Well, with the Light they managed to give some solid equality to the original team in terms of development. Blue's had a ridculous amount compared to the other freshmen though. Certain things that don't so heavily involve the Reach up front could have quite easily have been granted to other members such as Wonder Girl.
 * Happy New Year, Blue in Gamma.
 * Tye, or Sam, or virgil, or Eduardo could easily have been the friend of one of the others.
 * The taking down of the Appelaxian golem with Superboy.

All those things could have been quite reasonably done with other Freshmen, the story wouldn't be lacking, but we'd have more development for them and less on the character who barely needed it anyway. (Since BB was known from Brave and the Bold, his story, the Reach, nothing new there)
