I don't really think that they were after a convential superteam, as such, they just wanted someone, anyone, with superpowers that could use as a bargining chip or extortion impliment... which is an idea, in concept, that really would have worked better back in the Wildstorm Universe.

I mean, I can see the benefits of the UN having their own team of superpeople to call on when necessary (as both disaster relief and as a means to forcing rogue states into line, stopping pirates, genocide etc.), but the fact that they appear to be bitter that they didn't get the superhumans they'd prefer (higher tier ones like Superman etc.), coupled with the team's suspect reputations cause them to be a lot more heavy handed that they'd expect.

Really their approach would work better if, say, they had Captain Atom and other military heroes on the team (beyond General August In Iron and Rocket Red). But as it is they're trying to make mostly civilian heroes act like soldiers without any training etc., and bizarrely that ended up being a disaster.

The reputations just make them an easier target to deflect blame, which might be the issue more than Chinese!Amanda Waller was suggesting.

Chinese!Amanda Waller

hmmm, i can't unsee that now.... i wouldn't be against her trying to play an Amanda Waller game of intruige... Though if they were going for an Amanda Waller type, why not just use Amanda Waller? I mean changes aside, i like Amanda on the Suicde Squad (a book that has gotten a shit ton better).

*sigh* all this makes me miss Checkmate... i loved that series, it did Political intruige well.... the dynamic between Mr. T, Sasha, Alan, and Amanda was great, and Gay Judomaster! (well, Judomaster's Gay Son)
