Here's a question: Why did the writers of the Outlawed event include the whole sponsorship clause? Basically all of Marvel's teen heroes are second wave legacy heroes on good terms with their inspiration, so securing nominal sponsorship and then proceeding with business as usual should take like, two days and the filing of some paperwork. It's got the Civil War problem of applying common sense to a fundamentally nonsensical setting, but even moreso.

I dunno, I get that there's a level of buy-in involved, but this whole event just seems to sag under the weight of the Marvel Universe.

Yeah, Peter and Tony would sponsor Miles and Riri in a heartbeat. Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel have had their differences but I think this is one of those rare occasions where Carol does the right thing and helps Kamala. Heroes would probably be lining up to sponsor Power Pack (except for maybe Jack).

The Runaways wouldn't care. Adult heroes suck anyway.

I assume the sponsorship thing is mosly there so Frank and Val get to continue their normal lives.

I mean, does the sponsorship even need to be a one adult per teen thing? I could see a few heroes being willing to sponsor whole teams. Or heck, Tony could just take on all of them across the board, start up the Iron Man School for Exceptional Teens and laugh at the X-Men when they get pissed at him for stealing their schtick. Hey, given how long he's dealt with headquartering the Avengers he'd probably be better at keeping the school in one piece and all the kids alive than Xavier ever was.

I mean Strange did just start a wizard school. Maybe he saw this coming.
