In answer to Jimmy Chen's question, the Squadron Supreme (S2) owas tied
up witgh some stories involving the Serpent Crown.  There was an Aven-
gers story, and more important, a Defenders story that was the prequel
to the Limited Series.  

The "rip-off" of the JLA "just happened."  It seemed to evolve rather
than starting out deliberatly, but there were interesting similarities
and differences.  That's okay, however, since the story's kind of cute.
I like such touches as Arcanna/Zatanna as married with kids (and a cat
named "Crowley"); far more friendly than in the DC universe where there
are few married couples (how I wish Bruce Wayne would tie the knot with
Selina Kyle in the DC universe and settle down to raise a few bittens).
However, there are at least 11 more issues so that the Marvel scripters
can mess it up if they've a mind to.
