[6] Due to the vagaries of time travel in the Marvel Universe, this did not create a paradox but instead made the future world of the Guardians into a parallel timeline, to which they later returned.

Running away from home, Vance wound up supporting himself as a professional wrestler in the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation, a circuit for superhuman competitors.

[8] When Marvel Boy was rejected for membership in the Avengers by Captain America, he helped found a team of teenage superheroes, the New Warriors, led by the new hero Night Thrasher.

[11] At the same time, Vance developed friendships with the other Warriors and a romantic relationship with teammate Firestar,[12] and his powers increased both in strength and skill.

However, the prosecuting attorney pursued the latter angle, using testimony from Firestar and cross-examination of Norma Astrovik to establish that Vance could have used his powers to stop his father without lethal force.

Instinctively, Vance not only disarmed her but reacted so precisely that he contained the actual smoke from the gun, driving home the prosecution's case.

He was shown enjoying the occasional free walkabout on the long road trip to the Vault, joking and playing around with the officers.

[14] During his stay in the Vault, he was granted "training periods" with the Guardsmen on duty, determined to hone his abilities to prevent another incident like his father's death.

When the Sphinx, a previous Warriors foe, dispersed members of the team throughout history, Vance encountered his father as an adolescent.

Vance and Angelica were caught up in the literal mystical maelstrom and were turned into super-powered enforcers under the command of le Fay.

[19] Although he was thrilled to be living his lifelong dream of being an Avenger, Vance made some small rookie mistakes at first, stemming from a case of hero-worship.

[20] Vance and Angelica then spent some time undercover investigating the Triune Understanding, a cult-like movement with seemingly good intentions but villainous leadership.

[25] Justice and former teammate Rage learned that people were hunting down former New Warriors members because of perceived blame for the deaths caused by Nitro in Stamford, Connecticut, while fighting an incarnation of the team.

[26] They both sought out the legal services of Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk) in protecting the allies of the New Warriors, as their identities were already publicly exposed.

This is further evidenced when they join Captain America's Secret Avengers during the Civil War as a result of the death of Bill Foster.

[27] After the Civil War, Justice was recruited by Iron Man to head the youth outreach arm of The Initiative superhero training program based at Camp Hammond.

He is clearly unaware of some of the shadier aspects of the program, and is growing increasingly irritated by the Initiative "Drill Sergeant" Gauntlet's constant demeaning and disparaging remarks about the deceased New Warriors.

As a result, Justice apparently deserted from the Initiative to continue his investigation and recruited Ultra Girl, Rage, and other former New Warriors Debrii and Slapstick to his cause.

[33] When Ragnarok, a deranged clone of Thor, attacks Camp Hammond, Counter Force (Now calling themselves "The New Warriors" and boasting Night Thrasher as a member) arrives to help.

[36] Things hit the tipping point for the Resistance when Osborn orchestrates a siege on Asgard by creating an incident similar to Stamford.
