So many of the Teen Titans and Young Justice left out. And let's be honest, Cyclops and Johnny Storm haven't been "teenage superheroes" in most of their most popular incarnations.
Ryan Smith Still think there were others that should be on the list instead of him.. Hell, still wondering how Kitty made it over any of the other teenage X-Men. I would put Rogue higher than her, but it was apparently voted by the fans... sooo, idk.
I guess that WatchMojo knew that most of all the good "teenage superheros" would be at the young folks of DC, so they gave a shit and put another ones.
Actually, Johnny has been a teenager for as much as Spiderman has been depicted as a teenager, so if you're going to bring him up, better bring up Spidey as well.
+Aakash Jagad yeah here are mine 10,Wonder girl YJ 9,raven 8,superboy YJ 7,batgirl YJ 6,miss Martian YJ 5,Robin all of them 4,artemis 3,impulse 2,dick grayson 1,WALLY WEST MY BEA!
Danny Phantom should definitely be on the next list! That show captured the feelings, humor, challenges, and general situations teens find themselves facing. Add witty scriptwriting, unique characters, and original stories, and you get one of the most relatable and unique teen superheroes ever. ;)
Yeah ikr taylor deserves it more then most i mean she did what she thought was right and also was one of the most relatable and realsitic charecters and you can clearly see in the narraration why she deserves it and in the end she got fucked over trying to be a hero she saved everyone but they didnt like how and thats how the world is. More would have died if she didnt have panacea do the thing to her and taylor probably hates herself but she was a true hero. She struggled upnthat food chain and grew so much heck even when she was a quote on quote villain she was heroic fending of manic and inspiring the people in her territory.
@@jhines5713 She's the protagonist of Worm, one of the most famous superhero web serials on the internet. She can control bugs. God help if you piss her off, or not since she killed him.
@@angeldude101 so....someone that basically no one has heard of? Web serials in general aren't popular enough to ever make any top 10 list. It's fine if you think she is cool, but to argue they deserve a spot over plenty of well know people who were left out is ridiculous.
As one group like the power rangers and turtles along with the mental mess that is hitgirl with kickass (just watch kickass2 and the mean girls scene with the vomit thing) but still, spidey is the quintessential kid.
How can people hate on spider-man. He's so relatable and a funny guy with sarcasm. Most heroes tend to be boring as hell. He lost his both parents and then he got his uncle accidentally killed. He lives with his poor aunt and he got both of his girlfriends killed (again accidentally). He risks his life without earning from it which is the reason J.J. Abrams hates him, because he is jealous of him and his golden heart. He is a teenager who look out for his city more than any other heroes I've ever seen and again he's just a teen!
I think part of the reason is that Spider-Man has not yet gotten the full movie treatment that he deserves. Generally, the movies are the most public thing that most people see about a superhero, so if he doesn't look very cool there, many people will think that he's not that interesting. I like Spider-Man. He can be sarcastic when he has the freedom to do so, but also serious when the situation calls for it. He's great. However, not all of the movies have done the best job of showing that, so he's sometimes misperceived. I hope as well as you that the next reboot goes well. With Marvel Studios' guiding hand, I hope that my faith in the character will be restored.
Ik its so sad but she should be #1 as she saved the world granted spoiler Took control of all the superheros and villain capes to defeat scion or is he zion now ehh he changed his name right? But i dont see them winning because theyd be at each others throat then she got 2 bullets to the brain for all her struggle facing the slaughterhouse 9 endbringers protecting her teritory and even becoming part of the wards
Still no Danny Phantom?! Why the so many X-men on this list?! What happened to "1 per franchise"?! Where is Kid Flash, Static Shock, Terry (from Batman Beyond), all of the Teen Titans, and what happened to anime?! Your countdowns are becoming more and more absurd!
These lists are based on votes, the selection for this list is legitimate, and the 1 per franchise rule does not apply to superhero lists mainly due to the fact that many superheroes live in the same shared universe.
yeah, and why did they do the teenage mutant ninja turtles, and there power rangers get put in groups yet everyone else in the list are individual people even though at least two are members of the x-men...
Fun Fact: the word "superhero" is a brand name co-owned by marvel and DC comics so therefore most of these do not count as superheroes Fun fact #2: a teenager is someone aged 13-19
Lord of Salt Are you talking about this "A World Without Superheroes" when DC and Marvel sued an Indie artist? If so they can claim but they don't have any legal claim to that word so it was dismiss Also similar happened to Candy Crash Saga when "Candy" and "Saga" was being used as a trademark by the company. Marvel and DC only sued him because his comic became one of the top in that time which publishers will definitely wants to get some pie.
