The description of the Chief's medical work in India also works for the amoral version - just gotta shift the tone of the narration a little.

(" He was just the kinda guy.. ")

From everything I ever saw, this version of the team just never really solidified or liked each other. And reuniting them for the 1988 series didn't do them much good. None of them seemed really eager to be back.

John Byrne ... drawing a story in which a teenage girl hooks up with her much older daddy figure? Well, that doesn't seem in character for him at all!
