Different books can have different scopes like (a) street-level, security work or regional threats, (b) domestic superheroes, (c) international threats and (d) cosmic teams.
Just as an example of what I mean regarding this type of structure and consideration. low-key a wishlist
Security team (X-Force or X-Factor) of Wolverine, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Psylocke (Kwannon), Shadowcat, and Prodigy
Domestic team (X-Men) of Cyclops, Warpath, Rogue, Emma Frost, Cecilia Reyes, Jubilee, Hellion and Ms Marvel.
International team (X-Corp) of Captain Britian (Betsy), Monet, Colossus, Oya, Sunfire, Rictor, and Sunspot.
Cosmic team (Immortal or Red) of Jean Grey, Polaris, Iceman, Storm, Exodus, Xorn, Magik and Legion.
I do have a slight concern of maybe it unintentionally restricting roster creativity or killing the chance of interactions between characters of different power-scaling but I do think it's worth it to consider the type of book and antagonists you want the team to tackle.
