In the Golden Age, children were relegated to sidekick duty, usually using their real name, ala Dusty, Rusty, Tim and Bucky. Thanks mostly to Spider-Man, the idea that a teenage hero could be more than a quippy junior partner became more acceptable, to the point where it’s now a superhero trope on its own. With all the Teen Titans, Legionnaires and various high school heroes, there are a lot of choices for number one, leading to today’s adolescent query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) thinks that Spider-Man has to be right up there, but that Starfire is also a solid pick, asking: Which teenage hero is the best hormone-ridden adolescent super of them all?

Kitty Pryde. Honey Badger would be there, but she’s a bit too young to really count.
