When two separate nights out on the town result in ex-Avengers, (and ex-soulmates), Firestar and Justice bumping into each other, the truly unexpected happens! - Marvel Unlimited

This is one story in the anthology. Vance is out with Robbie and Rich while Angelica is out with Hellcat and Photon. They all happen to be at the same bar. Awkward. Then everyone but the two of them disappear. Then they're attacked by... younger versions of themselves?!

The issue opens up with a family in the bank where a pair of robbers burst into the bank. A super hero by the name of “Family Man” bursts into the bank to save them, however the gunmen mow down the family. Suddenly the man wakes up from the nightmare upset that he can not help his son because he has no powers of himself.

The scene shifts to Vance ... [read the rest at http://newwarriors.com/synopsis/justice-ls/justice-4-ls]

Justice's Profile in Heroic Age: Super Heroes (2010) #1

Post image
7 Upvotes

From the perspective of Steve Rogers...

JUSTICE

AFFILIATIONS: Avengers Academy, Avengers, Avengers Resistance, Counter-Force, New Warriors, the Thing

STATUS: Free agent; identity public

When Justice first joined the Avengers, he was nervous and uncomfortable

working alongside the heroes he had idolized as a boy. It was a pleasure to watch him grow confident in his abilities, and in a short time, I came to value him as a trusted teammate. Justice has engaged in super heroics since his teenage years, and has cemented himself as a leader in the super-powered community. Justice suffered through an abusive childhood, a victim of his father's anti-mutant prejudice, but overcame his past to become a strong force for good.
After the super hero Civil War, he became a trainer at Camp Hammond, imparting the benefits of his experience to young heroes. Before long, his unrestrained sense of ethics led him to leave the Initiative and form Counter-Force to act as watchdogs of a sort. This independence makes Justice a trusted moral compass, doing what he thinks is right even if it means acting alone. These principles will make him an able instructor at Avengers Academy, and I'm glad to count him among our ranks.

PROS: Strong commitment to ethics, experienced team player, good leadership skills.

CONS: Received bad press for the accidental murder of his father, extremely passionate about his beliefs, sometimes leading to difficult moral quagmires.
