Beast Boy is pretty one of a kind. He's not like Vixen. B'wana Beast or even Animal Man. Besides, he's got the blood-brother thing going with Miss M, she can be his mentor.

Mary Marvel would be fun... if it weren't for Wonder Girl and Batgirl already on the Team. With so many strong female characters beside her, she's at high risk of becoming a prudish "golly gee-wiz" fifties ninny. Her character has not been used well lately. I think if the Big Red Cheese gets a sidekick (which is more likely now he's 15), I prefer it to be Freddy Freeman for some reason.

Jason Todd/Red Hood is pretty much a rival of everyone. Every Robin has been said to be better at something than Bruce. Dick's the better fighter, Tim's the better detective, Damian is more determined and ruthless, and Jason is better at pissing people off. A lot better.
