Do you see it as an equal to the Justice League? Or at least it's own thing?
Or do you see it as a 'Junior Justice League' where the members must 'graduate' to being Leaguers?
Do you see them as X-Men is to Avengers? Where the members aren't Captain America, Iron Man, Thor level of status, but they're still very capable?
Or do you see them as New Mutants is to X-Men? Where the members are considered lesser until they're rewarded with membership in the big team?
