hey guys,  i actually like the concept of this one.  the story has sort of
been lurking in the back of everyone's minds for years, and marvel just 
happened to have a reality close enough to pull it off around...

now, granted, i think they went a bit far in the dc rip-off vein (further
than the characters originally started out)... argonite??? utopia island???
still, princess powers boyfriend was a nice touch...

the thing that really got me was that when the squad first appeared,
they were a bunch of super-villans that had banded together to rob better
(a la earth 3)... the next time you see them, they were still together
and employed by the govt as mercenaries (the govt was corrupt, and run by
nelson rockafeller)...

now we see them as "concerned citizens"????
oh,well... suspension of disbelief and all that stuff....
