When we look at Teen Titans since the 80s-Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy & Cyborg. If right issues with Donna was not in the way-we might have saw her, Speedy & Malcolm Duncan.
Avengers same thing-you will see that team with at least Thor, Iron Man, Hulk & Cap America-at least live action wise.
Cartoon wise you will at least see Falcon and some version of that team.
X-Men-you will not see an X-Men team without Storm or Wolverine. They pretty much took out Angel & Ice Man out of the cartoon for those two and Jubliee in the cartoons.
Justice League always had Superman, Batman, WW & Flash with Aquaman, a Green Lantern & Manhunter. With some exceptions-the CBS pilot & Batman Brave & Bold.
I think the issue is that first version is what everyone goes by.
And the moment you take one of them out for another-you see backlash like we saw with McDuffie's Justice League run or Waid's upcoming Avengers run.
