cap_ironman | Avengers Academy Month: Cap-IM Universe Medley Fest

Banner created by starksnack, with thanks!

There's still time to finish up and share your fills for Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Month, but in the meantime, it's the 15th, so welcome to the third month of Cap-IM's Universe Medley fest!

You can create as many works as you like across as many different mediums as you like! This is a no-pressure, low commitment challenge to encourage you to try something new, stretch your creativity, and check out other versions of Steve and Tony.

For our full fest guidelines, including our annual schedule, please click here.

This month, welcome to Avengers Academy!

Avengers Academy burst on the scene early in 2016 (check out some short promo vids here, here and here) as a mobile game featuring our favourite Avengers as teenage superheroes.

Avengers Academy (fondly shortened to AvAc) is the perfect canon for all those high school shenanigans to unfold — who needs the "AU" tag when Marvel's done it for you? The game is no longer running as of February 2019, but you can still post your game run-through clips, gif your favourite Stevetony moments, and share some of the nine million outfits for Steve with fellow fans.

Teen Tony and Teen Steve have their issues, but they're great friends too, and what's not to love about having a water fight or playing a dance game on Halloween? Got a hankering for first crush stories? Artwork of that first kiss? A vid of funny, touching or embarrassing prom-posals? Everyone (except Steve) has a cell phone, study dates at the Timeless Archives, dances at Club A, the hot tub in the iconic Stark Tower: there's plenty to work with, and you can always mix things up to suit your work.

Whether you slip in canon references or not, we'll always have Blacksmith Tony talking with Gladiator Steve about Steve's biceps… so why not give AvAc a try?!