***** According to Merriam-Webster, the first know use of the word in print of "super-heroes" was used in 1917 in the book "Contact: An airman's outings" by Alan Bott. DC cannot even claim the word "Superman" because that was first used by Friedrich Nietzsche in his 1883 book, “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”.

I haven't watched it yet, but i know Spider-mans number one. Not saying your predictable or anything WatchMojo, But Spidey was literally the first Major Teenage Superhero and that was and to an extent still is a huge part of his character
+MakeItPossible2011 Neither did I, and I knew Batman, Robin, Nightwing, Static Shock, Red Hood, Spiderman, Mirror Master, and those alone are just my favorites. Also, Teen Titans isn't as popular, just because you watched it doesn't mean some other kid did.
+Daniel Hatten Sry. I know this is ridiculously late but Static Shock was the name of the show. Static is the name of the character. Regardless I totally agree he should of been on the list.
I know right?! and it's consistently shown he is a teenager, unlike a lot on their list, which seemed more young adults (18-25), which ok, technically 18 and 19 are teenagers, but "teenager" usually refer to 13-18 the teen years before reaching adulthood
Chicken Fdisoruhg My favorites are Damian Wayne, Jason Todd, Dick Grayson & Tim Drake. In that order. I dont care much for female Robins. I LOVE Stephanie as Spoiler & Batgirl though. Jason Todd and Damian Wayne are tied for my favourite fictional character of all time.
I'm pretty sure Human Torch wasn't a teen There's no way a teenager can be a highly trained piolet without being a genius which we know he isn't. Feel free to correct if I'm wrong but you better have proof.
Well, Robin was able to drive cars, defuse bombs and many other things before he was even considered a teen. So, why does it seem a stretch that a teen can learn be a pilot?
Rouge. Also known as Anna-Marie, adopted daughter of Mystique, (I think that's how you spell it,) is phenomenal, and at least deserved to be an honorable mention. If she really felt like it, she could take over the world, and at least in X-Men Evolution, she really portrays how alot of teens feel; Isolated and alone, with nobody they can relate to.
CleAnn Spaeth yeah like 5 years older She was a kid when he left krypton and Clark was a baby but her pod was mess up and when she went to home Clark was already Superman
Cyclops is far too hated. He's personally one of my favourite superheros. People only seem to hate him because A) They think his power is lame, which it isn't. Summer's family has some of the most powerful x-genes in mutant history. I love his power and design. B) He's a dick, which isn't so much true as he follows a code of morals which has always kept the team alive, whether they like him or not (it's like he's a good leader or something. Go fucking figure!) C) He acts like a bitch whenever Jean dies... said by people who have never lost a family member or a loved one.
I'm surprised Beast Boy and Raven didn't show up even as Honorable Mentions, sure I haven't heard of some of these characters, but c'mon. They're Beast Boy and Raven.
There are two very important teenage superheroes you forgot. Static and Terry McGinnis as Batman. But I definitely agree with #1. Peter Parker as Spider-Man is one of the originator of teenage superheroes. He was the first one not to be a sidekick or working in a group or team, so he had to learn to be a superhero all on his own.
How about Korra, Generator Rex and Blue Beetle? I know Korra isn't exactly a superhero, but still... Also, some of the characters in the list are not teenagers anymore, like Cyclops and Peter Parker (although he can be easily swapped with Miles Morales).
jkubed95 I did not mean they are interchangable, but they are both great characters who are Spider-Man. Johnny Smallman Yeah but he has not been a teenager for a very long time in the comics. I get that they included characters that were introduced as teenagers(Cyclops for example) and superhero roles that are occupied by teenagers(Robins), but I feel like they should have listed heroes that are currentsly in their teens
I like Rex, but in my opinion, he's not good enough to make the list. If you're gonna put one of Man of Action's creations on the list, it would have to be Ben. It's his most successful series. Granted the original series Ben 10 can't be counted for this since the character was 10, but everything he did from Alien Force to Omni-verse would count. As for the characters that are not teenagers anymore, that doesn't matter. As long as a good portion of their notoriety was during their teenage years. Cyclops and Shadow-cat Joined the X-men as teenagers.Their first adventures were as teenagers. Depending on the iteration, Parker got his powers while he was a teenager in high school. He started as Spiderman in high school and continued while he went to college. I could be wrong but I believe Gwen Stacey was his high school girlfriend, and Mary Jane was his College girlfriend. Bucky was a teen in the comics. Do I really need to explain Dick Grayson?
