The story so far:

Hard Drive, the overly dedicated leader of the new super-team called Young Heroes, is a little too zealous about his vision for the future - so much that he is apt to brainwash his friends into seeing things his way. Like when he forced Bonfire into the arms of Thunderhead. Thunderhead, meanwhile, has a huge crush on Bonfire, and loves the fact that she's smarter than he is. Frostbite dosen't care who is smarter, and dosen't know exactly what Hard Drive is up to, but he's so obsessed with the way Bonfire makes him feel that he dosen't even want to talk about it. Off-Ramp is disgusted with Frostbite's attitude, and is starting to fight Hard Drive's conditioning. Junior, the Man of Several Inches, wants desperately to get closer to Zip-Kid, but she's so excited to be on the team she can't even think straight. And besides, she's got a serious boyfriend.
And Monstergirl? Well, Monstergirl's pulling the strings. Just look at the cover! - YHIL Lettercolumn

Plot Summary:

What a swell issue we have this month kids! The gang recovers from the wacky power fluctuations from GENESIS, and settles back into their normal routine. Meanwhile, not far away, the good children of P.S. Seventy-Five are being threatened by a gang of costumed villany calling themselves the RATPACK. It's team on team action in the first ever major multi-page punch up for the Young Heroes! But don't close that cover yet Kids! There's more! After the fight, that's when the action really starts! All leading up to one of the best shocker endings in recent comics! Can the Young Heroes beat the bad guys and save the day? You bet they can!

Unanswered Questions:

• Who are these mysterous villans, these rogues, these Ratpack?
• "But $3000? Why extort $3000?" No one would extort $3000 unless they were just a buncha loosers... oh.
• Why did Monstergirl break it off with Hard Drive so fast?
• Why did she hook back up with him so fast?
• Can we take anything she says at face value anymore?

Did You Notice:

• The shades and a cane during the wedding/dream sequence? Obviously, Bonfire has some kind of deep inner conflict about being pushed towards Thunderhead.
• When Bonfire dreams of Superman, she dreams of Superman Classic, not the "New" Blue Superman.
• The name of the library was the "Putnam" library. I don't get it.

The Creators Speak:

• "Yes. Off-Ramp definitely grabs beer out of the fridge while sitting on the couch. Definitely."

• >>Does he ever use his powers to spy on the local multi-plex to catch the latest releases?
  "Yes, he uses his powers to check out movies, but never multi-plex movies 'cause the screen's usually too small. He likes drive-ins."

• "Trust me, I have every intention of going nuts with the big "reveal" scene. And if you read issues #3 and #4, you know that I don't mind dragging Hard Drive around a bit when he acts up."
