one like it, she could tell it was really important to him and she wears it all the time
She's babysat Nate so many times that she's become super used to referring to Clint as dad because of it, sometimes she accidentally does it when there are no kids around
Her and Yelena occasionally bring their dogs when they hang out and Lucky and Fanny are best dog friends now :)
People always say that she reminds then of Natasha, and she has to pretend like she isn't sad she never got to meet her
Her, Cassie, and Kamala are all best friends, but they always include America in everything
She had no idea how, but she accidentally became Nick Fury's sort of right hand man, she was just doing so much stuff for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the new avengers initiative that it just kind of happened
Fury was super hesitant of her at first, but then he warms up and actually really likes her
When Kamala wants to bring Amadeus into S.H.I.E.L.D., everyone is still suspicious of him, but Fury is reminded of another ex-red room assassin that he trusted and brings him on anyway
She gets super into working at S.H.I.E.L.D. and doesn't see her family for months at a time, she feels super bad about it, but she loves what she does so much she can't really help that happens
She kinda assumed that after a while Harley or Eli would take over as team leader, but they never do, always giving Kamala her rightful position
When she meets America for the first time, she is super surprised when she fangirls over her, but when she tells her it's because she's also a brown female superhero, her heart absolutely melts
She loves training with Amadeus, knowing he's someone she can't hurt, he doesn't say it, but he feels the exact same way
Literally no one is surprised when they start dating
Since starting at NYU, she was arrested four times, luckily Harley had enough money for bail
The police lay off on her mostly once she starts being active with the Avengers
She's really a genius when it comes to Quantum Physics, her grandpa taught her basically everything he knows, Scott knows quite a bit about the subject, but Cassie loves to remind him that she knows more
Scott is always completely befuddled about where grumpy old man Hank goes when it comes to Cassie, she's like his favorite person in the world
She tried to hide the superhero stuff from her mom, but one time she forgets her mom is in the room and casually shrinks down like she would if she hadn't been there
She doesn't tell any of her family when she starts dating Harley, afraid of how they'll react since he's a Stark and there's always been a rivalry there, but once they meet him, they actually really love him
She has an Eat The Rich T-shirt even though the Pym family is actually really wealthy, Harley loves to make fun of her for it
She's actually really good friends with Eli, liking that he stands for America, but still always calls the government out on its shit
He fanboyed when he met Bruce the first time, but now he actually considers him the father figure he never had
His fighting outfits usually look like a mix between Hawkeye and the Winter Soldier
It might be a little cliche for someone who was altered by gamma radiation, but he's always had some anger issues (that Hydra loved to utilize)
His and Harley's friendship is so similar to Bruce and Tony’s it's actually crazy
Literally the seventh smartest person in the world
The older Avengers clocked that he must've had some red room training almost immediately, because he fights so much like Natasha
He told Kamala all about Alex, and she never told him, but she always kept a look out for little blond boys that were rescued from bad situations, just in case he came up somewhere
He ends up getting six PHDs throughout his time, but stops there because he kind of wants Bruce to be a little ahead of him so he'll always feel like a mentor to him
The first time he met Kamala's parents, he kind of expects to be disliked because of what Kamala has said about her parents and boys, but they actually really love him, Kamala says she's pretty sure it's because he's an Asian genius
He can ride a motorcycle and it's pretty badass
She had a HUGE lesbian crush on Shuri when they met and she just assumed it was a silly little thing, but when she learns Shuri is also gay, she's convinced she has a chance
She doesn't really get his she ended up being best friends with Harley, but she loves to mess with him
She met Rhodey once and he was a little confused by her, but she was really funny so he liked her
Harley finds FRIDAY in Tony’s old stuff and gives it to Riri to use as her suit AI, the whole team basically uses Jarvis all the time though
She goes back to Wakanda all the time and she's so active there that everyone basically knows her name