Well Peter grew up after 50 years of comics yeah but he will always be known first and foremost as a teen. He was the only teen superhero when he came out (that wasn't a sidekick).
Here are some other teenage superheroes that deserve to be on this list, Blue Beetle, firestorm, Ben 10, Danny Phantom, Beast Boy, Superboy, Kid Flash and Speedy!
+Jacob Dayley Don't get me wrong, I love Spiderman (I still watch Ultimate Spiderman on Disney XD) but I like Teen Titans more! I grew up watching that show, and to see it cancelled and replaced by the garbage, knockoff, immature show known as Teen Titans Go, breaks my heart.
Raven should be on the list too. In the '03-'06 "Teen Titans" series she completely destroyed the Devil -- a.k.a. Trigon -- and then reversed the apocalypse. Also, in "Justice League vs. Teen Titans" she trapped Trigon in a crystal. Buffy Summers of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" also deserves a spot. She never reversed the apocalypse like Raven did, but she prevented it several times over, and, like Raven, she defeated the Devil, a.k.a. "The First". I'd think that stopping and/or reversing the apocalypse, not to mention defeating the Devil himself, would earn one a spot on any "Top 10 Teenage Superheroes" list!
Kitty Pryde's always been my favorite female comic character. Mutant superpower, computer whiz, ninja abilities, best friend is a dragon, dated Colossus and Star-Lord (and sort of Spider-Man), has a father-figure in Wolverine.
My favorite Teenage Superheroes are Cyclops(X-Men) Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat(X-Men) MMPR The Human Torch(Fantastic Four) Supergirl TMNT Dick Grayson- Robin/ Nightwing Spider-Man
John Seller Your the stupid one, your judging someone for their opinions, I don't like ninja turtles either at all yet at least I have the decency of not judging people who do
They are both old enough to drive. Bucky had his motorcycle, and Human Torch had his red lamb that The Thing ruins in a temper tamtrum when called 'the Thing.' That proves they are adults no matter how super.
My top 10 teen heroes are 1.) Static shock 2.) Beast boy 3.) Kid Flash 4.) Nightcrawler 5.) Danny Phantom 6.) Human Tourch 7.) Iceman 8.) Speedy 9.) Spiderman 10.) Robin
Why not just replace Robin with the Teen Titans. That's like saying the green power ranger is the only one suitable for this list, or that only Donatello is good enough for the list.
Cyborg is a beast. He is the only teen other than supergirl to have been in a main character in an animated series and make the Justice League. Not to mention he was good enough to be along with the big 7

Cyclops, Human Torch, and Bucky Barnes? Do you people know what a teenager is? (Just for the record, I know bucky was a teeneger in the comics but they only used footage from the movie) Also, I LOVE tmnt and mmpr, but it isn't fair at all to compare an entire team to single superheros. There are so many good teenage supes, from teen titans, young justice, young avengers, and other teams but you only went with characters that you could easily find footage of so you wouldn't have to do so much editing with comic panels even going so far as to massively stretch the meaning of the word teenager. I used to love you guys, but you've been way slipping lately. Get your act together.
Then I was younger I love comics every day we still love superheroes one of those favorites then I was 19 years old superheroes are born be brave and be amazing
why am I not surprised Marvel again?? Anyway, its Robin for me. Although I really like Spidy Robin is the iconic one and only best teem super hero for me. seriously, the dude is iconic.
Except he is. His popularity rivals Batman and Superman while even nightwing is more 2nd tier. Spidey has gotten several adaptations over the years. Movies,cartoons and video games. How many adaptations has dick had by himself? None. Not a single movie,cartoon or videogame where he is by himself and held his ground. Yea he had his own comics but even krypto the super dog had his own run. Spidey is even on Marvel's business card. You don't see DC handing out Robin themed business cards.
People keep saying that the Teen Titans, Young Justice, Wally West, Static and others should be in here but for me, SPIDER-MAN IS THE BEST! And besides any other character that isn't Spidey is a rip off!
Bucky wasn't actually a soldier, he was adopted by a military camp his parents died. While he was there, he took to wearing a military uniform and became experienced with military life. After joining Captain America in his adventures, the military justified putting a 15 year old in harm's way by using him as a symbol to rally America's youth. This only applies to the comics of course. In the movies, Bucky is around the same age as Cap.
