8
9	The series follows Makoto, Adi, and Chloé, three superpowered teenagers who have been raised by ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} to believe that they are being trained to become superheroes and that the Avengers are villains. The three have been genetically modified by HYDRA, resulting in each gaining unique superhuman abilities.
10
11	However, the trio eventually come to realize HYDRA's intentions and decide to flee. During their escape attempt, they encounter the Avengers and help them stop HYDRA's plans. Realizing the kids have potential, the Avengers agree to take them in and train them to become superheroes, dubbing them the "Future Avengers".
12
13	The series is a kind of SpiritualSuccessor to ''Anime/MarvelDiskWarsTheAvengers'', though the two anime are otherwise unrelated. The series began airing on the Japanese satellite channel [=DLife=] on July 2017 and ran for 26 episodes. A second season aired in 2018.

17	----
18
19	!! ''Marvel Future Avengers'' provides examples of the following tropes:
20
21	* TenMinuteRetirement: The Hulk pulls one when the Green Goblin makes him go berserk. Makoto follows suit with Wasp watching over both of them in a strange game of chicken to force the Hulk out of it.
22	* ActionGirl: Wasp, Chloé, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, and Ms. Marvel.
23	* AdaptationalHeroism: Unlike the last [[Anime/MarvelDiskWarsTheAvengers adaptation]], this version of Loki is much more civil. Possibly having something to do with [[MoralityPet Makoto]].
24	* AdaptationalWimp: The Mad Inventor was a serious threat in Ms. Marvel's comic [[spoiler:as he convinced teenagers their lives were worthless to serve as living batteries]]. Here, he's a villain who is not very good at being a MadScientist or a criminal mastermind.
25	* AndTheAdventureContinues:
26	** After the crisis with [[spoiler: Kang]] is dealt with. Makoto, Chloé, Adi [[spoiler: and Bruno]] prepare to continue their training as Future Avengers.
27	** After Maximus is defeated, the Avengers and Future Avengers receive word that a prison break has occurred in the Raft, and they head off on their mission.
28	* AscendedFanboy: Makoto has always wanted to be a superhero. Of course, he ends up joining the Avengers shortly after meeting them.
29	* AwfulTruth: In the first episode Makoto learns that Hydra has been EvilAllAlong, conning him and his friends their whole lives.
30	* BackForTheFinale:
31	** Spider-Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Iron Fist, Black Panther and Doctor Strange all return to help out the Avengers during the first season finale.
32	** All previously mentioned characters also return for the finale to the second season in addition to [[spoiler:both the Winter Soldier and Loki.]]
33	* BadFuture: By the 30th Century, Kang the Conqueror rules over a decimated Earth. [[spoiler: Though he is eventually beaten back by the future Inhumans, freeing the 30th century Earth from his tyranny]].
34	* BatmanGambit: Tony pulls one off masterfully in Episode 13 with a heaping dose of SpannerInTheWorks. [[spoiler: Chloe called in Captain Marvel to help save Makoto when his powers go out of control. She's able to absorb the excess energy and comments she feels like she's ready to explode. Tony tells her to use it to make it seem like Makoto did go up and kill them, FakingTheDead so they can find out what The Leader is up to.]]
35	* BigBad:
36	** [[spoiler: Kang the Conqueror]] in the first season.
37	** Maximus in the second season.
38	* BigBrotherMentor: Spider-Man tries to act as this, mostly to Chloé and Adi.
39	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Arnim Zola attempts to use mind controlling technology to keep [[spoiler: Bucky]] under Hydra's control. He's stopped by Captain America.
40	* BusFullOfInnocents: After hijacking the Hulk Buster armor, the Green Goblin shows his callous disregard for innocent bystanders by using the armor to try and kill the people inside a bus.
41	* CallingYourAttacks: Used in a similar fashion as ''Anime/MarvelDiskWarsTheAvengers''.
42	* CanonForeigner: The Avengers three teenaged apprentices, [[spoiler: and Bruno]]. None of them show up in any Marvel television shows, other than this one.
43	* CanonImmigrant: Secondary stories featuring the team appeared in ''VideoGame/MarvelFutureFight Firsts'', showing that a version of them that mostly sticks to the series' OriginStory lives in the 616 version of Japan. Adi later made an appearance in ''War of the Realms: New ComicBook/AgentsOfAtlas'' #3.
44	* CardCarryingVillain: With a group calling themselves the Masters of Evil, this can naturally be assumed.
45	* EmpathicWeapon: The Ebony Blade, which only allows the ''worthy'' to wield it, including King Arthur and Merlin. All the Avengers tried to pull it from its enchanted pedestal and couldn't budge it. However, Makoto could lift it easily.
46	* EnemyMine: Loki helps the Avengers against the Masters of Evil [[spoiler: though that's quickly revealed to be an act]].
47	* EvilGenius: The Leader often refers to himself this way.
48	* EvilGloating: When it looks like her team of Avengers are about to be executed, Captain Marvel asks Leader what the "Emerald Rain Project" is. In his hubris, Leader is more than happy to tell her.
49	* EvilVersusEvil: Loki vs [[spoiler: Kang the Conqueror]] during the final episodes of the first season.
50	* ExcaliburInTheStone: When the Avengers tried to lift the Ebony Blade from it's pedestal, they all failed. Only for Makoto to lift it easily.

