Well, Kingbirdy, on the powers note, Roy didn't bring anything new to the team in Season One, and yet, there he was. Archery away.... They had a whole episode about why Artemis felt like she was being replaced.

Lagoon Boy is not "replacing" Kaldur. It may seem like it, but both Kaldur and La'gaan are more than just the "water guys." La'gaan has a purpose on the team and has a purpose on the show: drama. Sure, his fish speak is overused, and so I dislike that aspect of his character, but he's not a bad character. His attitude and personality create friction on the others, just like Guy Gardner does in the comics compared to the other Lanterns. So don't fret too much. He might not be the guy on the team you'd want to meet, but he's much more than M'gann's rebound guy.