He was fifteen when he discovered Captain America's identity and the army allowed him to take part in the war to rally the youth. It's an interesting concept. Additionally you should not necessarily take our real life laws as granted in comic worlds. EDIT: SuperExtremeForce already answered the question. Thus you are free to disregard this comment.
@@amitavrashmi17 Yeah it's kinda true but give the others chance too like Raven she is very powerful, has a dad who is satan and she is hella THICCC! just kidding but I think you understand me maybe?
Because robin is popular individual and he introduced as individual character while both ppower rangers and tmnt introduced as a whole group character. You can't randomly make a movie or comic about just red ranger or just leonardo but you can definitely make it for just robin
chris maroney That person was telling everyone that they are that person's hero, and that they should check out their channel. They deleted their comment/it got removed.
Jason Dittmann Sorry but Korra was 17 years old in season 1 if that is not a teenager what is? Aang was the only one of the Avatars that wasn't a teenager and that was because of the increased conflict of Fire Nation.
Rachel Vipperman When I think of the word, SUPERHEROS, or just, TEEN SUPERHEROS. I don't think of "Korra" or whatever her name is. I think Spider-Man and Robin... xD
Fuck..... I searched Worm and found this top 10, I was amazed that characters from Worm had made it onto here before watching the video and seeing there where none. RIP ME
So many of the Teen Titans and Young Justice left out. And let's be honest, Cyclops and Johnny Storm haven't been "teenage superheroes" in most of their most popular incarnations.
Same with Bucky.. This list is just wrong...
I'll give Bucky a pass though because his original incarnation and every incarnation besides the MCU and as the Winter Soldier has him as a teenager
Ryan Smith Still think there were others that should be on the list instead of him..
Hell, still wondering how Kitty made it over any of the other teenage X-Men. I would put Rogue higher than her, but it was apparently voted by the fans... sooo, idk.
I guess that WatchMojo knew that most of all the good "teenage superheros" would be at the young folks of DC, so they gave a shit and put another ones.
Actually, Johnny has been a teenager for as much as Spiderman has been depicted as a teenager, so if you're going to bring him up, better bring up Spidey as well.
I like how the TMNT wear masks like "oh that's good, I doubt anyone will notice we're GIANT F*CKING TURTLES"
Roman Miller i believe its more meant to tell them apart then hide there face
I would think the weapons and voices might do it but I see your point iguess
Roman Miller that actually is the reason they wear masks, is to tell them apart.
Roman Miller 50th like
It also helps with the whole ninja theme
Spidey is my all time favourite hero, period! He is not only kick ass but he knows how to keep it light and fun! My two must haves in any hero

No joke, reading and looking up to Spider-Man gave me the courage to talk to my girlfriend. Just because of that he will always be my number 1! lol
Spiderman is the best superhero ever hands down. :)

laz kar Yeah I mean Spidey has a little bit of strength.
laz kar Yeah you got a point it's like you can relate to Spidey's life I mean being a nerd in high school that's something anyone can be.

Well, Robin was able to drive cars, defuse bombs and many other things before he was even considered a teen. So, why does it seem a stretch that a teen can learn be a pilot?
Danny Fenton Except the Batman series has a history of ass-pulls.
True
***** Yeah, he should have been replaced with Starfire...
Rouge. Also known as Anna-Marie, adopted daughter of Mystique, (I think that's how you spell it,) is phenomenal, and at least deserved to be an honorable mention. If she really felt like it, she could take over the world, and at least in X-Men Evolution, she really portrays how alot of teens feel; Isolated and alone, with nobody they can relate to.
tecnicly super girl is older than super man
CleAnn Spaeth yeah like 5 years older
She was a kid when he left krypton and Clark was a baby but her pod was mess up and when she went to home Clark was already Superman
She and her pod were stuck in the phantom zone which caused her to not physically age. Technically she is older but physically and psychologically not
Not technically it is definetely
Nooo
CleAnn Spaeth gt
DANNY PHANTOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no
+Allie Dragon YES!!!!
+Allie Dragon OMG yes! also robin (dick grayson) should have been number1
Spider-Man #1 Dick Grayson #2 and throw some good X-Men l, Young Avengers and Teen Titans in there. Then the list will be perfection.
Yup
Happy to see Cyclops get some love... He's only been kicking the shit out of the enemies of the X Men since 63.
Cyclops is far too hated. He's personally one of my favourite superheros. People only seem to hate him because
A) They think his power is lame, which it isn't. Summer's family has some of the most powerful x-genes in mutant history. I love his power and design.
B) He's a dick, which isn't so much true as he follows a code of morals which has always kept the team alive, whether they like him or not (it's like he's a good leader or something. Go fucking figure!)