53	* FriendToAllChildren: Spider-Man goes out of his way to protect Chloé and Adi when they work together.
54	* FiveEpisodePilot: The first StoryArc of the show lasts more than one episode.
55	* GreenRocks: The [[spoiler:Terrigen crystals]]. Both Red Skull and the Leader mostly used them to enhance human beings and turn them into [[SuperSoldier Super Soldiers]].
56	* HotWitch: The Enchantress and Morgan are both witches and have head-turning looks.
57	* JerkassHasaPoint: A little less jerky then most examples but the Winter Guard. Captain America should have asked permission to operate in their territory and they are justified in try to captured the Winter Soldier, who has a perfectly valid warrant for his arrest.
58	* InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha: Tony's "Hulk Buster" armor more closely resembles a giant robot than his others suits.
59	* KidAppealCharacter: The "Future Avengers" themselves, as they're closer to the target age group than the older Avengers.
60	* LegionOfDoom: The Masters of Evil in the first season, comprised of the Leader, Amora the Enchantress, Ares, the Winter Soldier, and ([[SixthRanger tangentially]]) Arnim Zola [[spoiler: with Kang the Conqueror as the ManBehindTheMan]].
61	* LighterAndSofter: Than many of Marvel's [[Anime/MarvelAnime previous anime series]].
62	* MsFanservice: Black Widow and Captain Marvel's hero outfits are very form-fitting.

65	** When Chloé points out his look isn't exactly inconspicuous, Spider-Man mentions that he might consider changing to an all black costume instead.
66	** The Winter Soldier is introduced in Episode 3 attempting to assassinate the Red Skull. The Winter Soldier was introduced in [[ComicBook/CaptainAmericaWinterSoldier the original comic story]] successfully carrying out an assassination attempt on the Skull.
67	** Creator/StanLee cameos as a hot dog vendor [[Film/XMen1 once again]].
68	** At the end of episode 18, when Deadpool grabs the crystal containing [[spoiler: Makoto's powers]], he turns into Zenpool from ''Comicbook/{{AXIS}}''.
69	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The main villains named themselves the ''Masters of Evil''.
70	* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Thor's hammer {{Mjolnir}}, as well as the Ebony Blade.
71	* PostClimaxConfrontation:
72	** After the final battle with [[spoiler:Kang]], Leader makes one last attempt on Makoto and Bruno, but he is stopped by Winter Soldier.
73	** After the final battle with Maximus, Maximus, having survived the destruction of his fighter, later resurfaces under the guise of a waiter and makes a last ditch effort to kill the Avengers and Future Avengers at a party while Makoto is giving a speech, but he is promptly thwarted by Loki.
74	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Chloé is the only female Future Avenger. Also seen among the villains, where the Enchantress is the only female member of the Masters of Evil.
75	* SuperRegistrationAct: One banning all superheroes is endorsed by Norman Osborn and it gets passed. Spider-Man, Chloe and Adi are able to expose Osborn as the Green Goblin and get the law nulled.
76	* {{Technopath}}: Adi has this ability, calling it his "Technical Act".
77	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While most of the superheroes the Avengers meet come BackForTheFinale of the first season, neither Ms. Marvel nor the Winter Guard are seen or mentioned. [[spoiler:Bucky]] returns briefly, but only after the main crisis is over.

79	* VillainTeleportation: The Masters of Evil can appear and disappear via a combination of science and magic.
