Every aspiring superhero should read How to be a Superhero, by Mark Leigh and Mike Lepine. There's an informative chapter titled "The Problem With Boy Wonders." It has a few things to say about heroes trying to recruit young boys to come and live with them, learn wrestling and acrobatics, then wear tights and cruise the streets at night looking for action. There are sections covering trying to explain the new boy-in-the-house to the wife, and maybe a girl wonder would have been better, and then trying to explain that to the wife...

The conclusion of the chapter was basically, never get a boy wonder.