C) He acts like a bitch whenever Jean dies... said by people who have never lost a family member or a loved one.
I wish that they included more modern or contemporary, non DC, Marvel, Image characters, like Danny Phantom, Randy Cunningham, or Generator Rex.
His name is actually Rex salazar
I know.
No.
Alterego912 I know. I was hoping Danny Phantom was among this list too.
Alterego912 Randy cunningham? Screw that.
Robin was #1 for me.
He was a good strategist, he was an incredible athlete, and he can hack!(YJ)
+Abby Bellandi hahahahhhaha
Depends on which robin?
+Kc Jones obviously it's dicky boy but static shock is my #1
XxCrystal RedxX let me tell you why. Spider-Man is way more popular than Robin. Not just kids but teens and adults. Want me to keep on going?
OMG SAME!!!! XD
Dick Grayson is my favorite, The best robin!
+Logan Gissing I started to like him now more than dick....I know he is just 10 years old but he is a freaking BAD ASS
Same!!!
Yes, no Damian Wayne ,or Tim, or others
I always thought Tim was a better robin, but dick was a better character
Well Jason Todd Is Amazing Too And Dick Grayson Is Better Than Jason Todd
I'm surprised Beast Boy and Raven didn't show up even as Honorable Mentions, sure I haven't heard of some of these characters, but c'mon. They're Beast Boy and Raven.
Lol same.
+SnuggleTron-Snuggler of the Universe Yeah, I'm not too sure about Beastboy, he is PRETTY stupid...
James Howlett How does that make him a bad character? This list isn't about strongest.
+SnuggleTron-Snuggler of the Universe It's not that. The thing is Beastboy is just too... stupid. he acts like a child 85% of the time
I found the original teen titans a great team. an acrobatist, space warrior, machine man, animal transforming, Dark magic demon, a very good team
No Raven? or Static shock? 3/10
Also no Batman Beyond.
Chill
Also No Superboy? And No Kid Flash Or Impulse
+mikhael hall but they had Jubilee?
RAVEN!!!
Kid flash freakin died to save the ENTIRE world
Morgan Wilmes That’s only on the young justice cartoon...
HE IS ALIVE
I'm sorry I'm still in denial
I know quite a few that did even one thats hated for it
Dick Grayson aka robin aka boy wonder aka nightwing
phil dominguez Yoshi you shoulda been on the list, ur my hero, itd be an honor if you checked out mah channel :]
aka Batman
kogiama how did i forget
Don't worry fellow mate,I'm only here to assist you
Aka.teen titan leader aka. Batmans sidekick aka.batmans student aka.humanbeing
There are two very important teenage superheroes you forgot. Static and Terry McGinnis as Batman. But I definitely agree with #1. Peter Parker as Spider-Man is one of the originator of teenage superheroes. He was the first one not to be a sidekick or working in a group or team, so he had to learn to be a superhero all on his own.
How about Korra, Generator Rex and Blue Beetle? I know Korra isn't exactly a superhero, but still... Also, some of the characters in the list are not teenagers anymore, like Cyclops and Peter Parker (although he can be easily swapped with Miles Morales).
.... Peter Parker and Miles Morales are extremely not interchangeable.
Peter is roughly 19 in some of the TV shows, so, he is a teenager.
jkubed95 I did not mean they are interchangable, but they are both great characters who are Spider-Man.
Johnny Smallman Yeah but he has not been a teenager for a very long time in the comics. I get that they included characters that were introduced as teenagers(Cyclops for example) and superhero roles that are occupied by teenagers(Robins), but I feel like they should have listed heroes that are currentsly in their teens
I like Rex, but in my opinion, he's not good enough to make the list. If you're gonna put one of Man of Action's creations on the list, it would have to be Ben. It's his most successful series. Granted the original series Ben 10 can't be counted for this since the character was 10, but everything he did from Alien Force to Omni-verse would count.
As for the characters that are not teenagers anymore, that doesn't matter. As long as a good portion of their notoriety was during their teenage years.
Cyclops and Shadow-cat Joined the X-men as teenagers.Their first adventures were as teenagers.
Depending on the iteration, Parker got his powers while he was a teenager in high school. He started as Spiderman in high school and continued while he went to college. I could be wrong but I believe Gwen Stacey was his high school girlfriend, and Mary Jane was his College girlfriend.
Bucky was a teen in the comics.
Do I really need to explain Dick Grayson?
