Mark Modrall (or is it mark modrall?) says about the Squadron Supreme:

>> 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)...

What first appeared back in the Avengers was the Squadron Sinister (evil),
which lives on regular Marvel-Earth.  They were created by the Grandmaster
as an imitation of the Squadron Supreme (good guys) who live on this other
Earth where Nelson Rockefeller was president.

Of course, we didn't know this at the time...
