I have to side with those who believe the runaways end up becoming antagonistic. Not evil. Antagonistic.

Think about how Red Arrow was occassionally positioned. He resented the League for denying him admission, was suspicious of Artemis and, later, Superboy, really pushing the mole angle hard. All of this revealed to be the Light manipulating him and thus was antagonistic action, even if Red Arrow wasn't fully aware of what was happening.

I can easily see the same thing happening with the runaways. They get used to the idea of having powers, get manipulated by somebody associated with the Light to go after the Reach, then the Reach ambassador claims they are kids who idolize the League, allowing Godfrey to go on with his propoganda. In other words, antagonistic action, even if the runaways aren't fully aware of the whole story.