Well Peter grew up after 50 years of comics yeah but he will always be known first and foremost as a teen. He was the only teen superhero when he came out (that wasn't a sidekick).
Here are some other teenage superheroes that deserve to be on this list, Blue Beetle, firestorm, Ben 10, Danny Phantom, Beast Boy, Superboy, Kid Flash and Speedy!
Young Justice definitely needs to be on there. At least Aqua Lad who went under cover for months and infiltrated the Light and the Reach.
The entirety of Teen Titans should be #1 on this list!
yes
Young Justice*
+Yana Universe And Young Justice.
Spiderman deserved it!
+Jacob Dayley Don't get me wrong, I love Spiderman (I still watch Ultimate Spiderman on Disney XD) but I like Teen Titans more! I grew up watching that show, and to see it cancelled and replaced by the garbage, knockoff, immature show known as Teen Titans Go, breaks my heart.
No Danny Phantom?
yea
thought the same
with static shock.
+MrHurdleking24 fr where's Danny 😑
yeah, I like that guy
Damn your profile and comment work so well together
Raven should be on the list too. In the '03-'06 "Teen Titans" series she completely destroyed the Devil -- a.k.a. Trigon -- and then reversed the apocalypse. Also, in "Justice League vs. Teen Titans" she trapped Trigon in a crystal.
Buffy Summers of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" also deserves a spot. She never reversed the apocalypse like Raven did, but she prevented it several times over, and, like Raven, she defeated the Devil, a.k.a. "The First".
I'd think that stopping and/or reversing the apocalypse, not to mention defeating the Devil himself, would earn one a spot on any "Top 10 Teenage Superheroes" list!
What about Danny Phantom
Naomi Maria Danny Phanton OR Kim Possible. Wait...is KP a superhero? She did "save the world?" LOL
She did
***** Superman is also weak to magic so most casters (if they get the first shot) could take Supes apart.
fighterofflames The entire list were comic book heroes. When most people think of 'super heroes' comic books are the first to come to mind.
Drew Molina mighty morphin power rangers is not a comic
Where the hell is Danny Phantom?!
He totaly deserves 2nd place.
No.
I agree on that
NO WAY, a cartoon character is higher than robin and spiderman. are you an idiot?
1. spiderman
2. dick grayson robin
3. raven
4. danny phantom
Nah, he deserves 1st.
@@t-dawg5265 Danny Phantom is 14, he doesn't account as teenager
Cyclops;
Nobody's favorite X-man
He's mine
+suzane peepoc no.1 fave
Probably my 3rd fav X-Man behind Nightcrawler and Wolverine
Kitty Pryde's always been my favorite female comic character. Mutant superpower, computer whiz, ninja abilities, best friend is a dragon, dated Colossus and Star-Lord (and sort of Spider-Man), has a father-figure in Wolverine.
Wolverine was pretty much a father figure for every young X-Men lol. Who was still in love with Jean Grey even after she died.
Bucky is a teenager?
+Cat Man I see.... I thought he was the same age as the Cap
+Cat Man nope dc copied Bucky too for robin but who cares when we have winter solider
+Jo-Smooth He started out as one. But some stuff he went through as Winter Soldier made them the same age.
+Razorc Skelly I thought Bucky and Steve were the same age and were childhood friends. was that only the McU?
+Jo-Smooth yes.
Don't know if mentioned before...Sailor Moon/Senshi/Scouts.

Cyborg( Teen Titans)
where is ben 10 he is now a teenager and which hero has a alien watch which can turn him into monsters
Sorry m8, for an hero to make his way into this list, he must be at least Decent
Mŕ Perfect he is having a reboot
and it's terrible. ben 10 ultimate forever.
Ben 10 was 10 in the first seris.
Sorry m8, but Ben 10 doesn't have any chance to be in,even, a top 20 best teenage super heroes
I haven't watched this yet but obviously robin is on this
Teen Gohan
no
Caleb Jakeman Shepherd yep
+Tony Bravo "SUPERheroes"not Saiyan
Jack Young, III I'm pretty sure a super saiyan Teen Gohan is super and a hero....
Just......no.......You're not wrong but still.
My Top 3:

2: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
1: Peter Parker(SpiderMan)
Knew num1 was going to be Spidey. Was I right?
Yep I am!
same
It could've been Ben 10 because of alien X
Me too but O wanted it to be DEADPOOL he is half superhero
DEAD POOL dead pool is not a young hero
Hoang Tran do you honestly think Ben10 is up to the level of Spider-Man
Ive never liked ninja turtles, not even as a kid.
