Having a 9 year running campaign, a Ravenswood Academy type school is fun and a near necessity at times. It was a foundation of our campaign to help young meta-humans. From the batch was:
Torment (Mind Games)
Chime (Kingdom of Champions)
Force (Mind Games)
Impact a.k.a. Nitro a.k.a. Atomic Kid (Allies)
Flower (Villany Unbound)
Stalwart (VIPER)
and Zephyr (European Enemies after I fixed the math )
Yet part of the fun is watching these characters, even though outside of your core group, grow and develop. Champions has almost been a comic book universe with self-participation. Torment just woke from a coma, Chime was killed in the Hzeel/Tharlok invasion that destroyed Detroit, Force and Zephyr married and moved to her home dimension, Flower and Impact married and Impact joined the Champions and Stalwart helped found an "Outsider" type team that one of our PCs founded.
I can't recommend using Howard/Hal Brody enough as a character and a plot hook. Other kids that are usable from other suppliments:
Blackout (Mind Games)
Displacer (Mind Games)
Hy-Tek (Next 8 from New Champions: Alliances)
Sticker
Trance
Thrasher
Brother X
Magus
Iceflame
Avatar
Kawaii (Villany Unbound)
Megeara (Enemies: Assemble, the most underrated suppliment ever)
Phobia (San Angelo: City of Heroes)
Hummingbird as well. And converting Fuzion doesn't give one the nosebleeds that converting other systems does.
