Formation
With the worldwide explosion of emerging superhumans caused by the Omega Awakening, and fearing the indoctrination and manipulation of young heroes like that attempted by Masquerade, Nails wishes to create a youth group of superhumans so they can learn what it means to be a hero, as well as how to fully harness their powers. He approaches Flashpoint, who initially refuses, unwilling to thrust more young heroes into life-threatening situations like the ones that have affected his psyche. As such, Nails appoints Justice Boy as its leader. However, it is revealed that Justice Boy is a member of a secret cult of superhumans who believe that the Awakening has created impurities among their kind that must be thinned out. To this end, he abducts the members of the team and plans to ritually execute them. However, Dreamweaver, who had previously met and befriended Flashpoint during the Hero Career Fair, is able to reach out to him for help via astral projection. Flashpoint is able to save them, and is surprised by their optimism despite the ordeal they just faced. Touched, he decides to take up Nails' offer and becomes the team's new leader. The origin story is told in the "Outcasts & Adolescents" arc of Youngbloods.

Wildfire's Arrival & Flashpoint's Departure
After the death of Nails and the disbanding of Team Iron & Nails, Wildfire joins the Youngbloods, generating a lot of conflict with his brother, Flashpoint, as they, despite their close relationship and mutual respect, have opposing natures and ideals, but share a fierce stubbornness. This conflict leads Flashpoint to disregard Wildfire's advice during their battle with ___, a costly move that ends in the near death and severe crippling of Dreamweaver. Torn up by guilt over his mistake and the realization that Wildfire is a more capable leader than he, he announces his resignation, and passes the command over to his brother. Hatchet, Flashpoint's lover, also leaves the team, along with Dreamweaver, who is unable to fight due to his injuries, and ___. They are replaced by three new heroes. This new roster is known as the "Wildfire Team", with the previous being the "Flashpoint Team".