Me either
Colin Sharp so you liked it?
Why?Not getting mad at your opinion just want to know why
WHY? YOUR OPINION IS STUPID AND I AM FURIOUS!!!
John Seller
Your the stupid one, your judging someone for their opinions, I don't like ninja turtles either at all yet at least I have the decency of not judging people who do
why is some of this list groups like power rangers and ninja turtles while others are singled out even though they still have their own teems too?
Because the power rangers and turtles always work as a team while the others have solo series and adventures.
Because the other teams have adults
Kevin Chan but the teen titans have no adults and to be honest I find the whole team to be much more interesting than robin alone
Vergessen Kp but Robin isn't only defined by the Titans, he's also Batman's Robin and also Nightwing.
ShadowMage223 is robin still a teen when he becomes nightwing? i could have swore half of this list was in their 20s
They are both old enough to drive. Bucky had his motorcycle, and Human Torch had his red lamb that The Thing ruins in a temper tamtrum when called 'the Thing.' That proves they are adults no matter how super.
Who ever didn't expect Spiderman to be #1 should get a slap over the head.
NO KID FLASH?!
OMFG I LOVE YOU, SOMEONE GETS IT !
jordan fabulous He deserves number 1 and he isnt even on the list!
+DeathPrestige I know its ridiculous
My top 10 teen heroes are
1.) Static shock
2.) Beast boy
3.) Kid Flash
4.) Nightcrawler
5.) Danny Phantom
6.) Human Tourch
7.) Iceman
8.) Speedy
9.) Spiderman
10.) Robin
Thank god Spider-Man is #1 he was the most relatable superhero of all time
Dick Grayson a.k.a. Robin a.k.a. Night Wing a.k.a. Batman
a.k.a The Spy Grayson
Aka Charlie the unicorn
+maxsteelflex Aka Joel Schumacher
+maxsteelflex a.k.a chick magnet
+Gwenevie Bayaua AKA Arnold Schwartzaneggar
Why is Danny Phantom not on this list?
Oh, yeah. I guess I would've liked to see him mentioned, at least.
Not a, "superhero". When people hear, super hero, most of them think, bat-man, iron-man, spider-man, hulk, super-man. Not Danny Phantom...
***** Danny Phantom is more superhero-like than Power Rangers and TMNT
JustDenzell I agree. I don't think of PR and TMNT as SUPER heros.
Because who is he....thats why. These list are made by adults not teenagers lol
Why not just replace Robin with the Teen Titans. That's like saying the green power ranger is the only one suitable for this list, or that only Donatello is good enough for the list.
EXACTLY
Jesus, Beast Boy for example has a backstory that's so much more interesting than Robins.. And the thumbnail was so missleading as well.
Cyborg is a beast. He is the only teen other than supergirl to have been in a main character in an animated series and make the Justice League. Not to mention he was good enough to be along with the big 7
Jaime Reyes aka Blue Beetle!!!
Rip Yellow Ranger,aka Kimberly :(
Trini was the Yellow Ranger that died.
Yeah wrong one you meant RIP Yellow Ranger aka Trini. Kimberly was the Pink Ranger

Can you do a top10 dinosaur vidéogames, please?
Cyclops, Human Torch, and Bucky Barnes? Do you people know what a teenager is? (Just for the record, I know bucky was a teeneger in the comics but they only used footage from the movie) Also, I LOVE tmnt and mmpr, but it isn't fair at all to compare an entire team to single superheros. There are so many good teenage supes, from teen titans, young justice, young avengers, and other teams but you only went with characters that you could easily find footage of so you wouldn't have to do so much editing with comic panels even going so far as to massively stretch the meaning of the word teenager. I used to love you guys, but you've been way slipping lately. Get your act together.
Not even an honorable mention of static? I am disappointed
IRON FIST :DDDDD!!!
How about Blue Beetle?
anyone thought there was gonna be a random flash as Kara ripped apart that white top just before we saw her outfit
Where's kid flash
Seriously, not even an honorable mention for Danny Phantom?
u forgot Raven and Beastboy
and Damyine Wayne the son of Batman
I don't think that Trigon is 30-50, so in demon years, ravens still an infant ;P
true that!
They both suck.
Then I was younger I love comics every day we still love superheroes one of those favorites then I was 19 years old superheroes are born be brave and be amazing
why am I not surprised Marvel again?? Anyway, its Robin for me. Although I really like Spidy Robin is the iconic one and only best teem super hero for me. seriously, the dude is iconic.
