THE SCHOOL1

Two Years Ago:  SHIELD and the UN publicly release a joint report on the effects of a good education on the adolescent superhuman.  The conclusion were a stamp of legitimacy to what practically everyone suspected; a well-educated teen super was less dangerous and more productive citizen then a less-educated one.

Even so-called 'villain' groups realized that an educated pawn was more useful than a gifted thug (that is, as long as they are not too precocious and self-aware).  These outlaw groups began to make plans of their own.

One Year Ago:  An Open Campus Day is held in a SHIELD base in New York City.  This is for the first students of the first new schools to find each other.

Today:  To the general public, the TEAM NAME2 is a group of young superheroes in training.  They keep a low profile and only present during dire emergencies (it is amazing how often dire emergencies happen in the teen superhero genre ;-) ).   Only the TEAM NAME and the hero's individual code name have been released to the press along with a statement that the young heroes are allowed to live as normal and private a life as possible when they are not 'in uniform'.

Currently, the TEAM is considered to be SHIELD deputies, with SHIELD citizenship and limited diplomatic immunity while on missions.  In return, the TEAM is not allowed to intercede in purely political actions between or within nations regarding national authorities.  The TEAM seems to have access to and equipment of the Avengers, Fantastic Four, SHIELD and the X-Men among several other super-powered organizations.  This is despite seeming a unique organization in their own right.

The TEAM has one known public base, the Excelsior base in New York City.  In this place, the students openly study in costume and code name.  The Excelsior base seems too small to support its sheer number of members.  TEAM members have been known to be almost instantly on Excelsior ground and then later across the planet and vice versa with no perceivable means of travel.  This is a mystery to the world media and conspiracy theorists.  No real answer to this puzzle has been agreed upon by the world at large.
