Only Appearance. Bill Bryon, an average American teenager, is awoken from a sound sleep and given instructions by the voice of a shadow, which directs him to where the bad guys are. Bryon then puts on the Young Avenger's costume and goes out and beats the bad guys. In the story Bryon already has the Young Avenger's costume and powers, and it's implied that the Young Avenger has been directed before by the shadow. No other origin is given for the Young Avenger, however. He has super-strength.

Billy Lackington had a hankering to aid the war effort. Adept with a bow, like his hero of old, the legendary Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest, Billy decides to emulate his hero's deeds and takes his bow and arrows up in the cause of right as Young Robin Hood, fighting injustice with his modern-day Merry Men (Fatso, Squeeky, and Freckles; later Friar Tucker, Shorty, and Little John).