She meets Bucky there one time and she's super shocked to find out he was adopted into the royal family and the people actually accept him as one of the queens kids and T'Challa and Shuri's brother, she loves the name White Wolf though
All of the girls hang out together every once in a while (Riri, Kate, Cassie, Kamala, America) and just talk about everything that's going on in their lives
When she first meets Harley, she's still struggling to find a stable power source for her suit, and he shows her how to make an arc reactor the way Tony always did
She started calling Stephen dad way before he adopted her, that was actually one of the reasons he decided to, she clearly already saw him as her father
She loves living in the sanctum because of all the weird things that just happen there all of the time
Her and Loki hang out on rooftops and lot, so Stephen doesn't know she's hanging out with him after he told her not to
After her and Loki are the closest friends, she starts always stealing his clothes, it doesn't help when people always tell her she looks good in green, Loki eventually gives up on getting her to stop
After Kamala became a public hero, America saw her as her role model because of what she represents, when she meets Kamala and the other girls, she absolutely freaks out
She loves making jokes about the last name Strange, "You're strange" "No, that's my dad"
One time Eli asked her where she gets all of her American themed clothes and rhw whole group laughed for like twenty minutes
He has the most mommy issues ever, like he resents Wanda so much, he's not so fond of his father either
After so long of searching for Tommy, he's heartbroken that Tommy wants nothing to do with him at first, upset that he essentially always left him in the dark and left him behind in the hex void when he got a new body
Making up with Tommy makes him so happy that he actually doesn't leave his brother's side for days
He doesn't remember any realization moment, he's always kind of known that he was gay, but basically being forced to grow up in the 80s and 90s he was always too scared to acknowledge it
Tommy always reminds him that he's the younger twin and it actually drives him crazy
He tries not to wear too much red, so he doesn't look too cheesy, but it's his favorite color dammit, he'll wear it whenever he wants
He knows the things Wanda did with her powers and it actually terrifies him about what he could do with his, even though he ends up having to do some of those things
Sometimes he says things that make Harley joke that it's like he's part robot, he never mentions that he technically is, although he wonders how much that actually transferred to the twins
He actually has no idea why his hair is white, not sure if it's his powers or not, the body just came with them for some reason
He actually told Billy that he was bisexual in the 90s, but Billy was too scared to say anything then, years later when he tells Billy that he uses he/they pronouns, Billy is able to finally tell him how proud of him he is
He remembers how much he got along with Pietro and he wants to find him again, but when he finds he's dead in real life, he's disappointed at the fact that he'll never get to bond with his uncle
He loves the color green and never shys away from wearing it, encouraging Billy to wear red as well
Tommy definitely also has the Wanda mommy issues, but he likes to think that his father was innocent in the whole situation, even if Billy disagrees with him
Having to die and be born again never scared him as much as it scared Billy ( this would make a lot more sense if I actually bothered to write any of this down)
He's never really wanted to be on a team, but he does enjoy being a part of the Young Avengers
He wasn't sure about America at first, but eventually she became the only person he truly trusts and will back her up no matter what
He is actually the first person to call her Miss America, when other people hear it, they assume it's her superhero name
When America calls him Chico, he never admits that he doesn't know what it means, I mean he's Asgardian, he's never heard Spanish before
He still occasionally goes and helps out around the TVA, he likes to talk to Sylvie and Mobius, one time he even goes out to the Multiverse tree and talks to TVA Loki
The first time he meets main universe Thor, he's really sad about what his older brother never got to become, he's even sadder when he learns what happened to Hela
He's obviously super good with knives, like he can do all kinds of flips and throws, he also has a huge collection of them
After a long time of having the same horns, Harley suggests a design he could switch to, Loki pretends like he doesn't care, but he actually does take it into consideration and gets new horns
The team finds it really hard to trust him at first because of the reputation of the universe's Loki, but after seeing him fight for them and how much he supports America, they pretty easily let him into their group
