explore the comic book origin of the
runways as with most comic book
characters there are often reimagining
Xand different versions to a character’s
past we’ve chosen primarily to follow
the storyline which unfolded in 2003’s
runaways number one and six and 2004’s
runaways number 13 all of which was
expanded upon in 2015’s runaways volume
four number one the runways are a group
of youths Alex chase Gert Karolina Nico
and Molly for their entire lives they’ve
been thrown together once a year when
all their parents converged for an
annual meeting at Alex’s rather
luxurious house while the adults were
off discussing their charitable
activities for the coming year the kids
all hang out one year Alex decided they
should spy on their parents gathering
using a secret passage hidden in the
game room kids were able to watch and
listen to what they assumed would be a
boring meeting turned out it was
anything but boring for starters they
saw their parents sitting around a table
dressed like supervillains then the
meeting got even weirder when their
loving parents mercilessly slaughtered a
young woman as part of a ritual
sacrifice this was apparently something
they had been doing at each of their
annual get-togethers it was all part of
their involvement in something called
the pride shocked the children didn’t
know what to do at first they met up
later that night to figure out a course
of action at Alex’s urging they
contacted the police the cops didn’t
take them seriously what can we get
their hands on some evidence the kids
discovered instead a dinosaur living in
a secret room in Gertz house meanwhile
their parents suspicious of their
children’s strange behavior learn that
their secret was out and began to hunt
the children down they even framed the
kids for the murder of the girl they
slaughtered at the meeting fleeing The
Runaways hid out in the ruins of a
strange mansion buried in the cave they
had secured a book written in a code
which Alex was able to decipher from