+Ptolemy16 Spiderman is far more iconic than Robin
+Red Sky LMAO if u say so.
Except he is. His popularity rivals Batman and Superman while even nightwing is more 2nd tier. Spidey has gotten several adaptations over the years. Movies,cartoons and video games. How many adaptations has dick had by himself? None. Not a single movie,cartoon or videogame where he is by himself and held his ground. Yea he had his own comics but even krypto the super dog had his own run. Spidey is even on Marvel's business card. You don't see DC handing out Robin themed business cards.
Considering Spider man is Marvel's #1 superhero, and Robin is 2nd tier on a good day, Spidey is miles more iconic than robin.
Robin is the one who first introduced a teenage super hero. Robin first appeared in 1940 while the first spiderman comic did not come out till 1962.
People keep saying that the Teen Titans, Young Justice, Wally West, Static and others should be in here but for me, SPIDER-MAN IS THE BEST! And besides any other character that isn't Spidey is a rip off!
Bruh🙄😐

But I think Spiderman's cool too. He really had a hard time being a teenager & a superhero.
Isn’t impossible for Bucky to be a teenager because you have to be 18 to join the army and when you turn 18 your are legally and adult?
henry Strong When you turn 18 you can be tried as an adult and can face the same penalties as adults in the eyes of the law you are an adult.
Bucky wasn't actually a soldier, he was adopted by a military camp his parents died. While he was there, he took to wearing a military uniform and became experienced with military life. After joining Captain America in his adventures, the military justified putting a 15 year old in harm's way by using him as a symbol to rally America's youth.
This only applies to the comics of course. In the movies, Bucky is around the same age as Cap.
***** ooo ok thanks for explaining.
He was fifteen when he discovered Captain America's identity and the army allowed him to take part in the war to rally the youth. It's an interesting concept. Additionally you should not necessarily take our real life laws as granted in comic worlds.
EDIT: SuperExtremeForce already answered the question. Thus you are free to disregard this comment.
When Bucky Barnes was I the army the policies were a lot less strict back tuen
Was anyone surprised that Spider-Man was #1?
two bloody right I was, he is 28?! by that logic I'm a fucking foetus!
GrnArrow7 well he gained his power wile attending school so
I was expecting Nightwing
I thought it would be Robin... silly me,I thought Spidey was 20-something...
No
Chuck Norris should definitely be on the video. He is not a teenager but most of his team is.
Cyborg, beast boy, Raven, and starfire deserve to be on this list
He put the whole Power Rangers as a team and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a team so why not the Teen Titans? Why did you put Robin alone?!😂
Cause robin is way more awsome and he is the leader
@@amitavrashmi17 Everyone is awesome in his on way!😃
@@redist-f4t I didn't the that the others is not awsome I just said that robin is more awsome
@@amitavrashmi17 Yeah it's kinda true but give the others chance too like Raven she is very powerful, has a dad who is satan and she is hella THICCC! just kidding but I think you understand me maybe?
Because robin is popular individual and he introduced as individual character while both ppower rangers and tmnt introduced as a whole group character. You can't randomly make a movie or comic about just red ranger or just leonardo but you can definitely make it for just robin
in my honest opinion i think spiderman should be second and robin should be first.
chris maroney I think you should be first, ur mah hero man. itd be an honor if you checked out mah channel :]
Dat FuzzyFeelin thank you, you just got a sub!

What about the entire Teen Titans and the Young Justice teams?
+sarah g yeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
about the tmnt, ooze? never heard of it, it is mutagen
and why not Ben 10 or Avatar Korra (if you can count them)
the reason ben10 isn't on there becuase when he got his powers he wasn't a teenager yet
and Korra was a child aswell
Jason Dittmann Sorry but Korra was 17 years old in season 1 if that is not a teenager what is? Aang was the only one of the Avatars that wasn't a teenager and that was because of the increased conflict of Fire Nation.
Rachel Vipperman When I think of the word, SUPERHEROS, or just, TEEN SUPERHEROS. I don't think of "Korra" or whatever her name is. I think Spider-Man and Robin... xD
I meant that she was the avatar since birth so she was a hero when she was considered a hero when they found out she was the avatar
Wally west is not the first flash Barry Allen is
actually, the first flash was Jay Garrick, but Barry Allen is simply the most popular
actually Jay Garrett is from an alternate earth
Fuck..... I searched Worm and found this top 10, I was amazed that characters from Worm had made it onto here before watching the video and seeing there where none. RIP ME
No Skitter or any of the Undersiders?
No Static Shock? Come on!
