User blog comment:Justice Avenger/Which young heros you think should be added to The Team?/@comment-4026406-20120621230427/@comment-4928331-20120622103731

Unfortunately, Matthew, the show itself contradicts your viewpoint. The Team DOES get assigned dangerous or important missions.

Consider "Happy New Year". The UN was invaded by someone who was impervious to Earthly weapons. Note, the United Nations, not an ordinary fire. Who did Captain Atom turn to? Not the League, but he asked Nightwing to send a squad there.

And they're not there to sight-see. They're there to protect the Secretary-General, one of the most important figures in the world.
