It first appeared in 2002, and focuses on Kid Gravity, a future space adventurer that attends the Hawking School of Astronautics and Astrophysics. The school teaches young heroes and villains. It has many futuristic ideas, and often focuses on quantum mechanics or the perils of interdimensional/time travel. Kid Gravity is the creation of Landry Walker and Eric Jones.

Kid Apocalypse: the villain who wants to take over the world and take out Kid Gravity. He is occasionally in detention with Kid Gravity.

The "New Kid": a blue headed Zargian from the planet Zarg who insists he has been sent to the school to conquer, yet no one believes him (hence the events in an early comic where he was put on the "good guy" team in space dodgeball).
