My first thought: punctuation.

My second: Why would they elect or accept any of these two?

See, if feeling betrayed and cheated is a factor when you decide who should lead you to battle, these two are equally dirty. Not that I personally blame them, as a former soldier, I totally congratulate their clandestine scheme, but the team might feel otherwise. If they think AL can't lead them anymore, because of the whole "betrayal" thing, so can't Nightwing.

Also, anybody thought about that maybe neither of them wants to lead? Kal was reluctant from the beginning, and after Failsafe, Dick didn't wanted to be Batmanning his friends to their doom either. So, if they both are disqualified, or refuse to boss them around, who is left?

Wally is out of the team for good, I really don't think that spending the nights alone and awake will change his mind.

Superboy seems to matured a lot, and has everyones respect. No one would question his commands, not even Lagoon Boy, and he has this whole vast wikibrain, courtesy of Cadmus. It went under the radar, I know, but I doubt that those little imps only readied him to get an A+ in history class, seeing he was meant to be the weapon, who will kick Supes arse. On the other hand, he is still burdened emotionally, though for different reasons then before, and I didn't saw any signs of motivation. I think he could pull it of nicely, in fact, he looks to me as a man, who brings out his best under pressure. Not a bad choice, what I'm saying, and a quite obvious too, from the teams perspective.

Miss Martian. Okay, she is a bit mindrapey, but humans won wars under far worse guys. Also, she is a natural choice, since she is already the telepathic center in field operations, and quite powerful too, so it is unlikely that they would lose her early in a battle. Still, if they do lose her, they are robbed from telepathic contact, and leadership in one move, so tactically speaking, she is too risky of a choice.

Artemis also out, for the same reasons as Wally (and dick, and Cal).

Red Arrow. Not much against him, in fact, he might be the best choice. He overcame such odds, such hardships, you just have to salute the guy. Now, without these emotional drawbacks he solved himself, with his experience and determination he seems a good candidate, though Arsenal might think otherwise. Not sure that he would want to do it, or that he is even on the team now. Also, he lacks experience as a teamplayer, let alone teamleader.

From the new roster I can only think of four.

Batgirl and Bee smart enough, that is for sure, but haven't displayed anything, that would indicate anyone would vote for them. Not yet anyway. Blue has access to the Scarabs database, but that works two ways, and there is this whole prophecy thing.

And of course Guardian. For all we know, he might have been coordinator even under Aqualad, and you got to admit: he has balls the size of a sixteen-wheeler.

I say, give superboy a shot at this.
